Aww thank you ? he's loved his scholars classes just a shame he can't continue with them come September xx

Yes our ds had his last bbo class on Sunday ? xx

Our DS will also be joining year 7 we are all very excited xx

I completely agree with the majority. My DS only started Ballet 18 months ago. After begging his teacher to let him have a go. He is going to vocational school in September.  He has never had any real issues with the Boys don't do ballet ect.  Once a boy at school said ballet is for girls his reply was I don't agree and I like it if it's good enough for Rio Ferdinand it's good for me.  

I think if they should be supported if they want to follow it but not pushed as my loose intrest. 

We need more boys in Ballet and it needs to be publicised more to show it is OK for boys to do it 

Hi Sarah2203, 

It is Denise Whiteman that is ment to be getting back to me.  My son is there to. Hopefully this week just how know what you work on for Hammond final ect

Elmhurst don't usually give feedback from pre-lims due to the amount of dc auditioning. Feedback post finals last year was a phone call but was not until mid May, and was very helpful. Xx

HI, 

It was finals and was told would get back to me last week. He is also an associate. We would just like it prior to funding audition ect. Past that is not helpful. 

Hi all, 

Has anyone with a DC that got a no received feedback yet. I have emailed and called but still no feed back.  Happy my DS got a no as he has been offered a place at hammond which he loves. But would like feedback prior to the funding audition. 

I remember the head saying 16 to 19 places. Unsure of numbers

​Hi all thanks so much. still cant believe how fast results were two days.

Still in complete shock. how do your DC find the boarding. I know it looks old and not as some my expect. but I thought it was homely and very friendly. witch is far more important then brand new accommadation. the boarding staff were lovely.

So so proud DS has had his letter today offering him a place at The Hammond.

So so proud DS has had his letter today offering him a place at The Hammond. just a question it dos not mention boarding i assume this  is just a given and this will come later?

thanks in advance 

Congrats Happymum really pleased for you and your DS

We had our letter today it was a no for our DS but he enjoyed it all and tried his best that's all that matters and he's still smiling.

Best of luck with the funding audition

I hope so happymum.

Really don't like the waiting game!

Just received our letter from Tring following our DD's audition on 28th November. Fantastic news is she has been offered a place but sadly no funding available.

Hi Klparris, 

That's Fantastic news. funding is few and far between for Tring i think.

You can defo do this. Just do as they say. Google YouTube to mp3. Save on computer and burn to disc using Windows media player. I did this this week for ds audition at tring.

Sunshine girl, it hopefully just the post

Happymum that's fab. See you there to. Hope tring is fast I hate the waiting game

Hope everyone's dc had a lovely day and enjoyed the tring experience. My ds came out as said he just wished he could do the whole day again it was so good.

Ty everyone best of luck to all the DC auditioning today. Happymum my DS struggled to sleep think it was a mixture of nerves and excitement. See you soon

The journey begins to tring!!

2 years ago if I remember well there were around 10 (if not more) boys at finals, but it might have been a mix of year 7-11.

 

Generally because of very limited MDS offers there aren't many boys at Tring (on dance course) A year or 2 ago there where only 2 or 3 in year 7. More boys join later apparently. Boys have their everyday ballet class together with girls and have only a separate boys only class with male teacher if possible while girls have their point class.

That was worrying me a bit but then the school produced some great dancers and more then once Tring boys got in to RBS upper school so the training is very good.

Hi, 

Thanks for the info, I am able through work mainly giving me a boarding school allowance to pay a lot towards his education and training so would not really be looking at the MDS route and would much prefer an MDS slot go to a talented child not in my child place.    

Hi Caitlin_dance, 

WOW Only one boy. its a lovely school thanks for the feed back. 

It's all very existing and daunting. we had our yes for finals letter the following Tuesday for Elmhurst.  

Hi all, 

Just wondering if any had a DC audition for Junior Dance Course on 28 nov 16. if so what was the breakdown of Boys/girls and how did you DC enjoy the day. 

thanks
