Hi I hadnt even realised there was accommodation there. It doesnt seem apparent on their website, I am sure you will be enlightened very soon, this forum is full of lovely people who have lots of experience about lots of things. Ax

Hi my DD got in as a year 4, she was the only one that year, her friend got a swl letter. DD now year 5. Last year there were 3 year 4's got in, two of those had auditioned the previous year and had received a no and a swl. I would say its worth auditioning if your DD wants to even if its just for the experience. My DD really enjoyed the experience. Ax

Well done and congratulations to both your dd and ballet jack too!! Its soo exciting!! Ax

The crb is checked on your addresses and police record if any. It is only as good for on the day it is issued. I was a licensed chaperone last year for eyb, our council was happy to look at my most recent crb plus proof of address and identity. Ax

My youngest did her pre primary they tend to get marked from 1 to 3 in each section 3 being the highest, its more of a little report. No merit or distinction is awarded. Ax

Hi Aurora No worries re copyright etc it was an original as we had to treat with great respect as the set are alot of money hence only viewing a few times!! Ax

Hi our teacher gave the children a dvd and the format of the exam with potential marks. I must admit for both my daughters we only looked at the dvd a few times and they actually didnt take any notice of the written format. I got the impression they had been coached well enough in the format and what was to come that it was more of an enjoyable experience for them. Ax

Wow well done on your will power, i have just got back in from work and am so happy for your family, well done and good luck!! Ax

Hi JA dad Would you not just throw caution to the wind and open it? It must be difficult to sit and stare at an envelope for best part of the day! Would a joint opening of the letter by phone to the rest of your family be feasible?! Ax

Congratulations to spax, theodore, krishell and belijul, good luck and best wishes to those who are waiting and for friday auditions and big hugs to the nos and remember as i love hearing on this forum its only a no for the moment. Ax

Good luck to everyone for your finals!! AX

I hope she makes a full recovery soon, I am aware your DD is very talented at art is she managing to do any at the moment or is there capacity to do some art in hospital? Give her our best wishes. Ax

Wow imagine walking in the boots of Jonathan Cope! Lets hope some of that magic can channel its way billy elliot style!! congratulations on your part! Ax

Hi gazelle my DD also does a mix of styles similar to your DD including mod and tap, one of these styles is also ballroom and she has found that everything in ballroom is opposite to ballet, she is always saying that she has to adjust her brain and body to accommodate the difference in posture and feet. Fortunately she doesnt do enough of it per week for it to affect her ballet posture. I would just probably let her try a few classes of each and see what she thinks. Ax

Congratulations to your DS and his friends. Wishing you lots of luck for the finals. One boy from my DD Jas got both WL and Elmshurst finals too. Ax

Congratulations to all those with DC with yes's and big hugs for the DC with no's and as our more experienced mums on the forum always say its only a no for now. Ax

Lovely news and congratulations to all those with finals offers, great re premier inn rate too!! Big hugs to those with no's as I constantly read on this forum there is always something else that possibly turns out being the correct path in the long run!! Ax

Nice to hear that your ds has a lovely bunch of friends to support him and as you said for you the friends on the forum here. At least you know he has had a lovely time and and you finally spoke with him. Ax

Hi Good luck to all who are audtioning for all courses on Thursday. Remember smile and enjoy. Safe journeys to all. Ax

Hello my DD knows children who go to both of these programs and we have heard quite positive reports from both They appear to be quite different in their delivery. I am aware that one tends to be in the morning and another in the afternoon I suppose to audition for both and see what the outcome is at least you can make a decision then. Your DD may prefer one over the other at audition. There is also JA for a day coming up at various venues with the RBS. Good luck in your decision Ax

Hello and welcome to the forum. I am sure you will receive alot of brilliant advice with regard to Elmhurst. I am aware that the auditioning process has begun for next September 2013's intake as I know some JA's who have just auditioned and are about to this week. It is worth looking on their website for further dates for the next intake. Good luck Ax

Lots of luck, smile and enjoy!! Ax

Further on in the website they are actually advertising auditions for temporary and permanent dancers in the corps de ballet for 16 to 26 year olds. What an amazing opportunity!! Ax I have just realised after finding my glasses that it was 2012 dates and not 2013 as I first thought!! Sorry!

Good luck its nice to know you and your dd had a nice time. Is your dd doing anymore auditions if so keep us posted!!Ax

We are very sorry to hear your news, DD also sends her big hugs, at the moment its important to do whats right for her and youselves as a family. Your DD is a lovely dancer and this whole experience as you say will only make you all more stronger. Ax
