Yeah I think you are right... just looked at them again... I feel such an idiot now. I'd better email them! They are going to think I'm a right idiot 😞😞😞😞xx

No I have looked and misread it 😞 I only sent the plie photo.. I had better email them. I hope I haven't affected her chances... It's not her fault her mum is an idiot! 😞 x

Got my email she's in Sat 2.45 year 6... when you say photos... I thought it was just one photo in plie or did I get that completely wrong!? 😂

Good point, not sure. I wonder how many will be in the zoom class and what they will have to do x

Which email address did you use? X

Same here... I'm having so much trouble with my emails. Would you mind letting me know when you do? Then I know to ask if I haven't had one lol xx

Hi has anyone had any info yet about the year 6 zoom auditions on Saturday? X

Elmhurst are doing Young dancer are doing auditions by Zoom.. so wonder what they will be like... at least the children are getting valuable experience from auditioning on all these different platforms. My DD did her EYB Audition by video.

No zoom didn't suit everyone. I don't look on Instagram lol, for that reason. Not sure how it's going to work on Zoom, it will be an experience, that's for sure! 😂 and it's all good experience for our children too.

Hi for Plymouth it's Sunday for Elmhurst and Saturday for RBS JAs 😊 least that's what it was I'm sure your DD will be ok, they must know we've all been out of the studios lol, well I'm hoping so 😂

You never know, might do 😊 are there lots of others on W/L? Congratulations for getting swl 😊

And you ❤ Yep every Sunday.. I think it's Sunday because RBS JAs are every Saturday, avoids clash for those who do both xx

We got ours too, last year they were Sunday afternoon. My DD was successful last year yr5 but we had to decline as it was a morning class and she had BB Sunday mornings, she's been moved to lower mids BB which is mornings, so if she is successful again for Elmhurst I'm hoping the yr6 stays pm lol x

Yeah and that in itself is tricky lol... my DD does tap, modern and musical theatre. Then Ballet she has 3 a week inc JA and then 4 once a month for BB. She doesn't do anything else, I try to vary the stuff she does, so she doesn't do a huge amount of the same thing. She's auditioning for vocational schools for 2021 intake, that's scarey too lol x

Difficult isn't it... because I'm new to this I too listen to her dance teacher and ask her alot! I usually go with her advice. Maybe have another chat with her, does your daughter do alot of classes at dance school? Or other things? Mine never had dance on a weekend with her dance school. Although you've got me thinking now, maybe it was too much for my DD as she's not long 10... She had a great time but I'd hate to think it's affected her physically 🤔

My daughter is an RBS JA and a Ballet Boost JA year 5, she did both last year, she also was part of Birmingham royal Ballet swan lake dreams.. it was hectic but she coped really well and learnt loads, having alot of fun along the way! It's also good to listen to her teacher too, so you can weigh up the pros and cons so to speak... we found Ballet Boost complimented her RBS training really well too, BB is once every 3 weeks or so, RBS weekly, then her BRB rehersals. She had a great time, sadly never got to perform swan lake as COVID had other ideas but despite that she still loved it.. She even manged to squeeze in a Panto 😂😂😂. I think if you know your child could cope with both then try it.. I guess she could leave one programme if it wasn't working out for some reason, nothing is undoable. Congratulations to your DD for being offered both x

Ahh ok.. I didn't see it until I saw there had been on this forum, then found it. Have you checked your junk folder? X

Not sure. I applied and paid for the audition what seems and age a go, so guess from that. Email them may be and ask to be added to the list? Xx

I got that email too and am equally confused! 😜😂 not unusual for me lol

Oooh I hope not...maybe they are waiting to see if they can do them. I believe RBS yr 6 JA was a video audition but YR 4 and 5 auditons will be in the autumn.. so I've read on here. Ballet Boost did video audition. English youth Ballet auditon is video too, so hopefuly Elmhurst will arrange something 😊 I'm trying to be positive 😂

Hi this was 2019 😊

I've not heard anything. I emailed a while back and they said they are looking at the best way to do them x

Thankyou for this. I'm going to show it to my DD....I quite often say to her if it's meant to be it will be. She has had lots of knocks, she too just kept going and she's had successes. I have no dance background at all and this world completely confusing! 😂 x

We ended up doing RBS weekly and Ballet Boost every 3 weeks, we declined Elmhurst so she had some time to herself lol but she is auditioning again for Elmhurst young dancers for a year 6 place as well as starting prelimeries for vocational schools, so we are on the audition roundabout again and I still don't know what I'm doing! Haha she has a Yr 6 RBS place and a BB junior associates place still, it's going to be busy this year but I'm sure she'll will make memories and I will go a little greyer! 😂 x

If this helps, this was my experience last year... my DD was a first time auditionee and me a first time mum in the Dance world. She auditioned for 3 associates programmes, Ballet boost, Elmhurst and RBS, to our shock she was offered places at all 3. We had time to decide which ones she would do, it would be good if you have a plan of what you would accept. We didn't think she would be offered any, so had no plan but it worked out ok in the end. Good luck with the auditions x
