Well done to your daughter ! My daughter is in the current year 11 SA class in Birmingham , it’s a mixed class with year 10/11 with around 16 in the class . Time is 4- 6.15 pm and the go in around 3.45 pm . The teacher is incredible my daughter loves her . . 

Thank you so much, that is later than I thought probably better for us 👍 I am hoping to get the email with all the details on soon so we can plan.. will your daughter move up to AA’s? 

My dd had a yes for SA in Birmingham she is going into school year 11 from September so I am guessing that is SA2? Does anyone know how many are in a class and what the times are for Birmingham? She is very excited and September can’t come quick enough 🩰 x

Does anyone think London will be tomorrow with Totnes, Friday  or next week? I’m starting to feel very anxious and torn between wanting to know and not wanting to know 😂😥🤢

I am hoping Totnes tomorrow morning and then London late afternoon ?

Can't quite believe I'm writing this but DD just got a Yes for Eastleigh Year 6.....

 

Guess I'm posting this because I want to say if you get a No,  just keep going....we had a No last year.

 

It's also weird when you get actually get the Yes when you're so completely braced for a no.....it doesn't really sink in...3 hours after reading email and telling DD, I'm still a bit glazed and can't quite bring myself to tell the world yet...

 

Good luck people. What a journey!

 

Congratulations that is wonderful news! Now go tell the world you must be thrilled 🤗 

Good luck everyone let’s hope some results start coming out around 11am 🤞 we are waiting for Totnes.... hoping our results will follow on tomorrow x

Those who are in the associate for Elmhurst - is it only in Birmingham ? Or other centres ? I’ve been trying to investigate ! First time applying for a JA !

Hi Matilda we are down South and our closest Elmhurst associate training is in Plymouth on a Sunday.

We are also waiting for Totnes year 5 🤗

I don’t think my dd wants to be a ballerina at this point she absolutely loves tap modern and musical theatre just as much as ballet she just loves performing, I just thought an associate scheme would help her with her technique and discipline.. it would be an amazing opportunity if she got offered a place x

My eldest dd was offered a year 6 place last year after only starting ballet a year before the audition she is however very petite, my younger dd is just taking her grade 2 rad ballet exam she has auditioned for a year 5 place she is currently 9 she does tick a lot of the boxes apart from her body shape she is tall long legs but she is more of a solid build little belly 😉 

i guess we just have to wait and see...

fingers crossed 🤞 for all of our gorgeous dc x

That does worry me slightly as my dd is of a slightly bigger build she is also tall 😔 she isn’t over weight by any means, but she was definitely one of the biggest girls in her audition.

It was a no for my dd too 😞 x

We are waiting for Bath year 8 🤞good luck to everyone!

MA assessments for Birmingham are on the 2 May.

I can’t see any children being assessed out that would be awful.. I wonder how many spaces these centres actually have after the year 9’s move on, possible 4/5? also they have to offer places to the new year 7’s coming in so for my dd looking for a year 8 space it is probably very unlikely at all 🤔 x

Hope we don’t have to wait a lot longer as one of my DC waiting for MA results for Bath

word is that it’s a very strong class so not sure if they’ll get a position in that class 

paying for private’s if not successful 

Hi mumofdancegirls what year did your dc audition for? I wonder how many places they have available and if they spread it evenly across the years groups, I’ve also heard the places are like gold dust.

Ours came out out on 26th March last year I think Bath centre is the first audition date so perhaps we get ours first 😬

Feels like a very long time since auditions in January!

 

It really does....good luck to all those hard working passionate dc 🤞 shouldn’t be too much longer x

I know one who was at vocational school but also attended RBS MA which meant they had to travel 2.5 hours from London every week to get to their associate centre to then go home! Seemed like madness, especially annoying as if they had declined the place one of the waitlist kids would have had a shot- and at that time I had one sat on the waitlist 

My dd was on the swl last year unfortunately no place came available , it would be her absolute dream to get an MA place this year... It is so precious to those dc that attend state schools and attend regular dance classes locally.

About 10 years ago his ballet teacher told DS that for the panel it's like having a box of delicious biscuits in front of you and you're only allowed to chose 1 or 2. If you're not the one chosen that day it doesn't make you any less delicious, they just can't choose them all!!

(At 18 he was the biscuit everyone wanted and had full funding/scholarships offered from all auditions ……..)

 

Good luck to all the DC

How lovely is that.. I will say that to my youngest dd as she is auditioning for JA’s in May for a year 5 place. she had a fantastic ballet exam result resulting in her teacher suggesting going to the JA audition,  my only worry is .....how do I put this... she is of a (solid build ) and I think this will go against her. My oldest dd was a JA and was very petite.. I think that is a lovely way of putting it to her.. as she loves biscuits too 😉 x

hopefully we will find out about MA results  soon... still hoping for a miracle here 🤞

Congratulations to your dd you must be thrilled ... I’m sure her friends will be happy for her xx

It was a no for my dd too, from Bath year 8. Good luck everyone else 🤞 x

Good luck everyone.. my dd auditioned in Bath on the 16th for a year 8 MA place, we are not holding our breath for finals but still secretly hoping for a miracle 🤞
