    DD got a yes today for final auditions at Elmhurst. She's super, super excited.

     

    Just wondering what the final might entail? Seen mention somewhere of a child/parent interview. Is that right? And to a non-verbal reasoning test, yes?

     

    Still nothing from WL.....

    Well done to your DD.

    Yes waiting for WL too!

    DD just put on a plain matching skirt over the leotard, just to make it a bit different and it fitted the music and choreography, for one of her audition solos.  The trouble I had getting the matching skirt - but she was really happy so that helped!

    Thank you, just what I was thinking! 

  3. Thank you, she will be gutted as she really liked the school. 

    But yes, your right something else will come along.

    Although didn’t make RBS WL last year, she has had so many lovely opportunities acting and modelling this year.

    Which she wouldn’t have done, if she was away. 

     

    Good Luck to all, so hope it’s good news for you. 🤞🏼

    AuntieNora I'm so sorry to hear that, but I have heard it is so hard to receive a year 8 place as they are so limited... she has done so well, I admire all of these girls and boys 

    Thanks NicolaP17, Thank You we have Royal still to wait for, so fingers crossed. 

    Bless her she got to finals for year 7 Royal last year and in Royal MA’s at the moment.

     

    We will just keep trying, so many talented children out there.

  5. I would recommend Mark Swann at Cambridge Ballet Academy,

     

    My dd only started ballet three years ago, doing normal graded ballet. She attended private classes with Mark to improve and extended her ballet knowledge, technique and strength,

    We got into RBS JA last year, WL Finals this year and looking forward to RBS Mids in September.

    Mark is an excellent teacher, and found his additional classes valuable. He's also a great help with forms, photos and getting us both -audition ready!

    Straight no for us after SWL for JAs last year. Not going in the right direction it seems ?. DD not worried luckily.

    Keep going, we did line up a couple of other associate programme auditions just in case, Central ballet and Ballet Theatre have associates programmes have auditions in May.

  7. We knew it was a slim chance of a place, I think my husband and I have taken it harder than she has. The new phone delivered today and a Jazz class helped.

    Biggest audition she's done to date so a fantastic experience. Her teacher today was great told her, he got knocked back from RBS (now performs in West End Musicals) unfortunately he explained in a nice way, if you choose this life you have to pick yourself up and move on. Best I've seen her dance jazz in ages.

  8. Balletmummy55 I do think the recalls is the undecided. My DD said they was a mixture of ballet strengths. So definitely looking for potential.

    DD said they was some amazing dancers, fantastic technique, just lacked that sparkle! (We talk about sparkle a lot at her dance school) Which is also what they are looking for.

    DD tripped up, but she got back on feet and back in time with music. I thought she would I have been devastated by this, but handle it very well.

    We are new to ballet only doing grades for 2 1/2 years, not on pointe and do approx 3.5 a week with JA's, privates and grade classes.

    I know DD will be gutted if it's a no, but she had a fantastic experience and knows she done well to get this far.

  9. My DD had a wonderful time at WL finals, she made some new friends. Fantastic experience for all the girls.

    My DD said she is feeling really stiff today, so really worked them hard yesterday.

    Good Luck All xxxx
