I had an email for the older group but it went into my junk folder so might be worth checking

Jason Thomas is great for ballet along with lots of other styles, they get lots of students into vocational school and have fantastic teachers! My Ds goes to a school in Plymouth but had some private lessons with Jason before his final auditions, he said the lessons were really good and was then offered a scholarship to Tring!! 

Ds was offered a scholarship to Tring yesterday. In complete shock!!!!!

Any advise for the next step for a devastated 16 year old non vocational DD who has just received a no from Elmhurst, the only final audition she had for upper school. We only applied for RBS, ENB, Central and Elmhurst. Her dance teacher really believes she is good enough to make it in the ballet world and she was an Elmhurst associate. Advise on whether  anyone gets in at 17, where the best places to try are etc would be greatly appreciated. She really wants to do classical rather than contemporary.

My ds is in the same situation after a no from elmhurst and no funding offered at Tring. If anyone can recommend any foundation courses that are still taking applications I would be very grateful. 

We had a letter today after auditions on 30th, DS through to finals for upper school :)

Thank you

Hello. Does anyone know if you can apply for tring sixth form if you didn't get in first time, my ds was unsuccessful for entry this year but will obviously be a year older than the sixth form starting age this time round. Thank you

Do the ribbons provide support?

I believe you need them, I don't know anything about pointe but the ballet teacher says he has to have them

We buy black ribbons and elastic, you need a sharpie permanent marker to colour them and they look as good as buying them black

My ds is 16 and does pointe classes with the senior girls at his dance school. His teacher thinks it is good for boys to know what the girls have to go through!! She thinks it is also good for strength. We buy pink ones and he colours them black with sharpie marker pens. He is the only boy that does it at the moment and he enjoys it, I think he just likes to get the extra lessons as they do seperate pointe classes

My ds got a no from elmhurst, I was amazed when I told him that he was actually really relieved, he told me he had been terrified that he would get in as the reality of leaving home had set in and he just isn't ready!!! He is keen to try again next year as he thinks he will be more ready to leave home by then (he is only 15 now) he is looking forward to summer school and says he knows he has to work even harder now for the next year. Amazing how things turn out!!

Has anyone else not heard from Elmhurst? Thank you.

We haven't heard yet

TBG your dd must be doing the same eyb as my ds:) we are waiting for upper school results!!

We have an envelope waiting to be opened for my DD..about to collect her from school for EYB rehearsals...at least that will pick her up if it's a no. Well done to all those yes's and maybe see the not now's next year at auditions. Dont give up, just make the most of the next 12 months. A lot can change in a year. I believe they do give feedback from finals but it's given to their dance teacher..

wishing the very best of luck to the girls auditioning at elmhurst today :)

I will be so relieved when it's all over and can get life back to normal, for a few months at least if he doesn't get in and we have to do it all again next year!!!

Thank you, there are 10 in his group, not sure how many places there are for boys, they have space for 45 in the accommodation for 2 year groups. After seeing the accommodation it has made him more desperate to get a place, am a nervous wreck!!

We are here now and the boys have just gone in to change. Nerve wracking times!!!

My ds always wanted to do ballet but was so shy he would only watch classes when he was little, eventually at the age of 11 he decided he was brave enough to join in and has been obsessed ever since, no big sisters or family to inspire him, just seemed to be something he always knew he wanted to do!

Thanks everyone, he got through to finals at elmhurst so all focused on that now once he recovers from his groin tear:(

My ds got a no yesterday from tring

Fantastic news dancing10!!! I am

Out for the day so hopefully there will be a letter when we get home:)

This is torturous!!!
