Is there anyone without a view yet? We submitted ours and got a test view the following morning and then a proper (or half) a view the 3 days later (excluding the weekend). 

We’ve only had a test view about a week ago so don’t think we’ll be hearing any time soon.

Just submitted our application! I forgot how time consuming it is, from filming to uploading, it has nearly taken me all day 😂 

Still only one 40 second view for us! The suspense is driving me mad 😆

We also had a second view yesterday but ours wasn't for as long as the first view! I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad sign. Wish I hadn't checked 😂

We had first view yesterday only 40 seconds 😳

Hi new to this group, have anyone heard from NB ? 

 

No.  Our video hasn’t been viewed yet.

Does anyone know if the Easter course is going ahead?

Hi......my dd did CAT when she was Yr 6 (now at Elmhurst). She really enjoyed it and got a lot from it....it made her physically stronger ready for auditions. Just be prepared for spending a lot of time in Leeds!!! We just couldn't sustain it as a family so applied for vocational school.

My year 8 daughter does CAT but only started last year and yes the time spent in Leeds is a lot! She’s really Missed out as the hours were halved when they could attend and then mostly have been zoom but she absolutely loves it.  My younger daughter also wants to to CAT but is only year 4 so too young yet but might try for associates.

Thanks for your reply @Raquelle- I also emailed Malvern and have already received a lovely reassuring response. I’ve signed her up! Anyone else going?

Do you have to submit photos or audition for this?

Is it the same cost for the JEP as JAs? 

Not sure.  JEP is only for 10 sessions, fortnightly and I think JA lessons are 2 hours so longer than JEP.

I think there’s 18 in my daughters class and I know there is another group aswell, not sure how many are in that or if there are more than 2 groups.  The class is an hour and 10 and I’m sure is very similar to the JA class as my older daughter used to do JA’s.  They get homework to do and exercises to practice, it is very good just a shame it’s by zoom.

Hi yes they do have to audition again my daughter does the JEP.

Hi does anyone know when the results for the summer intensive are expected?  We just applied.  TIA

My daughter does the JEP it started in January and was offered to those on SWL for JA’s, it’s 10 sessions fornightly on a Saturday morning, classes are 1 hour 10 minutes and they do have to reaudition for JA’s for next year.

Has anyone from any group got a place from the waiting list yet?

Sorry to the not yets.

Short wait list for my daughter for Leeds 😊 

We’re Leeds and ours haven’t been viewed yet.

Just saw the email! 2 minutes after I’d order the shrug and long sleeved leotard 🙄 😂 

Hi is this for Northern Ballet? My daughter is starting CAT in September and this will be her first summer school. 

Northern Ballet Leeds not cancelled yet 🤞 

My daughter and her friend were also offered a place off reserves last year so fingers crossed for you 🤞 x

It might be worth calling them for a chat. I felt quite reassured after the open day that although they want 100% commitment, they also take ‘real life’ into account and also that they support with the academic school’s understanding of possible need to leave school early etc. 

I will do thank you for your reply 😊

My daughter is older so is there Monday, Wednesday , Thursday and Saturday. I’m led to believe the level ones would be Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, roughly 4.45-7.45 week nights and Saturdays my DD does 10.45-6 . They also have to attend school holidays , and they actually start in the summer holidays not in September! It’s definitely long hours and a huge commitment as my daughter left her dance school to concentrate on CAT but she absolutely loves every minute of it ! 

DD is 11 year 7 at the moment and we are Hull so not sure if it would be doable. Thank you so much for your reply x
