Thanks very much for all the information. Just need to go away and think it all through now.

grumpybearz and Tippy_Toes, thank you so much. One final question, are the boys taught separately or together?

I feel much better informed!

Can anyone explain to me a little bit more about the associate classes in terms of class timings etc. I realise the ballet is the compulsory class - do optional jazz and exercise for children classes follow consecutively? Does everyone do them? My DSs dance teacher does not have anyone on the programmes and I don't really have anyone to ask.

Thanks so much for your help

Thank you spannerandpony. i have just stumbled across these forums. I can see there is an awful lot about the world of ballet that I had no idea about!!

Thanks to all who have helped answer my question. Yes, the chances of boys getting a place do seem much better than for girls!

Thank you so much Angela and grumpybearzuk - that is really helpful. I am just pleased by son will get a chance to dance with other boys for a change. He will have to pull his socks up though (literally and metaphorically). Daughter being very stoic but just keeping it all low key.....

Thanks Amber21 - kind of you to respond. Have twins who both auditioned - DS got a place, DD didn't. Pretty tough really but they have both been good about it.

Hello

First timer here. My DS unexpectedly got a place for yr 4 Elmhurst associates. Does anyone have any idea of how many boys there might be? He has many questions that I can't answer!
