Felicity

My 14 year old DD also got a waitlist place. But I have no idea when for?! I ticked the box but didn’t write the date down cause I thought there was no chance of her getting it!! 😂

Yes it is!

she does also travel around as well as virtual fittings.

she now fits all my students too, would not recommend anyone else!

Not Bob Martin but we have found an amazing pointeshoe fitter and she customises too.

She is ‘straighttothepointeballet’ you can find her on Instagram or Facebook.

Best fitter I have found to date and so knowledgeable and passionate about pointe work! Hope that helps

Does anyone know if Bob Martin is still custom making pointe shoes? And if so how do I get hold of him.

If not is there anyone similar about these days?

My dd waitlisted for tring mds but will accept elmhurst so hopefully that allows someone else on the wait list a chance for these mds places being returned. Fingers crossed more of your dc get their wish xxx

Thank you, Have you advised Tring to take you off the waitlist? It might speed the process up for others.

Great news on Elmhurst! She is a very lucky girl! I hope her dreams come true! Xxx

My dd did, & was offered mds.

Starlight69 by any chance did your letter tell you of how many MDS were given out? I have only heard of you and one other! 

Did you do Elmhurst or Hammond? How did you get on there?

How many others are still waiting on Hammond and Elmhurst?

My dd has been awarded a mds for year 7 - she was  kept to see the physio... Very proud parents ❤️ 

Wow big congratulations!

We are on waitlist too! We didn’t get called back for physio.

So fingers crossed a place comes up!

Well done tutu girl! We are out at the moment but I’m itching to get home now! 

What day was your audition? 

Tutu girl, my daughter was in the same as yours then as we were first thing too! 

We didnt audition for Hammond at all, just felt it was a bit too far for us. She did audition for Elmhurst but no call back. I’m guessing you are doing these ones? Good luck and let me know how Tring goes for you! 

Timeflies, 2 people above have stated they got offered mds awards but were sent away and not seen for physio so it does happen. I know it happens at WL too as it happened to my friends daughter. So I’m still keeping fingers crossed!

Eeek....we were there today but not kept for physio, my daughter went away very disappointed. Almost tears in her eyes. I told her it doesn’t mean anything and not to read into it! Now it’s the waiting game! Tutu girl I believe they said they would sit down at the end of the day and make their decisions and try to get letters out ASAP. Fingers crossed for everyone!

Thanks Busymum that’s good to hear!

Valentina that’s really useful thank you! 

Im guessing if they keep you for physio then it probably means they are interested but if sent away then it probably means unsuccessful with scholarship? 

I will call the school. Thank you for your advice 

My daughter has been invited back for the scholarship audition this Monday. Does anyone know the format of the day? Does anyone talk to us? Do we get a chance to ask questions etc?

My husband hasn’t yet seen the school, is there another chance to look around? 

I understand the kids have a ballet class and physio assessment.

If anyone has been through the process it would be great to hear!
