balletbrokemybank Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Sorry if this has been done before but I couldn't really find the answers when I did a search. We are currently doing our applications for Yr7 for RBS, Elmhurst, Tring and Hammond. We have done the photos but can anyone tell me what they are looking for from the photos and poses. In a couple ds seems to have slightly unsymmetrical arms. His dance teacher seems to think this will be fine but should we just redo do them to get everything perfect? I have absolutely no experience of dance and am very new to all of this so have no idea of their importance or what they are looking for.

Picturesinthefirelight Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 No one really knows. Some people think it's just for reference - my personsl guess is they are checking for any obvious physical problem that might need investugsting but in reality who knows. What does seem to be a consensus though is that it's the audition itself not the photos that really matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amos73 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I would agree Pictures that it is the audition which really matters - although I can't help thinking it makes sense to get the best possible photos you can! It is the visual reference they are left with and you want to show your DC in the best possible light in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Photos are very stressful. If your teacher is happy then they'll be fine and be glad you don't have to try again! I agree with PITF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirrups36 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 It's the audition that matters. Photos are usually just for use a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy11 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 We did ours at home! I think photos are just for reference to be honest, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance*is*life Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Worst is when they are chosen just on the photos with no audition! I can't tell you how many photos I have taken for the Royal Ballet School summer course and rejected......and even so most of the time the kids are rejected on those photos, because they are so difficult to get perfect. I have had really good students, who just could not balance the a la seconde and arabesque pose in pointe shoes. The ones who are in the inbetween age who have to do the senior photos are really unlucky. A few months younger and you get to do it a terre in bare feet!
