Yes you can be flexible without hypermobility.

Tring & Elmhurst both do physio checks... not sure about Hammond? 

Hi, my dd was invited to MDS auditions at Tring & Hammond and in both she had a physio check. X

Congratulations to all who received a “yes”! And commiserations those who received a “no”. Fingers crossed for the SWLs that some more places will materialise 🙏🏻🙏🏻 My DS has thankfully been offered a place for the 3-week course at CG. He’s at vocational school in Berlin, going into his final year after the summer break. Am really hoping it will take place, since due to COVID, he has only gone back to school last week, with the school not offering any online ballet training during all the lockdown months. So a 3-week intensive would be a great way to start his final year.

Well done to your ds, fantastic opportunity to get him ready for his final year!👏👍x

My daughter said there were about 13. Something like 10 going for yr 9 and 3 for year 10.  She was number 2, going for year 9...I think she was the smallest one, in pale blue leotard.  She LOVED it! 

My DD loved it too! Your daughter was right next to my daughter🙂, also for yr9 🙂. X

My DD also received a waiting list🙂. X

Well done to everyone! My dd loved it, was in 11am group (year 9&10), there was one lovely girl auditioning from year 9 group who was chatting with everyone and made it so stress free, my dd loved her! And not to forget that food from canteen smelled great! X

No email either 😥 x

DC's friend was in an older age group later in the afternoon.  Does anyone know how many MDS might be available for years 8 to 10?  

My dd was the very last group, I think numbers went all the way to 60🙈. No idea about how many MDS though 😔

Thank you so much @Mum of unicorn dancer  Good luck to everyone too. I wish our dds could all get MDS places 🙏🤞. It will be very difficult for them to dance with masks...😥

Oh my! That’s really late notice!! 

I know! So worried we will forget something to take with us...Have you managed to hear from them yet @MrsR ? x

Hi, my dd today received invitation to MDS audition year 9 dance course which is on Saturday, so no time to prepare🙈 . Would anybody be able to give me some idea what to expect please? Is it a normal ballet class or also in person interview or should they prepare any own solos? What about a physio screening? So sorry for all the questions🙈 x

Hi @WrapsnBows, we are still waiting for yr 9 entry results...😥 x

@MrsR I was wondering if every year group (my dd is yr 9) is set to be reviewed at a different times? Or maybe if they (depend on the number of applicants) have a very high number of applicants/interest they create more 'auditioning groups'? Totally guessing here🤔 x

We are also waiting to hear from them @CarlymayYear 9 entry though... x🥺

Hi @Ljmk. We had nothing in the post yet and we applied almost a month ago (our deadline was 4th Feb). I just think they are very busy to review so many videos but I am really worried too that heard nothing yet 😥. x

What a fantastic article! Thank you so much @cotes du rhone ! for sharing! x

Thank you @BbcBoy & @MrsR, that's encouraging to know that it's not only us still waiting. X

Thank you @BbcBoy! I think it was 1st Feb. My DD is applying for a year 9 entry so we are aware probably not many places available...😭
