Blimey - still a wait for us Birmingham then! 

I have very little hope of success for DD as not sure she fits the JA profile but nothing ventured nothing gained 😊

Hi .. just wondering whereabouts you live as we will be together in Birmingham

Sent you a PM 😊

Just wondering how they add more children into the class each year? Can you be asked to leave the programme? 

Thanks for confirming the classes/times... early start for us then! 

Hello! My DD is starting year 5 in Birmingham. 
 

Does anyone know if they run a year 4/5 class then a separate year 6 class as JAs? 
 

I wonder if they’ll delay the start slightly this year given all that needs to be sorted. 

Agree all our DC have been superstars given the situation which has been less than ideal to put it mildly! Special mention to @LilyLongLegs and her DD for a heroic audition - don’t know how you managed!

Unfortunately it's a no for my DD  Yr 6 but the I had a gut feeling it would be as the audition didn't go too well. She's a bit disappointed as she was offered a Year 5 place last year but sadly had to decline. She has yr6 RBS JAs, lower mids Ballet Boost and EYB to focus on in Sep, It's a strange old world this ballet malarkey 🤣 especially when you don't have a ballet background... roll on vocational auditions for YR7... I'm dreading it! 🤣

Congratulations to all who got a yes and to the nos.. remember,  it's not a no, just a not yet x

Sounds like your DD has had a super year getting into JAs, Ballet Boost etc. Big things ahead for sure and I’d chalk Elmhurst up to experience, especially given zoom etc. Well done to her. 

For everyone still waiting, I know that the year 7 results came through at about 10:30pm so still a chance that you will hear today! 
 

Huge well done to those with a yes and commiserations to those with a not yet - they’re all still so young so much can change in the future x 

It’s a yes for year 5 Birmingham for us too! Very surprised after the audition catastrophe 😊

Fingers crossed those waiting for year 6 results hear soon!

Ooh, that does look amazing. Would your dd board? We are 2.5 hours away so would either have to board or make a holiday out of it for the whole family! 😀

Yes she’ll board - from what I understand there’s a few of that age who do and they try and room them together 😊

My DD, 10 next year,  will be at Malvern. She hasn’t been before (though was booked in for both Easter and summer this year) but sounds such a lovely week! 

Ha when I saw you had posted I hoped it was to say Saturday results were in (and positive news of course!).

I am equally as impatient 😂

Bit of a disaster for DD 😩

She went wrong on a couple of exercises and just didn't feel she performed well. Oh well - CBA and JAs still to come!

No they didn't ask for shoes to be removed.

 

My DD enjoyed it towards the end as she was so nervous to begin with. Good luck everyone auditioning tomorrow xx

Thank you! 

Glad everyone seems to have enjoyed it 😊 Do you mind me asking what sort of stretches / exercises they had to do? Though will probably be a bit different for year 5. 

Fingers crossed it's a short wait for you all x

Do you know when we find out? 

I know that some auditioning for year 7 last Saturday found out late Monday night! 

Did you DC have to take their shoes off at any point? Have the sock glue ready for tomorrow but worried about using if they do.

She kept looking at me! 😂😂 I think she forgot from time to time she was live on zoom lol 

Oh bless her! Did she enjoy it?

How did you all get on? X

Just checked in to ask the same! 

Best of luck to everyone auditioning today! Hope it all goes wonderfully for you 😊

Are there curtains over the window you could draw? That might give a better view than having her silhouetted against the light.  

 

If not we can pray for a dull day for you! 

No curtains - we're doing a big renovation/extension on the house and haven't got round to putting any up. Will see what I can fashion!

Morning, I received the email about my DD Sunday audition just after 8pm last night. Has yours come through now? We are grp 4.

Yes finally have the info - phew!

Good luck for Sunday 😊

You do 😂👏.... my DD auditioned for RBS and that took me 3 hours to upload. I'd recorded in super HD  or something 😂🤦‍♀️ xx

Ha I did this with a competition piece! Spent HOURS trying to compress into a size I could send 😂

it just states it shouldn't be in a bedroom. It should be somewhere with a neutral background and family members shouldn't be visible in the backgroundxx

Just reading this - the space that DD usually dances in has a huge window behind her which makes her look a bit silhouettey. Might try and hang something behind her. All this stress over a zoom 😂

Hopefuly they will send Sundays soon.. what year is your DD going for? It said use the space you've used for other online lessons and some safety stuff. It's all really easy to understand... even for me! 😂😂🙄 xx

Thank you! Our small living room will have to do 🙈

We're going for a year 5 Birmingham place. 

Still no email re Sunday 😩

Am a little stressed about having enough space for DD to dance in. Is there any mention of it in the info you have? Hope they get something out to us soon.
