Last years finals everyone saw the pyshio, it was part of their 2 days. My DD said they made them do a few movements, nothing out the ordinary, i think it's to make sure there is nothing glaringly obvious that will impede their training.

My DD wasn't a JA either, she's now at WL. Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply! So it’s nothing too in depth with the physio then. Congrats to your DD, is she enjoying it? X 

Hi, my DD has a final audition at white lodge, she isn’t a JA so I was just wondering what type of things they are looking for in the physio assessment? Do you think all of them will see the physio or just those that they want to call back? Xx

For Elmhurst,  to apply to the extended young dancers or equivalent to mid associates, we would have to do a separate application , right? Or do they sometimes offer it to children who attended the year 7 audition? 

I’m really not sure how the extended young dancers will work either! I don’t know whether there will be a separate application for it or whether they’ll choose from the school applications 🤷‍♀️ X x 

Just a thought, when we filled the application in for rbs and had to tick for MAs too, there was no mention of what MA centre was the preference, do they just allocate from your address and the nearest to you if you’re successful? X

All about well being I would imagine. Why do they want to go there? What they will gain from it? Will they miss home? Blah blah. Basically practise your answers so they don’t blurt out something totally embarrassing 🤣🤣🤣

Yes this is why I wanted to know a bit about it so we can prepare 🤣🤣

Before the RBS finals they have to have a pastoral interview over zoom. Does anyone know what this is about, what kind of questions they’ll ask or anything? XX

Do you think that those who only applied for MA's would be at a big disadvantage? 

I’m not sure. I don’t know how they decide but I know a few people were saying that they like the MAs to have applied to the school. In all honesty I think some people may tick the school just as a long shot but really just want MAs. I’m sure in the end it’ll just come down to who fits best x 

It’s a no for my DD but we had a yes for rbs so she’s not too disappointed. Congrats to everyone xx

It’s all rather confusing, isn’t it? I’d have thought they’d have invited potential students to the audition too even if they only applied for mids. I don’t think there’s a separate finals planned for mids, is there? 

No I believe they decide mids from the videos / finals but it would seem strange if they chose from the vids and not from who they invite to finals, if that makes sense. Also the JAs had a separate audition for MAs or at least that was what was planned, I read it on another thread x

Congratutions to your DC, Asta. How lovely! 👏

 

Fingers crossed 🤞 the rest of the results will follow soon. 

We know they’re there now and sending out results so it looks good for the yr 7 results sometime soon 🤞

For RB? That’s what I thought but I know someone who got a no for WL but told MA results will be expected later on so they are still waiting. 

Yeah RB, It’s strange how they would decide for MAs seeing some and not others. It’s hard to figure out how they would do it lol! Surely those that got finals would be their first pick for the MAs? X 

Just now, Dancermom said:

So if there’s 90 then in theory all the MAs will be chosen from the finals too do you think? X

Unless of course some didn’t apply for the school only MAs x

It will be a limit of 15 in each group. I think a group in morning then a group in afternoon. So 90 in total over the three days for girls .

So if there’s 90 then in theory all the MAs will be chosen from the finals too do you think? X

Hello. Just a few minutes ago we got an email from Elmhurst. My DD is offered a final audition!

 

Wow! Congrats x

Last year when my dd was at finals there was about 70 at rbs and 60 at Elmhurst....she says. Hard to judge as we basically had to leave them for the Elmhurst one.....not allowed in building as covid was on its way. But dd was number 20 something in the first group at rbs finals, and there were 3 groups

Wow ok! Thank you! This year at royal we are not allowed in with them and they are only there for half a day going in to dance in ‘very small groups’ but I guess it will be over the 3 days so that sounds about right x

Would anyone know how many rbs and elmhurst take through to finals? X

If Tring and RB can send out results then no reason why Elmhurst should make us wait another week!!  Its torture..

I think it may be after the 21st like they originally said on the email 🤷‍♀️ I was hoping for earlier but I can’t see it being this week now x

Same here. I thought we may have had it today xx

I don’t know why but I’m thinking it might be next week now. Although I wasn’t expecting the royal one, I was totally taken aback when I was faced with it! X

Here’s hoping guys! I’m taking the kids out to the park this morning to try and take my mind off constantly checking 🙈

Yes it’s definitely better to keep busy! X

Yes. I think we’ll have at least one of the results this week if not both xx

I do hope so 🤞x

Morning everyone! Are we back on the email refreshing today do we think?! x

Yes definitely, I enjoyed the break at the weekend I have to say!

I think they should just send emails will the subject title ✅ or 😞 so we know immediately!

Now that’s a good idea haha x

Elmhurst often put letters in the post last thing as school holidays start, so don’t lose hope yet! Small envelope for a no, big one for a yes (although that might be finals results rather than prelims). Good luck everyone!

Yes I did wonder whether they may have posted out letters. The post isn’t great at the moment though is it! X

Bit of a disappointment as I expected to hear from either rbs or elmhurst before half term. I do think it’s possible we could still hear this week though 🤞 either way it’s getting closer to hearing and we will all know soon enough! X
