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!

It is lovely inside, the entrance bit where the parents sit has sofas and chairs, I always really enjoy sitting and chatting to the other parents so I miss that. There is one studio with glass and sometimes ours do Jazz in there or older students in there so you get a sneak peak. They usually do watching day once a term where parents go into the studio but I imagine that won't happen for a while either.

Yes we take turns so it will be the boy's Mum taking them next week. I was so glad to get the 10.30 class for a while as it is normally 8.45 meaning we have to get up at 5.30am. 😱 This morning felt like a lie in! There are some good things about this situation! 😂 My DD loved the smaller class sizes too. 0nly 12 in her class and last year it was close to 30.

That is lovely that he felt so at home with the other children. It is such a friendly place. What a lovely name! That made me laugh when you said 'she might be a spamcat' 😂😂. I am spamcat because I had a cat called Spam, who had red hair like me! 😁

@BalletBoysDad yes thank you she really enjoyed it and was soooo happy to be back! Sounds like there were a lot of new girls in her class. Glad your son enjoyed it too. I also bring my DDs friend who is a boy and he said there were a few new boys in his class, yes you can pretty much tell the newbies by the lack of tracksuit! I had to run from one door to the other to pick up my DD and her friend at the same time at two different ends of the building.

Did everyone enjoy their first day at Elmhurst? I expect I was stood right next to some of you and I wanted to say 'are any of you @BellaF or @BalletBoysDad etc but I thought I might seem a bit weird! 😂 My DD said that in her class it was only her and a couple of other girls wearing the 'puke' canvas shoes and everyone else was in satin ones. She really hates those shoes and they are like boats on her feet, last year it was satin.

@PurplePirouette and I said I wouldn't come back on here and drive myself crazy this year, but here I am! 🙈 @Balletbuds80 that is so funny! 😂 Good luck to both of you. Xx

Good to know group 3 emails are out, we are waiting for group 4 so I guess it will be a couple more weeks for us and then a very long wait for results. @PurplePirouette we also got a no last year so thinking the same but you never know! 😀

@Whiteduvet We are Birmingham and they were meant to start last Saturday but it was cancelled due to staff levels but we've just had an email saying they are starting this Saturday. 🙂 I don't know about Manchester sorry. Xx
-
Yay! Just had email to say Elmhurst is on this Saturday 😀
-
Sorry don't know about yr4. Yr5 is split into 2 classes at 8.45 and 10.30 so I'm pretty sure yours will be similar times.
-
Moseley looks good, a few cafés etc. Is there parking in Moseley because Google says it's a 35 minute walk away?
-
Oh that is a shame, it is such a lovely place to sit and have a coffee and chat with the other parents. Oh well we can still do that after the restrictions have ended! There is always a Lidl supermarket, you could do your shopping to kill the boredom! 😂
-
We will have to kick 2 of our kids out then. 😂😂 So glad this is not meaning that dance classes have to stop again!
-
We usually walk to 'The Mac' for a coffee and they also do breakfast, cake etc, it is a local art centre and I'm really hoping it will be open. There is nowhere else walkable that I know of.
-
Yes it is a white belt on a royal blue leotard. Xx
-
I was thinking exactly that as we are a family of 8 so would not be allowed to see anyone! 😂
-
Wow that is some fast work! 😀
-
Year 4 and 5 are not together in Birmingham. They are in separate classes. Congratulations to your DD @SarahG1881 that is a quick result!
-
My DD is exactly the same! It is like her legs have suddenly caught up. 😂
-
Yes I'd had the same thoughts. I really hope they haven't already ruled some out by photos, I hadn't thought of that. (Checking photos again!). My DDs legs have had a growth spurt since the pictures and her plie is also much better after lots of practise. Surely they have to at least consider everyone's videos? We'll never know but I'm sure due to the different audition process there wil be some kids who get in, who otherwise wouldn't have and visa versa. I hope they at least watch past the 'standing still listening' bit! 😂
-
Oh good to know, thanks. Grp 4 will be a while yet then! Let us know when you get yours. 😁
-
Oh ok so quite a small amount watched. I guess they can tell quite quickly whether it's a yes, no or maybe. 🤷♀️ Will be interesting to see if it is watched again, maybe they narrow it down and then watch some again to decide! 🤔
-
@MissEmily how long were each of the videos?
-
Which group are you from? We are group 4 and still waiting for the audition email. Good luck all!
