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 😂

Yes they did my DD auditioned but unfortunately wasn't successful. She was successful and has accepted a place on the associate's programme at Moorland but we'd also applied for Elmhurst so was hoping she could still complete an audition at least xx

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

I wonder if they're planning on abandoning it for 2020. It's getting a little close really to make arrangements etc isn't it? X

Hi all,

Has anyone heard any further information about this September intake auditions for Elmhurst Young Dancer ? I last had an email at the beginning of June stating they were undecided on how to proceed but not heard anything since.

Thanks in advance ☺  xx

Feeling for those who weren't successful this time.  It is hard, especially after all the waiting and anticipation.  

 

Please encourage your little ones that one 'no' doesn't mean you will never get any 'yes's'.  

 

If it's what you want - keep trying and the right thing will happen for you when the time is right.

 

And if nothing else - this audition was a practice for the ones to come.

That's really lovely !! I'm really proud of how my DD has handled the whole process and even the no xx

It's a minefield 😂

It really is but thank you to this forum and the support you've all given at least we managed to get an associate's offer 😄. Thank to all of you fabulous lot 😄👏 xx

Short wait list - so still a chance of a place if one becomes available.

Thank you... totally new to this so still trying to figure out all the terminologies ha ha xx

Well done everyone 👏... excuse my ignorance but what is SWL ? xx

Just received my DD results email and unfortunately it's a no for RBS. However she's received a place for Moorland International Ballet Academy so great result for first time auditionee. Well done everyone 👏  xx

Our surname begins with S so we're usually bottom end if things are alphabetical xx

I guess they must have so many to get through. I optimistically thought we would hear next week but might be too much to expect. 

Yes i had in my head it would be next week but really beginning to doubt that now xx

It fills me with dread to think that they've not even looked at them all yet... it would appear the wait is going to be much longer 😔 xx 

Just now, Daisyflower said:

No news yet. Do you think we are going to have the results next week? Xx

 

I was hoping we would've by today but never mind !! Hopefully next week yes..  the waiting is a killer ha ha xx

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

Wow that's really amazing 👏... thank you so much for sharing that. Which did you end up picking ? Xx

Thank you @Dancer20it's lovely to hear how your DD has progressed. I'm sure you've been through these stresses many times now. Good luck for your DD for September 🥰 xx

Seems sensible! Especially for Y6.

 

Still can't wrap my head round people soon being able to have a drink in a pub but DD not being able to go back to the studio... but that's a completely separate conversation 😂

🤣🤣🤣 it really is xx

I imagine they're waiting for some more guidance from the government which doesn't look like it's going to arrive anytime soon... Though if schools are all going back in September then surely auditions can at least go ahead.

I just thought once others had taken the decision to do video auditions they'd have done the same ha ha xx

I think there's a reasonable chance we will 😀

 

We're waiting on Elmhurst news as well, hopefully we'll have some dates to work towards soon! Only thing in the diary at the moment is Tring CBA on September 5th though sods law either JAs or Elmhurst YD will end up clashing 🤣

I'm so surprised at the lateness of Elmhurst announcing what they'll do about auditions. I was really convinced they'd follow RB !! 

Its always the way isn't it 🤣 xx

It's a tricky one! DD has been part of Midland Theatre Ballet the past year and has turned down a further 12 months without having anything firmly in it's place. A real chance that we may end up with nothing  though if that happens we'll try and line up some privates with a good teacher to fill the gap. 

Oh no... its so difficult isn't it ?? You just don't want them to end up with nothing. I know Elmhurst haven't even decided yet what their auditions will look like so who knows what will happen there ?? Hopefully you won't end up in that position xx

Ok so here's one for you all.... I'm assumin your children have other auditions too 🤷‍♀️. What if acceptance dates are before you receive results from other auditions? Would it be silly not to accept at the risk of not being offered any others ?? Totally our first time so really nervous xx

Hope you all hear soon! Sure they'll want to draw a line underneath these auditions ASAP, fingers crossed anyway!

 

What sort of thing did you have to film? No-one for DD's dance school has tried for JAs for a few years so going in blind as to what will actually happen in her audition for a year 5 place in September. 

It was mainly exercises nothing too complex but i assume that the judges are able to tell a lot about strength etc with them.

Its my DD first time of auditions so I'm not sure how the video audition would differ to live auditions. Good luck 👍  xx

Ooh fab  fingers crossed 😬 wonder when we will found out I’m checking my phone every morning and at midnight 🙈 this is worse than the audition xx

The waiting is awful isn't it 🤦‍♀️. I'm the same myself. Good luck 🤞 xx

Ooh I didn’t know we had to do that...I didn’t send a password to them presuming they have  been able to view it though with it being not private! 

I wouldn't worry they'd have been in touch to advise if they were unable to watch it. They were unable to view my DD so asked me to resend the link and password and they've since viewed it xx

1 minute ago, Reggi said:

Mine has been viewed 8 times but this could of been by the public I didn’t realise it was like Instagram! So I have no clue if they have viewed it or not! 😆

I set my daughters to private and could only be accessed with the password which i provided to RB. So hers only has one viewing on 24th June xx

I've just read on another platform that results are usually within a month with normal auditions but as it's only year 6 maybe these will be quicker. It's 2 weeks on Wednesday so half way there xx

I had an email before as they were unable to view my daughters video so asked me to send them the link again. Fingers crossed not too long of a wait now xx
