Oh that is good, I thought you meant it stopped half way through a video, that would be a nightmare! 😬
-
Thanks that is really helpful. I am thinking I may borrow a TV and do that using our firestick. Me and technology just don't mix! Did you start again or did you send it in with the interruptions on the video? I just know something is going to go wrong, our Internet is so bad! 🙈
-
@Ballerinamum thanks. 🙂 I agonised over whether to watch some of it first (obviously I will not let my DD see it), in the end I decided to test it as I know how many problems I have with technology! We have ordered some plug in speakers as it is so quiet on the laptop. Our TV is also in an unsuitable place.
-
I tried a Bluetooth speaker but that gives it a 2/3 second lag which is no good. 🙉
-
So is that just the 1 yes from Group 1?! 😲 Sounds like it is harder than ever to get in this year. Amazing result @Millicent!! We are group 4 so not even done the video yet. Did anyone else have sound issues on the video? I checked it yesterday and can hardly hear it.
-
Congratulations!!! 🤩
-
That is great to have swl! Means a longer wait though. Sounds like they did nos first then swl, so we should get some yeses soon! 🤞
-
Sorry to all those getting a no, at least the agonising wait is over. Try again next year! There must be some yeses coming soon?
-
Yes we had our group 4 email and the deadline is mid October. Think it was 19th.
-
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! 😂
-
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. 😂
-
Still no audition email for us, group 4 Birmingham. Is everyone else in group 4 still waiting? I keep thinking I've missed the email.
-
I will be taking them this week so do say hi if you see me, I have red hair and I'm usually dressed in some sort of tie dye. 😂 Yes my DD said the teacher is much stricter than the teacher they had last year but she likes that. She said the class is 12 and she thinks 6 old and 6 new.
-
@Astrid hello! 😊 Our class is about 6 girls from last year and 6 yr5 newbies according to Bree. Still doesn't add up to the number of girls there were last year though does it? So we assumed some girls had left. But it sounds like some must be in with year 4 according to what people have said on here.
-
Sounds like is is not as straightforward as I thought!
-
My DD was originally in this group: Year Group 5 Class - Blue Time - 08.45 - 10.00 But swapped with 10.30 purple. They must have put some yr 5s in with the yr 4s too. That would explain why my DD thought some had left.
-
Maybe some yr5s have been kept down to catch up? 🤔
-
Which group colour is she? It just doesn't make sense because the yr5s are in my DDs class which is split in half and not mixed with yr4s. @Astrid there aren't any yr4s in your half of the class are there?
-
They must have mixed yr4 boys and girls this year then, maybe there wasn't enough boys for them to have their own class? The bit about having older ones in the group is odd though. I did hear someone say her new yr5 was offered a yr4 place until she was up to speed so there could be more doung that. I know for definite that my DDs yr5 class is only yr 5 girls (10.30 purple) and the other half of her class is all girls (8.45 blue) and her friend (boy) is in a 10.30 class of only boys. My DD was originally in blue group and swapped with a girl in purple.

I have a brand new age 8-10 royal blue Elmhurst YD leotard for sale for exactly what I paid for it (£17) if anyone is interested? It was just tried on once but was too small, it still has the tag. Currently out if stock on website. Tag says 8-10 but I would say 8-9, would be too small for most 10 yr olds. Free postage.

Year 4 and 5 girls are not mixed. I'm not sure about boys but they don't usually mix them. Last year there was about 20 something girls and 8-10 boys in yr 4 (boys and girls separate). This yr my DDs class has been split in half with 12 in her class, so about 24 girls. Her friend who is a boy (also yr5) said there is about 10 in his class. They both said some had left and some new yr5s had started. So yr group size for yr5 seems to be about 34; 24 girls and 10 boys.

Thanks for all the info, I only just discovered EYB but it looks like there will be no auditions for a long time as they are doing all the postponed classes this year. Fingers crossed this all goes ahead with all these new lockdowns. My DD started back at Elmhurst last week after 6 months break. I think I will book Tring, it sounds great to try all the different styles of dance. I see they have the two dates for the same course and also one in Easter. Paris sounds amazing!
-
@RachH is that the course from 1st - 5th August with different styles of dance? I was looking at the website earlier thinking that sounded good and wondering whether to go with that one or the Rad London one. (Sorry off topic!) Good luck to everyone waiting for results 🤞🤞
-
I just heard my notifications pinging away and I thought some results were in! Can't be long for grp1 now. Good luck all. We are group 4 and still waiting for the audition video!
