Yes your correct.They have anothet performance on at the Bloomsbury Theatre in June

Any letters yet?

No, they took him in at year 6 and joined the year 7's. So he auditioned year 7 at WL.

Auditions for year 7 on 15th Feb

Young Dancers Acadamy. Full time dance school. Anna Du Boisson and Kerry Williams run the school. Also WLSD, West London School of Dance. Fantastic school!

Thanks for your replys. DS loves it at YDA and yes thats the problem, we have seen children come back from RBS to YDA. I can't believe how well he has done there and Miss Hubbard at RBS is pleased with him. What will be will be. If he is lucky to get though he'll have to choose. No way will I make the decision for him!

My ds is at YDA and have been told to keep him there as it us better than RBS. Has any body else heard this. I am confused!

Thanks, i thought my ds was the only one who dudn't get s letter!

We are London and was told letters are out?

My DS audition was 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Will he be told next week if he gets into WL ir not.

We had 3 of the senior boys come to our pub in Oxfordshire (1 boy and his dad who has something to do with Elmhurst live near us) drinking guinness! They said they saw my son in the paper and recommended he go to Elmhurst. They love it there! Might audition him there as well, will talk to him.

Hi Evie, he not at YDA by any chance?

Thanks Julie, i do tell him not to expect to get in. Also not to expect to get into MA's as well. What our children go through.

Wow brilliant! Will look at web site. Got meeting with RBS over WL and I feel a lot more confident and happier. Thank you for info.

I really wanted to know if your children enjoyed it, prefered JA, MA or SA better. Education results?

My son (10yrs) applying for 2013. He is JA and loves performing (ROH tonight in Swan Lake) and is beside himself that he won't get in. I would have liked him to wait like his sister, until 16 and do a BA Hons course at Central or Ballet West but he wants to go now. Or of course RBS! I feel better now and will be a lot happiet now if he gets in, thank you.

Northern Ballet, KS Dance, Royal Acadamy of Dance. Urdang, Italia Conti, Royals, YDA (8 students got into WL this Sept) Central, Bird, Millenium .......

Just been told Ballet West is amazing and you live on sight!

YBS by all accounts is the best. Their standards are really high. If you want all round ballet tap etc London Studio Centre is good.

Embroidery set with ballet things to sew on it for the girls to make. keep their tights, bits and bobs etc in

What about a really posh scrap book for those that love ballet. I got my son one when he did his first performance in Alice Adventures in Wonderland with RB. Now he fills it with pics, who he spoke to what they say to him, mistakes on stage etc (he is 10 by the way) He has a special book he writes in what he had done! He will come home from ROH tonight and write about what happened in Swan Lake. His book is great. 4 performance with RB. Children should have a special memory book. His first ballet teacher has and she was with RB and she is in her 70's! Great thing to look back on.

Has anybody got any comments on sending children to White Lodge in year 7?
