There is this thread from last year with loads of info on

My son had this. We saw a doctor and a physio and were given conflicting advice. I then booked to see a podiatrist who advised on insoles to align the feet and physio exercises to strengthen. I would see a podiatrist as they are the experts in that field and they will advise you of what is the right course of action for your son.

They said December as they have 2 other dates of scholarships auditions following the one in Leeds on Sunday

I would say it would be the year group you are auditioning for. The current year 6’s are auditioning for a year 7 place so would follow those guidelines

Yes we had an email last year from our JA teacher which mentioned equipment they want you to have with a link on where to purchase it. We received it once classes had started though.

I think i know deep down that i am just not ready for this to happen right now and we will probably wait a few years. She is part of a great dance school and also does a weekly associate course. Apologies if i offended anyone with my original post asking is 11 too young? It is a question i have asked myself for my DD and us as a family. I totally appreciate it will be exactly the right time for some DC. Yes there is the cost element. We would make changes to make it work as i am sure many do. We may still go down the route of auditioning to see what happens and make our final decision on the results. Good luck to you all.

Thank you. I guess i need to work it all out. Petrol is where most of my money is going at the moment. Plus gas and and electric so i guess one less child to feed, keep warm, entertain and ferry about!

Hi. Her dance school hasn't put me under pressure. When i mentioned my DD wanting to go, i said i didn't want her to due to cost and felt she was too young which is when it was said i would be selfish not to let her go if that is what she wants. Its my daughter who is pushing for this. As much as i would love her to be accepted, i just know it is a lot of money. Hats off to anyone who can afford to pay out £2-3k a month in school fees.

Hi. We are in the position in that my DD wants to go at 11 and us parents are reluctant to send her. So i am in a quandary about what to do. Will she resent us if we hold her back? Her dance school principal has said it would be selfish of us to hold her back. Talk about Mum guilt. We cant afford it for one. Is 11 too young? Only at the weekend we heard about a bad experience but know there are good experiences too.

Hi If anyone has one for sale, i am still looking 🤞🏻 looking for a white Claudia Dean leotard in Large Child with preferably thin straps

Thank you! I had no idea how to

If any of you ‘Newbies’ have any questions, there is a great thread started in 2019 called ‘RBS Junior Associate Newbies’ (not sure how to share it in here) which has questions about uniform sizing, hair etc.

Congratulations to all who received a yes and sorry to those not receiving the news they wanted today. @Elzmy DD got a straight no year 4 and a yes year 5 and like @MissEmilysaid, there were 6 months between them so you just never know.

The Leeds results came out on this day in 2021 and 2019 but maybe there are other factors in the mix this year if they have said beginning of July. Good luck to you all 🍀
