I’ve been hoping this may happen too! But I’m not brave enough either! 

I have thought about being anonymous and contacting the office by phone but i feel i will struggle to get my words out 😂

Is there anyone brave enough to contact them and ask for an update? I am not brave enough 😂

Fingers crossed that we'll hear this week 🙏 Good luck to all of you.

Yes hoping and praying there will be news starting to come out this week 😬

We uploaded via Google drive so have no idea if they’ve been watched or how many times, but we did another video audition and sent it a different way which means we can see if it’s been downloaded and it’s excruciating! Looking forward to just knowing either way now, hopefully not too much longer. 

Last year i said we wouldn't do it again if it was video audition. Yet here we are 🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Has everyone been viewed now? Has anyone had more than a second view? Like 3/4? I wish they would send an update saying when the results will be issued to save my sanity. Every day thinking could today be the day and then being disappointed. Last year it was more of a relief when we got the no as i could go back to normal 😂

I thought we’d hear this week too. I know some existing JA heard this week about continuing next year so hopefully not too much longer to wait!

Do you think that gives anyone the option if they decide they dont want to continue? 

I really thought they might start coming out this week but doesn't seem likely now 😭

It’s a nice thought that there might possibly be more opportunities. It would be so nice. Last year did they let children know about JEP at the same time as giving out JA places and no emails or did JEP come later? 

We all found out if we were a Yes, No or SWL. The JEP was introduced after i believe but correct me if i am wrong

Oh sorry. I didn’t mean to get hopes up. But I’m sure it won’t be long x

Any day now 😬

Results in 2019 started on Tue 11th they came out by centre and paused on the Friday and Monday. All were out by the 21st June. 
 

Hang in there everyone, perhaps they’re trying to get back to normal so with or without the 21st looming you should hear in the next couple of weeks. 
 

Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you all. 🤞

That would be the equivalent of the first group being issued today @sjballet 🤞🏻

Ours too 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am positive that they wont discount your DC’s after a 2 minute watch. I think they’ll revisit them before the results come out or they’ll be instant yes’. Otherwise its a waste or time and money for you if they dont watch the whole thing and i am certain that wont be the case.

How do you know how long they viewed for?

Yes through youtube studio app or if you view on a computer, when you look at your videos through ‘manage your videos’ there is an option for analytics. The icon looks like bars on a bar chart. Try not to click on your video to watch as this will be included in the analytics. 

Is there anyone on here still waiting for views?

If you’ve only had one view are you out of the game? 😪

I think you can interpret any of it which way you want as i dont think anyone knows for sure (unless there are some insiders on this forum 😂)

1 view could mean they liked what they saw from the off and dont need to see any more! Multiple views could mean they aren't sure so need to keep checking and comparing or it could be completely opposite and could be going through stages with different people viewing. 
if i remember correctly, last year someone had a 2 minute view and got a yes!
Last year we had 1 full view of all videos and got a no 🤷‍♀️

Finally had views on our videos 😬💕😬💕

I bet you are relieved!

Yes me! 🤣 Only the first was viewed - it was like that for ages - then they were all viewed, then a week ago all were viewed again... but I don’t think any of them were watched all the way through. Kind of wishing I hadn’t used YouTube so I couldn’t keep checking the analytics! 🤣

We have had 1 view on part 1. Then 4 views part 2 and 5 views on part 3 But there has only been 3 of those views which have had a good amount watched. The others were less than 2 mind so thinking maybe an error. 
Also we submitted in Feb, had our first view 6th May and our last view last week!

Do existing JAs find out before everyone else as someone I follow on Instagram yesterday posted to say they were so happy to be offered another year on the associate programme for next year 

I saw something too but i thought once you are in, you are in for the duration until the end of JA’s? You just need to reapply for Mids, then Seniors? 
I am keen to learn how the results will be issued this year as this year is already different to last year as the Y6’s were done first and Y4&5 in centre order. This year all the videos have been submitted all together. 
I am hoping we will know by mid June the latest 🤞🏻

Hi Everyone. Complete newbie here. Think we may have bitten off more than we can chew. Daughter only has one 30 min lesson a week and started 18 months ago - but obviously most of that was during lockdown. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi. Dont worry. I am under the impression they look for potential. I have heard previous year of DC’s getting in with little experience. Your DD has as much chance as any and i imagine her teacher may have put her forward so would have an idea what they look for.

Still no views for us...trying not to worry about it. Discounted by photos? 

They will watch all videos i would think as you wouldn't pay for an in person and your daughter stand on the sidelines. Also i dont think photos are a true representation of how a child dances. Good luck x

We've now had views on all three videos, they were watched on Thursday afternoon. 12 mins, 10 mins and 14 mins respectively. I don't know if its good or bad that they took so long to make their minds up?! 🤔

Our videos have been watched numerous times but not for the full minutes except part 1. Video 3 has been watched 4 times and video 2, 3 times. So she obvious isn't an instant yes if they need to keep going back. 
I now feel its better not knowing. Last year we had the majority watched on each video but only one view each

Hi everyone,

I’ve had an email to say that some of the content on video 2 and 3 are missing. I am going to upload the videos again to you tube, but I don’t know how to resend the link 🤷🏻‍♀️Can anyone please help? Xx

There are 3 dots. If you click there is a share option. Then select copy link

Do you think many children do both Royal and Northern associates? Seems a bit much to me along with their usual dance classes. If so, then it's a shame that they get the opportunity for training with 2 Associate schemes when there are plenty of children on waiting lists who would love the chance of attending 1.

Not that I am taking anything away from dancers who have been lucky enough to be offered more than one place ( they are clearly very talented ) x

I think depending on age and their regular classes, some may do both. We have applied for two this year and we were considering a third just to widen our DD chances. We have no intention of doing all three but if we are lucky enough to get offered more than one, we will need to work out what fits in best with her current classes and go from there.

 Good luck with your waitlist. Its only Juniors that are still auditioning for Royal so if you are waitlisted for SA, i imagine you could hear soon after deadline. Good luck 🤞

No idea, I thought there might be but if we’re getting results in June, like they wrote in the email,  I imagine not. 

June is a whole 30 days, i wish they’d said end if June then anything sooner is a bonus. It will be crazy daily email refreshing from 1st June from me. 😂

Is anyone else driving themselves crazy by watching their child's audition videos? 😂
