Yes girls as well

Here are the timetables for the two lower school days - hope it helps and good luck!

Elmhurst said not to expect any results until after 21st March as that is when their meeting is to discuss places. So I think they’ll all be out at about the same time!

They said we should hear within 2 weeks but don’t chase for 4 weeks (year 7 girls)

...it's a French school. In France. I'd expect all the classes to be in French.

I was just trying to give feedback, as requested, to parents whose 10 year olds may not be fluent in French. We had been advised that all lessons would be taught in English in addition to French. 

Hi, my daughter went last year at the age of 10 (year 5) and was in the junior group. She did enjoy the week, and ballet and folk dance tuition were great. But the additional classes in the junior section in drama and singing were all in French so hard for her to navigate and therefore not as enjoyable. Teaching methods were different to the UK - quite strict and quite hands on. For us, I think that the intensive would be much better as she gets older as there was much more ballet taught - with partnering and pointe - in the older groups. She didn’t want to apply again this year.

I've heard that all of those in WL finals automatically get places for the SI. 

Not the case this year.

Excellent - feel free to message me if you have any questions as my little one also did the same week last year.

My little daughter is in! Oh my god! 

I hope many of you will get the same result!

Which week will she be there? My daughter has a place for week 1. 🥰

Results are out!

I wonder if it will be today???

Yes my DD had a lovely time too - would highly recommend for next year.

Do you think a prepared solo will be required for the second day seeing as we aren't being told about the format of the second day until after the first? It says one won't be needed for the first day but doesn't mention the second.

I really can’t see that this would happen - not all of the children will have a solo and they’d need notice to prepare one, plus music. You could always email Rachal in admissions to check but it would be very mean!!

For those doing finals over two days - do they generally wear the same leotard for both days or different? I know it really makes no difference to the outcome, just wondered!

My DD has finals for a yr 10 place at RBS on Friday and Saturday this week, anyone else out there??

 

Good luck! I hear it was extremely tough to get to finals for year 10, what an amazing achievement already. 😀

That’s great to hear that other people are keen too! My 11 year old has finals coming up all in the same week - 8th and 9th at Elmhurst and 10th and 11th at WL. Anyone else in the same (fortunate) boat? 

Anyone keen to resurrect this thread a bit more as we get closer to finals? I’ve read back on last year’s one and it seemed like such a supportive and helpful group! My DD is applying for a year 7 place. 

Is anyone going to SAB this summer? My 11 year old is heading to the junior week in June… 😃

Eastleigh 😃

Not on the website but it’s on our JA noticeboard: 9th and 10th March!

I wonder what will happen about the apparent clash between Elmhurst and RBS year 7 girls finals this year? I bet lots of children will want to go to both!

My daughter auditioned last Tuesday and they said we’d hear back within 12 working days. Those who auditioned this Tuesday were told 10 working days. 😀

hi everyone

 

does anyone have any tips as to the best way to film the class / excercises required by Elmhurst and other schools for 16+ training

? we have a list of things she needs to perform, but do you just film on your phone and edit, or is there a special / better software that people use? thanks so much.

I’ve just filmed all the sections for audition videos separately on my phone then used iMovie to put them together, also on the phone. Pretty simple and works well! Good luck!

Still keen on the white one if available - if you send me your PayPal details I can transfer. 😃

Should be mid to end of next week I’d say, going on last year. Might be a nice surprise and be sooner. Good luck! 😃
