There is movement, my daughter has been offered a place (was on waiting list) for week 4, email came through this afternoon. Fingers crossed for everyone else! 

Thanks yes it was a mistake,  it was meant to be 8:30 am on the Monday! 

The email just says arrival/ registration information and then Monday 8th at 5pm. The three attachments don’t really seem to stay anything else about times or dates. I just thought it would be early on a Monday before the course starts, I’m going to contact them. 

So my daughter isn’t boarding, but has been given a registration time of 5pm on the Monday 8th. Im confused I thought the course started on the Monday? Or have I got this wrong? Thanks 

My eldest was similar she wore a Silky Seamless Clear Back Bra Top (if you search it) under her leotards, the straps and back had two options of nude or clear, it’s more like a crop top than bra.

WL is in Richmond Park which is only accessible by car or taxi. The taxis outside Richmond station are well used to doing that journey. There is parking in the school grounds although it does get busy at the start of intensives.

There is a Premier Inn in Richmond town center and more pricey hotels on Richmond Hill near one of the gates into the park.

Thank you that’s all really helpful 

Hi my daughter is doing the spring intensive but she is not boarding - anyone got any suggestion where to stay nearby? How easy is it to get to White Lodge? Is it walkable or is it best to take a car with me or use a taxi? Thanks 

My DD is also Y5 and has a spring place! Amazed as she only made the waiting list for JA. 

Just thought I would provide feedback on the online junior associates class,  as I couldn’t find much information before my daughter started. I thought the class was really good, well organised (obviously a few glitches but nothing more than you would expect from zoom), teacher was lovely, informative, appropriate exercises, good interaction, the teacher did seem to be checking each girl and most importantly my daughter enjoyed it. I’m glad that we signed up for the online class. Hope everyone else had the same positive experience!

My y5 daughter is excited too! Have you had an invoice yet? I can’t seem to find any info anywhere, I have emailed this weekend. 

Thank you that’s really helpful, I think I will also email Ballet Boost and see what they say. 

She would miss 8 of 12 online classes if she did both so i don’t think it would be one or the other.  She would definitely be trying again next year for JA, and I do understand there is that prestigious element to Royal ballet but I don’t want that to be the deciding factor if that makes sense. 

Hi not sure if this is the right place to post but I’m hoping someone can help - I have just got the dates through for royal ballet online junior associates and noticed there are quite a few clashes with Ballet boost which my daughter has also been accepted to start in September. Which one would you go for and why? I’m just trying to weigh up what is best and am a complete newbie to this auditioning! She also got into Elmhurst young dancers but we don’t have a clash there so that one is ok. Thanks! 

So on the email received Monday last week there was confirmation of venue but it said times to follow in a couple of days - I have had no time info yet, has anyone else? Also bought the uniform, found the leotard quite small and would poss go up a size. 

Probably analysing this far too much now but our short waiting list response was for the 24th June so a different date 😂 I think we will just try again next year.  Well done all. 

I have no idea tbh about the short waiting list! It’s the first year we have applied so I was hoping someone else might know more about the process. We had no expectations so this is a bonus anyway 🙂

We have just got an email for Manchester - my daughter made the short waiting list. Good look everyone else!

My daughter also auditioned at Manchester, there were at least 4 groups that I know of that day that had about 20 dancers in. Groups were mixed there were two boys in my daughters session. I think there is another day today also! There were yr4 and yr5s in her session so I think it is done in age order as she was one of the youngest yr 5s but her older yr5 friend was in the session after. 
 

she loved it, had a great day off school! Good luck to everyone and thanks for the sock info too!! 😃

Does anyone have any idea what time or day  classes (y5) are in Manchester from September? 

I wrote off checking my emails until now, but have just found out that my daughter got in to year 5. Well done to those who got in and keep on trying to those who didn’t, your time will come. 

I was wondering this, but also could it be Tuesday if it’s bank hol weekend? 🤔

Nothing here either. 

Ah good luck for tomorrow - my daughter has mcr rbs audition next week. She also loved the Elmhurst audition, such a good experience regardless of outcome. 

Got ours late last night too! Good luck to all those auditioning. 

I still don’t have any info for Manchester - I wonder if they are going to issue details after the closing date on Monday? I think I will contact them Tues if I have nothing through by then.
