Can anybody tell me what time the classes are at the Bath centre and how often they are? TIA

Do you think a prepared solo will be required for the second day seeing as we aren't being told about the format of the second day until after the first? It says one won't be needed for the first day but doesn't mention the second.

Has anybody attended any auditions yet for Y7 starting 23?

Does everyone need to have resistance bands? We've had no communication to say we need them 🤔 is it different for different centres? In the handbook it says to bring a mat and then mentions that ballet body conditioning equipment is to be ordered online this year but had nothing further to say what/if we need that?

Is there anyone who is in the same boat with their DC about to start the journey of applying to vocational training for September 2023? Trying to read previous posts and websites to gain as much info as possible but there is so much to think about! There is a thread for 2022 that was very helpful so thought I would start one for 2023.

They always make it so relaxed for them and such a positive experience! 
 

I don’t suppose you know how long they said till you will hear? I have an awful feeling it will be when all the auditions are over which will be end of May into June 😝

DC said she thinks they told her end of June! But I thought I read somewhere beginning of July! Either way it is a long old wait, eek.

Good luck!! Can I ask how did the audition go and what kind of things did your DC have to do? Xxxx

My DC is terrible for remembering what has just happened so when she came out all she could tell me was that there was some stretching and some dancing 😂 but she did say that it was just like a ballet class and that she really enjoyed it so it sounds like it was a very positive experience which is lovely. Think she was so nervous and concentrated so much that as soon as she was out she left it all behind! 

We had ours last week in Totnes. Good luck everyone

Hi,

Is anyone's DC doing the Tring Easter Residential? And if so, have you had any info for it yet? Not received anything and thinking it is getting close!

Wait list here too

Last year the applications closed later (on 3 March I believe - quickly searched my emails) and we got results on 18 March as @Lily Craggssays so it was a relatively quick process. Hope it might be similar this year! 

That's good to know, thankyou. Fingers crossed for similar

Any thoughts on when we might find out results for summer intensive places? Closing date tomorrow...

Has anyone had "Based on your admission item, you need to have at least 1 courses." pop up after page 2 of the application form?!

Yes I did! It took me ages to work out what was going on and I only figured it out because I changed browser. At the top of the page you should be able to see Junior Associates written and the option to click in a box with the price to select it, if you can't see that then you may need to adjust your browser settings or change browser. This was our issue anyway, hope this makes sense.

Well done to your DD, fingers crossed for her! Which centre was this for? I know of two SWL for yr 4 girls in Bath. I wonder how many SWL they have? 

Thankyou, we are Totnes. Not sure if any others for there 

Just now, BalletBoysDad said:

Congratulations to your DD, sending positive vibes that that SWL place materialises. Was that for Y4 or Y5? 

Thankyou, Y4

Sorry to any not yets and well done to the yes's and SWL's. We got SWL for group 3, DD has her heart completely set on a place so praying it materialises. It doesn't seem all that likely though. Hope group 4 decisions are out soon so you don't have to wait much longer!
