  1. Yes thanls but I only knew when I checked their website last week. I didn't receive an email about it, if there was one.
  2. Thankyou... I didn't get a confirmation email either but I did ring and then said they had received her application, she's younger than 11 but they said still apply, so I think even if does go ahead then it's probably unlikely that she will be offered a place but got to be in it to win it lol 😁
  3. Hi I didn't get an email about summer school at all... we applied quite late first week in March, wondering if I should have received an email now? 🤔
  4. Thankyou... I was told she doesn't have "banana" feet and after some research of pics of high insteps and arches, she does not have these type of feet. I want to support her to follow her dreams but worried it's hurdle that she simply can't do anything about. She has long Achilles and a very deep plie, her feet are strong and she can make a bridge when she's doing her doming excercises but I don't know if that's enough. I don't have a dance background so it's all a bit tricky for me lol
  5. Hi Another question from a newbie dance mum 😂... Ballet feet, my research tells me that high arches (banana feet) are desirable, so when it comes to vocational schools is this a 100% must? Or do dancers get in with nice but strong feet but not necessarily very high arched. Just trying to manage DDs expectations lol
  6. Another question... 😊 does everyone who applies to Elmhurst preliminarys get an audition? Same as RBS? Or do Elmhurst invite after seeing photos?
  7. Oh that's good! She's got one side completely flat, the other nearly and box isn't too bad but not completely down...don't want her stressing over it as she dances beautifully (I'm biased haha) , rather she be happy with that 😊
  8. Wow congratulations to your daughter 😊 and thankyou that's really good to know x
  9. Thankyou, is it important they are able to get flat down in splits both legs and box splits? DD can do one leg flat, the other almost there but box is more of a challenge! Lol
  10. Hi Looking for experience please, would someone be kind enough to tell me what generally happens at the first auditions for Year 7 RBS and Elmhurst please. Things like do they need to do splits both types front and box, froggies, improvisation etc that sort of thing... do they take their shoes off etc. All this is new to us and I'm on a fact finding mission 😂 thanks in advance 😊
  11. Yeah that's alot of travelling but going to Covent garden.. wow! DD is doing the Covent garden workshop and can't wait haha
  12. Oh but we are very fortunate that we don't have to travel far.. 5 miles or so. I can see why 24 would work well if you having to travel a long distance. From the point of view of DD participating in 32 she's enjoyed it and found it ok.
  13. Hi we do the 32 (that was the only choice haha) and our DD has found it fine, no problems 😚
  14. Ahh fantastic news, congratulations! I'm sure he will have a fab time and SWL JAs is brilliant too 😊 I'm sure he doesn't need to worry. x
  15. Wow your daughter is doing brilliantly! Thankyou for the words of encouragement. I think it's naivety on my part, not knowing anything about anything haha. I think because it was a straight no for my DD It got me thinking... we would have been over the moon with a waiting list 😊, we are learning to roll with it in the Baller world 😂, quite a learning curve lol x
  16. Sorry just seen this 🙈 yes she is and she absolutely loves it, her teacher is amazing and lovely, DD really likes her 😍, how about your DS is he in a mixed class?
  17. Yes you are right, it is incredible we feel absoloutley privileged that DD has the chance to be a JA. I just find it a bit confusing at times 😜 xx
  18. Thankyou, my DD is also new to Year 5 JA and also was too young for spring as she's not 10 until May ...she got a straight No, not wait list has made us very inexperienced RBS parents a bit unsure of everything x
  19. We also got a no and DD is a JA, so wondering where that leaves us on our JA journey? We are new to all this and find it so confusing at times...so a no for SS as a current JA, is there still a chance for Mids?
  20. My dd loved the audition, she came out really happy, said she enjoyed it, they did barre work, centre work and corner work. She's never had audition lessons, we just let her have a go 😊 most associates auditions are in the format of a general ballet class. Hope this helps x
