I promised myself I wasn’t getting into the guessing game.....but....surely they must do results by centre and maybe age groups, not yes’s first....otherwise not really fair on children that know others that auditioned at the same time?

Must resist hitting ‘refresh’ on email 😬

Darkbeans- what great news! Did you find out before school or will it be a nice surprise when you see your daughter later?

Oooo do they go one centre a day?? (Tries to work out when London will come!)

Thanks everyone 😊

Hi- I never danced myself as a child so playing catch up on all of this (steep learning curve in last 12months with festivals, Associate auditions etc!) Can anyone tell me what the differences are between contemporary, lyrical and modern? DD (8) is not interested in learning tap but loves ballet and also wants to try modern or contemporary (she doesn’t know the difference either!). Dance school seems to offer ‘lyrical’ to older students 11+ish as an option after their ballet class but no set modern classes - Do younger children not normally do these styles? Thanks!

The email that we had confirming audition time said everyone will get a result mid June but at the audition they said end June/first week July. I hate the wait 🤞

We have London auditions on Friday. Think I’m more nervous than DD.

Hi! Idefinitely recommend you check out a group called Beats On Pointe! https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=41&v=E5qN5yt1RYs They were in London a couple of months ago and their show is ballet/ street mix. It’s basically YOUR story. Others have pointed you in some good directions...check out Instagram too. I think you should definitely look into it more, lovely that you’ve been inspired by the buns tutus and tiaras but there is a thoroughly contemporary ballet scene out there too and dancers are incredible athletes with amazing core strength, flexibility and coordination Enjoy discovering more!
