Skintdancemum and RichieN,

 

Were either of your DDs in the callback at finals? 

Nope no call back either . I think all that got finals have been waitlisted or offered a place .  

Good luck to those still waiting to hear x

So I guess from a parent's perspective what it means is that your daughter is RBS standard, but there isn't a place.... I'll take that for now, and whatever comes up will be fine. My view is that as the number of associate centres goes from 8 in Juniors to 4 in the mids, a SWL is a fine result.

Yes that's a great way to look at it esp as our dds were not JAs and made it all the way to finals . ?

Lol, not sure. Does anyone know how short the SWL actually is? 

From what I hear its not short at all lol ?

Well done to your DD, she still stands a chance. Hope she is successful. My DD didn't get a place but onwards and upwards.

Places are like gold dust I think . Let's hope for better luck for us next year x

Well done Skintdancemum - fingers crossed for some movement on that SWL. Is that for year 7? Has anyone heard of any news for yr 8 mids? 

Yes that's year 7 . Think places are like gold dust in Manchester this year so not holding out much hope esp as she wasn't a JA and I'm sure they are higher up the waiting list x

That's still amazing though and you never know. Well done to your DD ?

Thank you ? 

Short wait list for Manchester for us.which I think is just a prolonged no lol . More waiting ... 

In shock to say my DD is one of the 2 JA girls from Eastleigh...

There are 2 girls and 2 boys with yes emails from our centre.

Those that have followed my story will know that we started this road with a "no" email from RB in yr4... So just goes to show it really does just mean "not yet"

Please don't let your lovely DC give up :x

Well done ! The teacher is obviously doing something right down there ! Hope they all enjoy it x

It's a no for my DD (Y7).

 

I guess it's different for us, as we didn't ask to audition for White Lodge, but were invited to the final after attending the Mid Associates audition.

 

But while she was there, DD fell in love with the place, and is still understandably upset. But that's life. We're holding out for a mid associates place.

 

Well done to those who were accepted. It looked like a tough selection this year. I would not have liked the job of choosing between all those talented children.

We were the same as you only went for mids so we don't feel like we lost out on anything and I wasn't quite ready to let her go anyway . I think getting a mids place is going to be just as tough !

No place for us this year . Kinda relieved in a way ! Good luck everyone else xx

We have a very happy DS in the house tonight. His dream will soon be a reality , so exciting. Well done all,good luck to all the girls. X

Amazing news ! Well done x

I am somewhere between dreading getting the email tomorrow and just being glad to be able to move on , although then it's the wait for the mids places ! Good luck everyone x

Oops not sure what I did there was trying to say a big congratulations to wriggly bunny . You must have a very excited house tonight . X

As DS now knows, I'm very, very proud (and in absolute shock!!!) to say that he has been offered a place at WL for Y7 in September. Good luck to everyone still waiting. xxx

Just posted on face book that lower ss on Friday and senior next Friday

My daughter auditoned for year 10 on Friday! They said we would have results by Tuesday... nothing yet

Oh my ! I bet you are going mad waiting ! Hope you get good news soon x

Good luck to all those who are awaiting results or auditioning over the next few days . I will have no nails left by next week !

Good luck to everyone . Hope the results don't take too long to come out !

My dd is just 11 at the end of July so will be one of the younger ones auditioning , if the other one has a birthday in September then only just missed so if talented would be a shame to miss out . Also school years in Scotland are different and not sure if still is but used to be a cut off date and end of march rather than end of August so anyone from Scotland could be slightly younger or older I suppose . Good luck to everyone and look forward to meeting some of you next week . ????

What will be will be . It's a privilege to be attending finals and Will just be a fantastic experience . If they decide it's not the right time for my dd then it will mean I don't have to miss her and can keep her all to myself ! Good luck to everyone attending and enjoy it !

Hi hairbelles , the email received says we have to attend both days this year .

Registration on the Friday will be from 8:30am for a 9:00am start with all dancers required to return on Saturday to continue the selection process. On the Saturday afternoon, some dancers may be asked to remain for a final recall class (call back), however all will be finished by 4.00pm.

I think it's fantastic that it's over 2 days this year as it's a fab break away . I can't wait !! Just wondered why the change this year , perhaps they have Taken more to finals this time .

Yes us too balletmummy55 . Hadn't even considered white lodge as an option before receiving the email as we only went for MAs so nothing to lose and will be a fantastic experience !
