youngerZ Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Finally got my dd back from dancing to open her letter.Sadly it was a no,she got put on the reserve list and offered a place at a summer workshop. She was very sad but enjoyed her auditions and glad she tried. So well done to all the yesses and well done to all the this time no children. You all must have something special to get this far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieW Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I've seen on FB this evening that 2 girls from our old dance school have places - I presume as JAs but don't know for definite. My eldest son and my daughter both danced with them as JAs so I have fond memories. DD got to dance in main cast as she used to watch all the rehearsals while waiting for a lift and one of the roses in Alice got injured, and they asked her to step in. The JA dance was a bit disappointing that year so she was really happy!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double trouble Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 No letter here !! Have to wait till mon I suppose ! Congrats to all the yeses and to those with a reserve place you could still get an offer later x???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobag06 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Still waiting... Â Wondering if it's done alphabetically? Some of dd's friends from last year have heard. They are all "B" surnames, whereas we are about halfway through. Â It's either that, or I've also done the second-class-stamps faux pas. Can't even blame the husband for that one, as it was me who sent off the application form. Â Hoping tomorrow brings good news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double trouble Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Think I used second class as that's all I had as we applied few days before the audition ! If it's alphabetical order then we will b waiting as T ! Or have yes and reserve letters gone first and then the NO !! Hope not good luck 2 all waiting xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum4ever Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 We are P surname and heard about JAs yesterday so sounds as if it's more post related than alphabetical. Waiting is so hard, especially when others have news. Fingers crossed for those awaiting the postman tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southerndancemum Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Any more news out there?  I have heard of a 'no' as well of reserves, and yes, so to answer an earlier question, clearly not all that got finals get on the reserve list as a minimum also I also know of people at the start and end of the alphabet with results... however it could be done on audition number??

atacrossroads Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It seems a bit random as my Dd was 943 and we are an 'M' surname and our letter came on Saturday, we also know of a T' surname getting a letter on Saturday. Good luck to all those still waiting for their letter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double trouble Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Just got DD letter she has reserve ! I'm disappointed but she told me after audition that the talent was amazing so she won't be upset . Don't expect many will be turning down a place ? Congrats to all that have a yes you should be very proud and let's hope some of us on reserve get a chance . Do u know if everyone gets on reserve if not placed ?? Xx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xx  Oh double trouble I am sorry to hear that.  Wow that's tough.  I would have thought that older dancers would have much more chance of having a part   I would imagine there would be a few not taking the place.  Wonder if its worth ringing to see what the likelihood is?x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southerndancemum Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Got in last night to our letter... DD got a yes with residential - she is super excited - i am super shocked LOL 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum4ever Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 My DD (age 10) has also been given a residential place. She is SO excited about 10 days at Tring, having boarded there at Easter on their dance course. Â Anyone else got a JAs who will be staying?? Â Also, a rather silly question re uniform (which has to be ordered really soon!). It says that they only wear the official JA leotards for press calls and specific rehearsals. So, I wondered how many uniform leotards are needed for the 10 day stay?? DD has loads of other leotards so don't want to order more than necessary but equally don't want her being short of fresh dance wear through the stay!!

DancingForJoy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Only 1 official NYB Leotard is needed. Â Also, all dirty vocational dancewear will be taken to laundry on a daily basis, so please make sure you have you child's name on everything from socks, underwear, leotards etc as this will then be given back to your child at the end of the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
