London audition all done, results out early July, by email this time, so let the long wait start!

Hope everyone's audition in London went well today xx

Good luck xx

Yes there out today by post x

Does anyone know how long the results of the assessment take?

I'm sure you will get it today or tomorrow, as I know 2 other people that all have there letter today, don't worry x

Yes we got our letter today x

Good luck to everyone at tring tomorrow for assessments! Xxx

They have not been send out yet, we will hear this week xx

Don't worry I don't think anyone has heard yet, x

Drdance, do you think these are worth getting then?

They have all just got on the bus to o to wicked! All very excited and noisy!! Xx

My dd is also in group b, have heard from her a few times and its all fun and laughter down the phone, so they are having a great time x

Yes I think I will pack character stuff, just in case!! Trumpet now that would have been brilliant!! My 8 year old does not have one direction, so don't worry we are uncool as well!

I'm after a little help and peoples views on acro, my dd does a modern solo and her teacher has asked that we start acro so she can put a walkover in her next modern solo.

My dd loves modern and tap, but ballet is her world, just wondered what everyone's thoughts on acro in dance, and does gymnastic type work not ruin posture and so on for ballet?

Yes my dd is going, she is only 8 but it also boarding, cause Mary knows her through classical ballet, thought she would be ok , I'm very worried and nervous, but she is not bothered at all and she is looking forwArd to watching the whizz and the talent show!

I find the bloch ones are good, and last for ages x

Ah yes maybe, thankyou x

Honestly she came out of the audition on a real high, thoroughly enjoyed it, the only thing I would say that was bad, was the waiting before they went in, with some mothers over stretching there children, but my dd was not that bothered by that, it was me think omg what are you doing to that child! But apart from that a well organized and enjoyable day, and yes she would go every year if she did not get in xx

My dd auditioned for the junior associates last year she was 7 at the time, but was 8 in the august so was very very young, the audition was very simple with actually very few dance exercises in, most of it was looking at the body, my dd loved the experience but was unsuccessful, this year she wants to try again and is under no understanding she will get in again but just said she loved dancing in the Covent garden royal ballet studios and she said to me I will never know if I don't try, so what could I say to that!! So photos are done and audition ready to post! Good luck to what ever you decide, but I would also say you have to follow your child cause I think if it was up to me, I would not be doing it x

Today at Tring parks cba, Mary schon, was sitting in the classes, taking notes, was it assessment today or something, any ideas anyone, I did not think assessments were till June/July?

Never had Karen before, there seems to be some nice new adjudicators, which is nice to see

I know I only just got ours done, only took nearly a year! Ha

Ah no, they have split it up haven't they, into just ages this time

Yes she is in 7-8, she got the cup last year for highest mark overall for ballet junior section, she she really does not want to give back ha x so are you in 9-10?

How does she remember all those dances! Ha, it's a nice festival though, and well run, but yes tough! Xx
