We also got our expected no! Did everyone with a no email have this paragraph? 

 

“And though we are unfortunately unable to offer (name) a place this year, we felt they worked well with the class provided and would be interested in seeing them next year after another year with their current teacher.”

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

mine were watched again yesterday! (monday 5th) but not sure how much of each video!

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

How many children do they take for each group? This is the first time I’ve applied for my daughter. 

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!!)

No - group 1, but just thinking about when it would all likely be sorted given the delays on group 1 and then maybe wanting to see the standard across the board before decisions are made

Sorry - realised this wasn’t to me 🤣

Hi Ballerinamum. Are you Group 2?

 

No - group 1, but just thinking about when it would all likely be sorted given the delays on group 1 and then maybe wanting to see the standard across the board before decisions are made

When are the other groups due?

Results update for group 1 - stand down team until the end of next week! 😬

 

(Yes I emailed back, all the while worrying that by being annoying I might be reducing DD's chances! and got this lovely response)

 

Hello Rachael,

 

Thank you for your message.

 

We are still finalising the results for the London group, but we hope to have those out to everyone by the end of next week.

 

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

 

Many thanks,

Kim

 

 

Thank you. So helpful to know. I suspect it’s super difficult to whittle it down. Harder than a class with more excuse to revisit and rethink the decisions. 
 

@TiredtoesI can’t tell if ours have been watched as we uploaded on google drive. Think I prefer not knowing. 

I thought exactly the same thing. It also slightly contradicts the email to @RachH which suggested that each group was an independent entity and wouldn’t have to await the others being submitted. That said, also glad I can forget about it for the rest of the week!

We've actually got a really great space to do it, DD does some zoom ballet classes at home but it is always lagging and cutting out and things don't stream well. (The floor is tiled though, I never knew that was bad? 😬). I just don't understand whether or not I'm allowed to download the video if I delete it after. I could ask to use the hall, but I don't think that has Internet either. We really do live in the middle of nowhere! 😂

Is just download it and delete it afterwards - I think that’s allowed and they wouldn’t know anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

Got our group 4 email! I am confused because it says at the top not to save the videos onto your device then at the end it says videos must be deleted if you downloaded them. Our Internet connection is so dodgy because we live in the middle of nowhere but I'm not sure if I can download them or not. 🤔

Also it says no tiled floors and the entire of our house has tiled floors. 😂

We were ok but a friend without a suitable place in their house hired a studio space to do it. They checked with the audition team who said that was allowed

Me three

Fingers crossed it’s today for you all 🩰

So group 1, should be this week...

 

Anyone think it will be tomorrow?

 

However keen I am find out one way or another, there is something nice about this time of not having had a no yet! Anyone else?

Fingers crossed indeed. 
 

@RachHI think I was more in the camp of waiting is fine.... but now I know it’s supposed to be imminent I’m too expectant and I’d prefer to just no rather than wonder if it’s THE email every time me email goes.... fingers crossed we hear soon no matter the outcome. And good luck to all you little ones

Hi. We’re group 4 so no info yet but is a lot of space needed for the improv section or are they to do it on knees/on the spot? 
thinking ahead for the best place to film

On their knees. You don’t need much space, just enough for them to lie down and you to get them all in shot.

Thanks!

I think they all found it weird and difficult to react and dance like in a normal class. I guess we just wait and see. It was a good experience at least.
 

 @MamaFrostywhat other auditions might you look at? I’m v green and don’t know about much!

We’re group 1 and nothing here - also expecting a no but it’d be nice to know for sure! Can’t imagine how busy they must be though so I’m trying to be patient! 

Thanks! Me too

I’ve been trying not to count the weeks but I’ve given up and come searching - we were group 1 London - anyone heard yet?

i do think I must be pretty impossible for them with thousands of videos and not seeing anyone in person plus loads of children with potential and so few slots. So I’m expecting a no.... but I’d just like to know!

 Thanks!
