    So according to the website both Spring and Summer 21 will be online again? Though I only got the email saying they won't invoice us yet. Feeling disheartened to see that it would be online from the website , will never get to see White Lodge...

    I feel we are behind everyone else. Just recently submitted RBS (not particular happy with what I submitted either), only done barre for Tring, and Elmhurst will probably be a bit of last minute recycling job with an added polka and random impro. May I ask what people do generally about the solo (i.e. for Tring)? Did your children already have one? Are you using one from syllabus work, or something new with teacher's help? or letting your child choreograph? All the best to everyone going through this. Festive cheers!!!

    oh wow, we have not applied. Are the video requirements much different or can you re-use? I think we are sticking to RBS, Tring, Elmhurst and YDA and then will apply for associates programs such as central school, etc. We got just an offer for a very good academic school, I am almost thinking of just focusing on associates programs. It really is a lot of pressure on the parents for video auditions. Is the Hammond deadline early January as well? all the very best.

    We didn't attend the insight day either, completely missed that it was happening and got the email today about the video requirements for preliminary. Was it a class for the children or more of an information session for the families?
  5. Lara Eschler
    Elmhurst preliminary will also be a video😥

    I also really enjoyed the presentation and it really seems like an amazing school. The academic side also seems outstanding. DS had a ballet zoom in another room so missed most of it unfortunately.

    We have a presentation for white lodge applicants on the 28th next week.

    It seems like the yeses on the forum are mostly boys?

    The course will be fully residential this Spring so that children will be kept in a sort of bubble during the course.

    It is so very stressful, I feel all the pressure is on me...I have thought about just giving up and not apply. Finding it hard to keep ds focused too.
  11. Lara Eschler
    They mentioned they are only giving residential offers so this might limit the numbers of places available as many Londoners would have commuted perhaps.
  12. Lara Eschler
    A yes for DS. Hope it happens as last year cancellations for both Spring and Summer were sort of heartbreaking (they were the events he had most looked forward to).

    We are videoing from home as well. As the deadline has changed, I might procrastinate a little longer.

    I think shoe rules are also becoming more relaxed as now you have the option to choose shoes to match your skin tone. The most important thing is that DC feel comfortable and happy in them.

    Thank you so much for sharing @TwirlyWhirly. I was actually fearing this and was considering going for the second international video deadline so as to have more time. Must be a relief to be done with the video though.

    Hi, my DS is Year 6 in London in an all boys class (so might be different for girls). He wears white split soles and canvas either the SD16 from So Danca or the Hanami from Capezio. Luckily, it has never been mentioned as an issue as he is very particular about his shoes and does not like drawstrings. Before the pandemic they used to take shoes off anyway for some of the foot exercises in class I think. Do you know who your daughter's teacher will be?

    Hi everyone, I emailed the school about the photo requirements for boys: Morning Lara Thank you for your interest in Elmhurst Ballet School. I can confirm that for Year 7 entry, only the 3 male photos are required. It is personal preference, as to bare chest or not. I hope this helps
  18. Lara Eschler
    I was also wondering the same thing especially as the photos required for boys seem very basic for year 7. Was also wondering about the call back? Is that just a physio assessment?
  19. Lara Eschler
    Thanks, definitely confusing as it says practise clothes unless otherwise indicated (so I thought the photos indicate bare chest 🤦‍♀️). We will probably go for white leotard as well and short shorts. Did you do the plié photo as well (as it says ‘All’ at the bottom or just the foot in the tendu in addition to the 3 just standing photos? Thanks again.
  20. Lara Eschler
    I am confused about the photos needed for boys seeking Year 7 entry and do they actually need to be bare chested?
  21. Lara Eschler
    Do you think having turned down the place the previous year could affect future chances? My DS had provisionally accepted YD for year 5 and had started going to the introductory sessions in June of year 4 but then got offered JAs in London (much closer to us) and so we had to turn it down. I had sent a very apologetic email but they never responded. Hopefully, this wont affect future chances as DS truly loved it there.

    Hi, thank you for the heads up. Do you know if they want a video? I just glanced at the website from my phone and they were asking for all the details but I did not proceed as I did not have the photos or video ready.
  23. Lara Eschler
    We had a zoom meeting with all the year 6 boys and I think 1 or 2 were new. As DS has the same teacher as last year I am not sure if the boys were just new to that teacher or to JAs. I think one moved up from the year4-5 mixed class and maybe one was completely new.
  24. Lara Eschler
    My DS is year 6 in Londonand there are only 5 boys in the class this year and they are all year 6. Half of the boys his year are in another small group of 6. Last year there were 16 boys in his class and a mix of year 5 and 6 together. So, yes much smaller groups this year.

    Thanks so much for the tips @Raquelle
