  1. It’s not a negative to be hyper mobile, in fact it’s quite favourable but they need to be aware as loose ligaments can be prone to injury .
  2. Pinky and toes is all in the hypermobility check. If they have hyper extended elbows/ knees. If they can bend their thumb to reach their wrist etc. These are standard checks at all ballet school auditions.
  3. Is it all costs?? I thought mds meant it was means tested like Royal & Elmhurst....
  4. Was that by email or post? Wonder if we will hear WL boys today... Well Done to your Dd for reserve list!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
  5. Yes we went last Friday... sheen gate entrance. It looks like you can’t go through but you can go past the barriers.. just keep going straight but drive slowly as walkers and cyclists have right of way 🙈
  6. My friend has a dd in year 7 , ah said in year 9 ( I think 🤔) there are only 7 or 8 boys. They only took that amount that year. So again, will only take who they want and not to fill numbers for sake if it. But only 17 auditioning is quite promising 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
  7. I liked this too! I feel at the minute my “ head” says one place but my “ heart” says another 😫. But he may get neither so ... 🧐🤣
  8. My ds said all in the morning group looked his age x
  9. That’s a long time and surprising as they’ve always come back within 10 days of audition. They all (schools) want to outdo each other and get in first . I’m hopeful we will hear by first part of Easter holidays
  10. I think it’s 12-14 similar to White Lodge .... fingers crossed 🤞🏻
  11. Which week is your ds doing? We are the first week 😁
  12. Thank you and to your ds 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
  13. A yes for my ds!! Found out on the way back from his Elmhurst Final this morning! X
  14. My ds is just excited to share a bed with me 🤣🤣🤣 He always begs to get in my bed at home 🏠 to no avail so he is loving life lol xx
  15. We are there tomorrow... 9 am!! In the premier inn now. Trying to get him calm to sleep 🤣🤣
  16. Yes this is very true. They literally have 2 or 3 available for our Birmingham centre xx
  17. Ds JA teacher said the original list they got sent out was 120 girls which then got cut again to just under 80 xx The JA teachers knew who was through to finals before we did!
  18. This is why they aren’t worth the paper they’re written On unfortunately. It’s all based on trust 😒xx
  19. You were right .. they had their audition on the Thursday and got their result on the Tuesday!!! I just asked a mum of a current year 7 boy.... could be tomorrow or Thursday!!!! She said it came at 5pm too xx
  20. Who knows what they are looking for 🤷🏼‍♀️ I really wouldn’t worry. In the past ,children have been accepted without even doing much ballet before but more gymnastics. They had the right attributes / equipment etc . It really is a guessing game. Also they take 14 boys maxim. They don’t have to fill up the spaces and won’t. If they only like 6 or7 boys they will only take that amount . I’ll be very glad when this is all over to be honest, it’s consuming me!!! Xx
  21. Elmhurst have their extended dancers course which is like MA equivalent. Not sure if their applications are open yet.. should be this month xx
