    Tring CBA, from my experience, seem to have three letters. The “yes” one; the “not yet one”, and a very nicely worded “no” one (which can later turn into a not yet or a yes!). We had a “not yet” the first time round, followed by a “yes” at the next round of auditions, so the not yet really is a not yet.

    The groups At CBA have had to be made smaller so there will be so few spaces available this time round.

    Dont be disheartened, it’s definitely worth trying again and it’s a brilliant Associates scheme ☺️

     

    It’s all path of the course as far as I’m concerned!

    audidtions...win some, loose some! 

    we got spaces at 2 associates, so really can’t grumble at all! 
    This is our second time of trying for Tring and dd didn’t raise an eyebrow when she said she’ll try again next year! 
    It’s all part of learning and experience ❤️❤️

    My dd was a not yet too. Just wondered how personal the feed back was? 
    we were told her standard of dancing was good and she shows potential for further training but needs to improve ports de bras. Was yours similar? 
    we will try again next summer 


    Our feedback was 

    “correct posture with the pelvis realigned, articulated foot-work and refined port de bras.”

    I would be interested to know if everyone's "no" letters have this same paragraph:

     

    "...we would like to acknowledge that that your dancing was of a good standard and that we still see potential for improvement.  It is for this reason that we feel that with further training, you might be ready at the next opportunity and would therefore like to recommend that you train hard and consider re-auditioning in the future."

     

    Do they say this to everyone? Thank you!

    Yes & with the areas to work on...which I assume are different for each student 🤣🤣

    My DD has been with Ballet Boost for 2 years now and loves it, nurturing, challenging and with 2 assessments a year -with excellent feedback to work with! She even had the opportunity to dance at White lodge with Emma recently,  which was amazing and an opportunity money couldn't buy! I really rate them and the teachers they bring in are fantastic, still working in the industry (performers) and current/relevant. Emma focuses on nurturing the love of ballet and encouraging the individual to grow into and understand their own selves and their own love of dance, whilst really understanding their physicality (They have to study the muscle book). With the added option of Rambert trained contemporay teachers (I highly recommend the contemporary classes). And don't forget they have the ABAs, which they feed into, taught out of Pineapple; smaller focused classes, with excellent teachers once again. AND, to top it off, the Easter and summer courses are amazing, the calibre of guest teachers is second to none! Your DD will do well there I am sure. One other plus is they don't mind you mixing in another associates, you don't find that territorial thing going on at all. Good luck to your DD, hope she continues to enjoy every moment xxxx

    Thanks for the wonderful feedback 

    we certainly know of the reputation ballet boost has and we are looking forward to a productive year there!!

    My sons ballet teacher taught Ballet Boost zoom classes for the older students during lockdown. She told me that all the students were really talented and focused and it’s an amazing programme. I hope your DS really enjoys it! 

    Thank you !!

    and all the best at Tring xx

    That is really good of them and probably explains why the emails are taking a while to trickle out.

     

    Only heard great things about Ballet Boost so saves a tricky decision 🙂 

    First session of ballet boost on Sunday and dd was happy enough !

    Oh no, I'm sorry.

     

    We are expecting a no too, but still nothing through x

    Thanks -good luck for your result xx

     

    we just got the email ....think they are up late plowing through!!!

    to be fair we would have been in a big dilemma as we are already at ballet boost on a sun...was still worth doing the audition though !!

    nice that they offered feedback as well

    The walk from Richmond is easy enough but we found the difficulty with the district line last year was that it was often closed on Sundays for engineering! DS got the train to St Margaret’s instead. 

    Yes we are used to those district line shenanigans as we were at London junior senior !!
