It’s all so different! I’m not sure how to read any of it except that there are different people doing the viewings?? We’ve had the first two viewed 100% and 59% for part three but all only once. I can’t decide if that’s because they discounted her or loved her... or neither. Just hope we get the results this next month!

I think you can only do so if you uploaded via YouTube. If so, go to your videos section and then look at the “analytics”. It can be a bit slow to catch up - takes c24 hours after the view to load details of how long they were viewed for etc. And a little clunky (mine changed its mind and decided part 1 had actually been viewed for 10 minutes, not 5 🤦‍♀️). It’s vaguely nice to know, but now I’m driving myself nuts with what did it all mean - they watched all of part 1 and all of part 2 but only 55% of part 3 - was that because she was a definite no by then, or a yes, or neither 🤣😬 so don’t worry if you can’t get the analytics, you might be saving yourself some crazy 😝

I had no idea it was that small - we have 2 JEP in our ballet school (Y4 & Y5 London) so assumed it was quite a big cohort 😳

I’m sure they’ll watch your videos. And they never discounted from photos when the auditions were in person. Ours were only viewed yesterday. What age and centre? I think they’d work through them in groups and from eldest to youngest 😊

Possible then that this time they might be watching them in a v set way. Ours were watched yesterday. Part 1 for just under 5 minutes, Part 2 for 9 minutes, and Part 3 for 7 1/2 minutes. Glad they’ve been viewed and really watched well. Now to forget about it until I get an email.... ha!

We are. London Y4

Still no views here either - London Y4. Wonder if it’ll take longer cause they’re just so very many of them

We’re London, Y4. One view for 1 second yesterday 🤷🏼‍♀️ Reckon it was just checking it worked.... or an accident 🤣

Thank you!

Thank you!

What’s Central?

That’s amazing. Well done to her. MAs is so tough to get into!

Thanks so much. That’s really helpful. I had thought they’d finished WL as I’d seen so many places being announced but if they haven’t finished WL & Mids then it makes total sense

Nope. April is definitely not happening. We’re Y4 for a Y5 entry. I wonder if they’re doing the Y6 first again? Anyone got a Y5 child looking at Y6 entry?

Anyone had their videos viewed yet? I’m not hopeful for April as we haven’t even had a single video accessed

No. We used it last year. No way to see views that I found. Used YouTube this year for that reason! I find the website really confusing on whether there will be second in person auditions. At one point it says all those who submit will be invited to another audition. In another, it says they might invite some to in person auditions if the situation allows. I guess some of the website is out of date 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m going to try and forget about it abs just roll with whatever happens. My DD will likely do better in person tv off she gets that chance

Thank you.

Does anyone know whether if you apply to “London 32 weeks” and “London 25 weeks” that would be like applying to two different centres and gives my LO more chance or whether as it’s London and London, it still only acts as one choice?

Thanks for the info everyone. I’d always assumed it was too far but will look at it properly.

For those of you who do Elmhurst, how far do you travel for it? Is it only in Birmingham and only for more local children?

So excited for you and your DD. Huge congratulations 🥳

We did but our friend didn’t. So not all bad news!

No here as well. Makes me think the yes lot aren’t out yet. Fingers crossed all

That’s got to be a positive thing! Good luck!!

From what they said at the insight session, it purely depends on how many JAs they already have from previous years - they don’t ask those already in the programme to leave so the number of spaces is dependent on the number of Y6s that have left. They then give preference to the Y6 over Y5, Y5 over Y4, and Y4 over Y3 (or those that were when we applied so many moons ago!!)
