    I didn't find the number of kids intimidating. I found the presentation of some of them intimidating, like on some of those American TV shows. I was a competitive athlete too and honestly until we got close to national level, we didn't have the level of grooming and personalized gear that 7 year olds seem to have these days (I wasn't a ballerina but let's just say it was something similar to ballet). 

    I find this quite strange that because the girls were well groomed you found it intimidating? Surely for all auditions your child should be immaculate and look their best for any audition! Also the personalised gear is down to a dance school not the child and the dance school having this shows a good representation of where they are from. Very judgemental from yourself really these kids are only young, if you feel like this now god knows how you would feel if your child competes when they’re older.

    I think they have a junior group and a senior group for auditions. When I picked up my daughter I thought, wow, quite a lot of kids! The vast majority in personalized dance gear, and at least 10 of them seemed to come from one particular dance school based on the hoodies. Quite intimidating!

    Was she in the younger or older group? I thought there were quite a lot of kids in the younger group.

     Can I ask why you found it so intimidating? Maybe they have a good intake? No one should ever feel intimidated

    I also really thought it would be this week! But the email did say it would be by the end of February so going by that there could still be 2 more weeks to wait! I’m thinking if we haven’t heard by the end of tomorrow it will be the very last week in Feb as am not sure we would hear over half term? But who knows! Good luck to everyone waiting!

    Yes I agree if they haven’t come by tomorrow will be the end of the month, although they have said they like to give atleast 4 weeks notice?? And the boys finals are 4 weeks away
