Glad to hear your dd enjoyed her audition yesterday. I think your dd might have been in the same one as my dd as there was a class of boys after us too
-
It's definitely not essential so don't worry. If you are concerned about having no dance over the summer or falling behind her peers what about a couple of privates with her favourite teacher that would keep her ticking over without incurring the expense of a summer school

I think Pups_mum has really covered everything but I just wanted to add that dd went to her first summer residential when she was going into year 6 and enjoyed every minute if it. It was beneficial to her in so many ways. Aside from the wonderful teaching she received it gave her so much confidence & independence. I am pretty sure Opes takes from 9 & if she's going to be 10 before the summer it might be worth giving Elmhurst a call as they accepted my dd at 10, though she was only a few months off 11 at the summer school. It was a nice one to start with because it's shorter at only 3 days though my dd did come away wishing it was longer which seemed to be the general consensus.

Congratulations to your dd. Great to hear that the Tring letters are starting to arrive. What date did your dd audition?

I'm reading this thread with great interest as I have recently been chatting to dd's school about PE & the risk of injury, particularly during audition season. Under the circumstances the school have been understanding & have signed her off PE temporarily so long as I put it in writing for their records. Longer term though it is still a concern of mine & I appreciate that outside of school not every child is involved in a physical activity but dd,12, dances for 9 hours a week & using the time that she was meant to be in PE to do homework would be a huge help to her. I am thankful that she has an understanding PE teacher that has a genuine interest in dd's ballet & even came to watch her perform with EYB last year.

My dd just wore the same as she had been wearing for the rest of the audition. She said that everyone else in her audition done the same
-
We were on the 9th

I was just coming to ask if anyone had heard anything back from Tring yet? I know they said 3 weeks & it's not quite 3 weeks for us yet. I need to learn to be more patient I think

What about a starch spray?
-
I remembered at the last minute to put dd's application in. She's been on the waiting list for the past 2 years so I think she is hoping this year might be 3rd time lucky. We can only hope! I did it all in such a hurry that I didn't even look at when we would hear but if its end of February at least we don't have too long to wait
-
Sorry I had read your post completely the wrong way round!! I have only heard of a couple of seniors that got in as juniors but didn't get in as seniors. Good luck to your dd
-
My dd got a no at her first EYB audition & went back next time & got the full scholarship so it's definitely worth trying again even if you have got a no in the past

That link should be to the child sizes. It starts at age 4-6 & goes to age 12-14.

I think this is the type balletbean means. My younger dd has this one & it's great https://www.planetdancedirect.co.uk/Bloch-Tendu-All-In-One-Jersey-Warmup

My dd done Opes last year & is keen to do it this year again too. I don't think the applications are open yet as I remember looking not that long ago though I'm sure they won't be long.

I'm almost certain dancique in Birmingham stock them so it might be worth giving them a call. They are really helpful so I'm sure will sort you out if they can
-
Thank you NicolaP17. She was absolutely thrilled & is looking forward to the finals. Still have RBS audition coming up so it's a confidence boost before that too
-
Poor girl. I hope she's feeling better soon & fingers crossed ahe can do the Birmingham audition
-
Postman has just been & I'm delighted to say that dd has a yes for Year 8 finals at Elmhurst! Well done to everyone who has got a yes & big hugs to those who missed out this year but don't give up on your dreams
-
Bloch, Sansha & intermezzo all do lovely warm ups that are reasonably priced. Dd has a few different ones but her favourite at the moment are the gaynor minden microtech pants that she got for Christmas over a pair of long leg warmers paired with a knitted shrug or warm up jumper. Usually she has a hoodie over the top of that. She loves layers that she can peel off as she warms up. Move dancewear usually have a good selection of warm ups at good prices

Dd is auditioning at tring this week & it said no longer than 1 minute on the email we got
-
Thank you I will take a look at it too & show it to dd
-
Thank you. That is good to know. Gives a bit of time to make travel arrangements
-
Thank you. I will let dd take a look at all of these
-
I think the applications for the RBS one have closed now
