My DD also did the auditions this weekend, shes an associate with MTB, the results usually take around 2 weeks to be received Good Luck

I’ve never looked into English youth ballet, may go and have a look at it thank you for the heads up x

Hi, Thank you for being a lurker and talking to me i appreciate that. New school being looked at this week x

Thank you all for replying to the messages, we are feeling a tad batter now. We have managed to get some feedback from The Hammond, which has helped a lot, this has given DD something to work on. listening to you all, its made me realise that these schools are not the be all and end all, and i know that she will get her goal if she carries on doing her classes and focuses. She is feeling a little better about it all to be honest, we are going to trial a new ballet school this week which teachers RAD and IDTA classes but will have to do 1-2-1 classes as she will be in associates on a Saturday.

Thank you, we are feeling a bit better tonight, I’ve had some really lovely messages from people on here that have put mine and my husbands minds at rest, DD will be ok she is pretty resilient and will bounce back we are moving dance school she isn’t clicking with the dance teacher she has right now but my husband has spoken to a new one and she will see her Thursday x

Don’t know what to say about it all to be honest need to try and stay positive

Hi, DD goes to midland Theatre Ballet at the BOA / Elmhurst she didn’t get offered a place so we are currently all feeling a bit blue and down. We don’t know what to say or do, don’t know what we need to work on. I don’t want to talk about ballet right now. I’ve just dropped her off at the local ballet school and she sobbed didn’t want to go, so what am I supposed to do, she has gone and we are looking at changing her

Yes we got the email too x

we are going to look into changing her just going to get to July and move if things are not better at the school. she has had plenty of No’s before for different things, this was just something she has worked really hard for, but I explained Tring was going to be hard but so is Hammond to be honest

Thank you ☺️

We have explained about retrying again if unsuccessful, we are very very proud of what she has accomplish and done I would never have the confidence to do what she has

Yes she has done auditions before, I think it made it worse for her as she made friends at the auditions with the schools and hearing they got in to finals etc hit her hard. we just keep encouraging her and applying for different things which I know she will love we also need funding and I have explained this to her already which I believe she understands but will still make her upset and think it will me and my DH as well.

yea I think having the no first has given us a knock back and so it’s making the waiting so hard. It’s hard when she hates the local school she’s at but not been there a year yet it’s mainly due to the teacher. But she loves her JA classes in Birmingham. x

So my DD applied and got auditions to Tring and The Hammond these are the two she wanted. so she didn’t get a place at Tring and now waiting on results from the Hammond. She’s nervous now, as she believes she won’t get a place. I’ve explained it’s a hard thing to get into these schools. how do I keep her motivated if she doesn’t get offered a place, she sobbed when Tring said no.
