Blahblah

It was a no for my DD. She is currently very upset but I'm sure she'll bounce back

There were not many DC today at the audition 10 year 7 girls and a few from each other year group. It was a very nice experience though and my DD enjoyed the class and orthopaedic assessment.

I'm not expecting to be contacted as I think they must be fairly certain what they want if they are only inviting selected DC but it is kinda short notice

Thanks

i wasn't clear that it was the end of year report. That's all. 

Can anyone tell me when the children know whether they will move up to the next group at LJB? I thought it might say on the assessment results but it did not, so now I don't know.

thanks

My daughter has a yes too. Can anyone tell me what a practice skirt is though? Is it just a shiffon wrap skirt?

Thank you for the reply. Wow I can't believe it they are so tall for 13! It helps to know why they were in the same group and I will explain that to her. I think she was just a bit in awe of how well they all danced. 

My daughter attended the audition today but seemed to be grouped with much older children. Can anyone tell me how the classes were organised? She did not know a lot of the steps and came out feeling quite resigned. She is 10yo and does Grade 4

Anyone else heard yet? We are waiting results as well.

More waiting then lol

Does anyone know when the results for mid associates come out?

First time on the waiting list for DD who's 10. Proud of her for getting this far. Will try again next year

When are the results sent out for Elmhurst ss?

Can anyone tell me anything about these? My daughter is in junior foundation. I am wondering whether she is likely to be moved up a level (she needs a new leotard which I am reluctant to buy if it will only be for one term). Also, what do parents receive and do they get told straight after the assessments in a few weeks or are they made to wait until the end of the summer term? Thanks

This sound like my daughters ballet school. She was told to audition for RBS JA and BBO but we still went against the teachers wishes and auditioned for Elmhurst, Tring CBA and LJB as well. She was offered places at the last three and short waiting list for RBS. We chose LJB as it worked best for us as a family. She is loving it and I was pleasantly surprised at the standard / improvement in my daughter at the watching lesson at the end of term. Do what you think is best and follow your daughters lead. Local dance schools can only provide a limited timetable after all!

My DD did their summer course this year and had a great adventure

You are quite right hoglett, I did realise how far it was, but I assumed as many of us do that there was very little chance of her being offered a place on the course and the auditions themselves are such good experience. The children get to see how tough the competition is and see what dancing in a real dance studio is like. I feel that it is only a year and that it may be worth the upset and early mornings for 30 weeks just for her to have this experience.

Hi, I am after a bit of advice. My daughter has been offered a year 6 place on Elmhurst associates, but it is quite a distance to travel and her dance teacher thinks that she will not gain more than she will lose doing the course because she will have to stop modern and tap lessons which are on a Saturday morning.

My DD is going this year. She is 10 and it will be her first experience of Summer School.

My DD got SWL. Is there any realistic hope or should I let her down gently??

Congratulations to your DD Sugarpumpkin! We have also been offered Elmhurst Associates this year, but as it clashes with her training from her regular ballet school we may also have to turn it down. I am glad you recommend the training as my DD's dance teacher had not heard of the associate program and so we are not sure what to expect.

I know they are grouped according to level as opposed to age, but is there an approximate age for each group? My daughter is turning 10 this summer.

My daughter is going to start in September and she is very excited

Can anyone tell me which teacher from the faculty teaches the Junior Foundation Classes at London Junior Ballet? Or perhaps they have different teachers on a rotation? Thanks

Still no clue.....I presume it will be a no as they haven't replied to either of my emails.
