Northern Ballet Academy Leeds - CAT scheme
PutYourBooteesOn replied to BusyDancemum's topic in Doing Dance
Yes my dd did JA for Royal and northern before moving to JA Royal and northern CAT. as someone else said, we chose to take both places while preparing for possibly going into vocational school. Plus for us, the local classes needed that extra boost. Northern are very accommodating of children fitting their classes around Royal, they were encouraging of it. -
Northern Ballet Academy Leeds - CAT scheme
PutYourBooteesOn replied to BusyDancemum's topic in Doing Dance
In the associates, there were about 30 in the junior class. It was all of them together in normal world. I think this year they're split in two groups for covid reasons. It was a brilliant class, it was big though. The CAT y6 class is 14, and has been split in two all year as well so it's been amazing small groups. But both associates and CAT have had shorter times. -

Northern Ballet Academy Leeds - CAT scheme
PutYourBooteesOn replied to BusyDancemum's topic in Doing Dance
My daughter is a y6 cat after doing JAs and being invited to move to cat. She's loved her time there, though is going to vocational school this year. Miss Cara is especially fabulous but they're all great. It's been a shame they've missed so much this year though... Like everything else! -

Quite a few of the reserves get places, so fingers crossed. It was quite a wait for one of them though. Well into summer. -
Royal Ballet School Junior Associates Homework
PutYourBooteesOn replied to MissEmily's topic in Doing Dance
Everyone’s exercises are "customised”, so the positioning of the leg in x stretch etc and DD got some exercises from the physio specifically for her. They have about 10 now, after starting with about 4. They insisted on a specific theraband (bought from them in the first lesson). We’ve never had written work but there was an expectation of keeping their lesson diary/notes. However this has never been checked/marked. -
Northern Ballet Associates (Leeds) Audition
PutYourBooteesOn replied to Creakingstool's topic in Doing Dance
When we were there, there’s a warm up space available, plus the audition room was open well before the audition but exactly as you say, we just waited in the foyer not stretching! -
We've just had ours. Their teacher said on the first day it's basically a guarantee, unless there's a serious issue, but it's nice to have it confirmed.

Northern Ballet Associates (Leeds) Audition
PutYourBooteesOn replied to Creakingstool's topic in Doing Dance
It's a y5-6 class and there's about 30 of them in the class. Many but not all were new in September. I think there's more y6 than y5. My DD Is in y5 and there's a few of them but it's not 50-50 -

Northern Ballet Associates (Leeds) Audition
PutYourBooteesOn replied to Creakingstool's topic in Doing Dance
Creakingstool - It was a ballet class like RBS, yes, but the group seemed quite a bit bigger than RBS audition. Its all blurred a bit in my head now but i think it was about an hour. there was some just looking at them physically, but less so than with the RBS audition. there was preliminaries and then finals, with about a 3 week wait for the results of that if I remember rightly. -
Thank you. Clarifies the date.... doesn’t clarify the accommodation option as we had said we would do either. We still will, just need to know which, lol.

The CAT open day was brilliant last year.’ They watched company class, miss Cara taught the children in a fantastic class and they had q&a with company dancers. It was a great experience. DD is a JA this year and very keen to join the CAT programme next year now shes old enough.

YBS (Yorkshire Ballet Seminars) Pop ups
PutYourBooteesOn replied to Creakingstool's topic in Doing Dance
My DD aged 9 loved the 2 she’s done so far x -
We both really enjoyed the insight days and it was red class not audition. No numbers and no panel observation etc. DD did it in one venue in y3 and got SWL for y4. She did it in London in y4, shes now a y5 JA at a different centre. We went to London to give her the experience of dancing in the RBS and it was really special to her. The class is welcoming and encouraging & we definitely thought it was a positive experience. .She absolutely loved it. As a now new JA mum, I also quite like that I had the experience too because we’ve not observed any classes since they started but I have an idea of what they’re doing.

Hi! DD is in the same class, I was sat behind you. And hello @Shelovesdance. I’ve also had people say to me they haven’t applied because their child would find it too boring and basic but my DD absolutely loves it. We knew Miss hatton already and love her as a teacher but DD also loved it in the RBS context. She can’t wait for Saturday again.
