Hi, my daughter is having a clear out of her leotards, Degas, Grishko and Claudia Dean and SAB skirts Age 10-11. I've just listed them all on eBay if anyone is interested just search Degas leotard and you'll find them.

Well I don’t see why not! Or even OJA’s 😆 😉

It is so lovely that they are doing this for wait list children so it isn't all or nothing. My daughter is actually really excited about the online classes. So pleased!

Huge congratulations to everyone who got yes or online. Xx

Hi 👋🏼 those who got SWL did your email say ‘junior engagement programme’ or ‘junior online associates’.  I’ve seen lots of mentions of JEP I’m just wondering if they are offering 2 different online programmes.  Last year we did JEP but this year it says ‘new junior online associates’ TIA.

Yes ours said new online Junior Associates too. Does this mean they can call themselves JAs (albeit online ones) 😂☺

Deadline for accepting yes for London is 28 June. 🤞🤞

Oh not long then. I can't imagine many get I off the wait list but you never know!! 🤞🤞 The wait goes on 😂😂

I wonder what the chances are of getting in off the SWL this year? I imagine if they gave out less places than normal there won't be much movement. Does anyone know when the deadline for accepting yeses is? Which I guess would be the last chance of any movement. 🤔

Congratulations to everyone with Yeses and SWL.

We got SWL and offer of online classes for yr6 Birmingham. 3rd year of trying for my DD and I'm just so happy it is not another No! 😀😀

I haven’t heard of them doing this but I am fairly new to all this. I can only imagine it is like being on the short waiting list. They will see what places are accepted and then call back anyone they were interested in and give out any remaining places. Xx

I thought it might be something like that, just never known them do it before. Sounds hopeful then 🤞🤞

Congratulations to everyone who got a yes. My DD is in yr5 there and absolutely loves it!

A friend of mine who's DD auditioned for YD year 4 has been asked to come back for a second audition in 2 weeks time. Never known them do this before. Has anyone else had this?

My yr5 DDs birthday is in August so she couldn't apply which I found very unfair, it should go by school year. 😢

Congratulations to all those with WL and Yeses anyway. 🥳

I still haven't heard a thing since accepting the place. Has anyone else heard anything? Xx

Just been informed that the course has been cancelled. No surprise there. Does anyone know of an online course running that week? 6th- 9th.

Yorkshire ballet seminars have a 3 day online course from 14th-16th. I've just booked DD on.

Is Malvern definitely running? Our other Easter ballet course has been rearranged to a time we can't make so considering this...

We are still waiting to hear.

I really hate to have to say this but, whilst Vocational Dance schools might be opening tomorrow, there’s no sign of recreational dance schools opening yet, so how can Easter courses go ahead! 
Just saying 🥺

I did think it would be impossible and was very surprised to hear RBS is running. But if RBS are allowed to do it then they all should be able to. Maybe it is classed as education? 🤷‍♀️ Tring said residential was against the rules.

Fingers crossed. Tring have cancelled their Easter course and seemed to think residential is not allowed. Does anyone know of any Easter courses definitely going ahead as residential?

Just now, RachH said:

@SpamcatOf course - will do 😀

Thank you xx

I had an email last night to say that they were still liaising with Uppingham School as to whether it could run or not and they’d let us know ASAP.

@RachH thank you. I think I'm probably not on the mailing list as she is not officially booked in yet. Would you mind letting me know if you hear either way? Thanks so much and fingers crossed! 🤞 😊 xx

Hi, has anyone heard anything yet? I emailed an application form on Saturday but Olivia said to hang fire until after they had decided if it will run. Xx

I got an email to thank me for sending the acceptance forms (which were emailed). I think they've been having a bit of a mare with emails though and some of mine have bounced back. X 

Thanks. I'm sure they haven't received mine because I sent them straight away and then a week later sent another email asking if they had been received and still had no reply but the lady I spoke too didn't seem concerned and just said 'I will certainly be in touch if i havn't' so I can't exactly contact them again. But she thought I was someone else's mum and I couldn't explain properly so I am a bit concerned. I paid the deposit with her name reference though so they should see that I hope. Xx

@WrapsnBows thank you, I just decided to ring to explain the mix up and she said email was fine but she didn't think she had received it. She said she would certainly be in touch if she hadn't. Slightly confused after that call but I guess after paying the deposit and a call I needn't worry. 😄

I emailed the acceptance forms (by reply email) to Miss Lewis and not heard anything back and now reading the form again I'm worried I was meant to post them to Kent office by Friday's deadline. Does anyone know if I should have posted them and would you normally get a confirmation of receipt?

@Raquelle where did you return yours to?

Thanks x

@Spamcat - which EYB is your daughter doing? Mine is doing Swan Lake in Bromley in July (rescheduled from last summer) and also wants to audition for Nutcracker in Crawley in November!

She is doing Cinderella in Hollywood in Cardiff in August, just auditioned and got accepted this month. Never done it before so very exciting! She would love to do Nutcracker too but Crawley is too far for us realistically. Although tempting!

@Spamcat i would let her do as many summer schools as you can afford. They make friends for life 

Thanks @Canary. Do you find they come home exhausted or do you think it would be doable to do 2 courses with only one day off inbetween? This is Easter but we have the same problem in summer because she's doing English youth ballet and malvern starts the day after it finishes! She's so keen but I don't want to overdo it.

Do you have to submit photos or audition for this?

No audition. On application it looks like just one photo is required.

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?

My 9yr old DD really wants to do this Malvern course now because she has a couple of friends doing it but I only heard about it after I'd booked Tring. Now she wants to do both (there is one day off between the two) but not sure if that would be too tiring.

Has anyone heard whether Easter courses are going ahead after yesterday's announcement? My DD is booked in at Tring.
