    ENB School Finals

    in Doing Dance

    Posted

    Evening, just had a look at The Dada awards it seems the more one earns the more one has to pay towards the training if given a place after the finals..

    So people who fall in the low income category seem to be ok, also spoke to the vocational school about it, and, it is based on the family income.

    Here Here Tulip,  :D  I totally AGREE with YOU, at last someone who understands what I have been trying to say!!

     

    Also just because one is at a vocational school does not mean they are at the top!

    They go into the school, starting at the bottom to work their way up to the top, hopefully, with love and support..

    If one starts at the top there is only one way to go and there is always someone there to take ones place!!!

    No axe to grind at all!!! ;)  My DD is at the school !!!

     

    Just totally disgusted with how this girl was treated!! I wonder how we would feel if it was our child?

    I sometimes wonder about this ballet world!!!!

    Some people do presume things!!!!

    This was for an older girl this happened year 10 when she joined WL, so as they do not assess out in yr 11 she got to stay due to exams..

    Never progressed to Upper School though!!!

    I do not know how this happened you will have to ask WL as it destroyed this poor girl!

    The  parents of the girl were told with in 2 weeks they had made a mistake at audition when they gave her a place, and, it was very upsetting for all involved!!!

    To many people put to much emphasis on RBS.! Many fab dancers have gone on to have great careers without stepping foot inside RBS!

    I do believe if one has the talent and a great teacher where ever one trains it will be brought out as talent always shines through!

    Rejection from time to time helps one to become stronger in this mad dance world , which can be so cruel, as above!!

    Just for the record!! YES the Year 11 Students at Elmhurst who pass the Appraisal do have to audition at Finals for a place at Upper School with the external students!

    So NO their place is not given to them on a plate, they to have to fight for their place, which they have also worked hard for in their training!!!!

    Hello

    I am very sorry to hear of your heartache, but, please remember, there are a lot of other children in the same position!!

    It seems people are slating Elmhurst and saying they make some odd decisions at auditions!!

    Well lots of people could same the same about RBS, ENB and Central!!

    We know lots of fantastic dancers that have not got in any of The Upper Schools for 6.1 and did not give up to succeed in 6.2!!

    There is no school more odd than the RBS when it comes to audition results!!

    We know someone who got in and with in two weeks of being in the RBS was told they had made a big mistake at taking this person in, as they were picked on physique and not talent, which The RBS do a lot of!!

    Elmhurst is a  good school and I am sure like with any school the teachers know what they are looking for!!!
