  1. And masters of using iMovie - did not have idea that it existed couple months ago.... Good luck everyone🤞
  2. Very interesting topic... You probably could get a bit bearing from their associates selections or maybe not at all as this is not only on potential as per se, but as well about facility, coordination, artistry and musicality. Children are changing in time and small growth spurt or the first signs of puberty can completely mixed up everything items balance and flexibility. The trouble this year is that RBS and Tring preliminaries are by video, which might be difficult to demonstrate personality or artistry. It is a big guessing game.... Good luck everyone. 🤞
  3. SWL #6 for my DD, but just wondering if residential vs non-residential had any impact. Congratulations to everyone.
  4. Thank you. It is a journey and at the end of the day it is a love to dance and enjoyment to perform in our case. Obviously, it would be great to had an opportunity to train and practice with the best. Maybe one day... Good luck everyone. Keep 🤞.
  5. My feeling is being known to them i.e., being JA or MA is an advantage, but speaking purely from our not so successful experience being only 3 times SWL for London JA and getting SWL last year for both spring and summer. This year we applied just to gauge what might be her chance for MA and WL and if we even try to apply (considering delayed deadline). I guess no hope here, so expect no this time as much more talented and experienced children applied and would deserve a place.
  6. Thank you. I have checked junk. I know they are very nice as she is doing their CBA classes and did few holiday courses and had no problem with communication in past.
  7. Nothing here - do you think that they will let you know if it is no or not at all (experienced only once after westend audition final). I have sent it on 22nd. Can I check what email address you send it on for dance course? Thank you.
  8. Thank you for re-assurance. Hope they will put us out off misery soon.
  9. I have emailed last week Thursday evening and did not hear too - but I do suspect that she will not pass the screening as she is only Tring CBA and Ballet Boost past 2.5 years and no competitions or festivals
  10. Wow, amazing and interesting. Congratulations on passing screening. I have sent my DD info, but not holding much hope that she will pass screening as only their CBA and BBA past few years and not much experience otherwise (no festivals and competitions).
  11. My DD did pre point excercises online course with ballet physio (Luke) during lockdown for 12 weeks. She has very narrow and bony and tapered feet albeit size 3. Thanks to every day excercises her feet improved a lot. Ballet boutique London (Wimbledon or Kingston) fitted her with Bloch Triumph as her first shoe. They are really good, experienced and have variety of brands. As her feet are getting stronger and shoes will be dead soon after couple months, she might need a different shoe now.
  12. They used to send it via post not email (at least it was last year). It was sent on Tuesday and we received it on Wednesday.
  13. You could change to train from Richmond to St Margerets on SouthWest Train platform 1 (takes 3 min plus 10 min walk) or take H37 direction Hounslow (stop just outside of station) for about 20 min bus ride and 5 min walk
  14. What size you need. I might have 8-10 years old one.
  15. Oh sorry to hear that, but you have a right positive attitude. It is really hard to do audition in limited space and being at mercy your internet upload speed. There might be as well factor of social distancing, so maybe not so many places available. EYB is great. My DD is doing it past 2 weeks as Tchaikovsky Gala - in fact the first live classes 😊 and she really enjoys every moment of that. Hoping for real show next year. Good luck with all dancing adventures and for vocational auditions. 🤞
  16. Congratulations to all yes dancers. My DD as typically as usual is on reserve list (oh yes 🤣 3 years in row on SWL for JA RBS) and now in Elmhurst. I do not expect that the place will become available, so at least she still can continue with her Ballet Boost and CBA.
  17. They prefer it all in one go without interruption unless your device is not able to record all 36 min in one go.
  18. Do not want to add false hope, but SWL acceptance process last year or for Spring or Summer Intensive this year was slightly different. Whether this is due to IT system change (but new was for SI in place already) or due to unknown unknowns... Keep fingers crossed.🤞
  19. Can I check if there is any yes for London or Eastleigh as it looks only SWL for these so far. Could this be due to unclarity regarding social distancing/ changes to zoom classes/ venues opening?
  20. It is SWL for us again (this was a case for year 4 and 5) and summer and spring intensives. Well she will still continue at Tring and Ballet boost.
