Coryphée Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I hope you hear soon. I can't wait to pick DD up from school and let her know. This will be the icing on the cake of an amazing week for her. She got the results of her grade 3 ballet exam yesterday and got a 98, so is flying high at the minute. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southerndancemum Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Taxi - from what i hear there are quite a few vocational students involved full stop, not just seniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harwel Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 A friend has asked me whether many vocational upper school students do NYB - anyone know? Last year I know of a few upper school students doing NYB from Tring and Rambert. No doubt others too but not to my personal knowledge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum4ever Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 A friend has asked me whether many vocational upper school students do NYB - anyone know? I cannot claim to be an expert, but I understand that there are a lot of vocational students given that the rehearsals and performances are in the summer holidays. DD and I went to the Gala last year and there were certainly lots of participating vocational schools listed in the programme including Central, Elmhurst, Legat, Northern, Rambert, Hammond, Tring and YDA. DD was quite star struck when we went to the Tring open day and she recognised some of the older students who had lead roles in the NYB show!! Given that we've not been directly involved, I couldn't comment on the ratios of vocational to non-vocational but I'm sure that others can!

Lilac Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 DD took part with the upper age group last year. In that category the majority were at vocational school, so not surprisingly tended to have the major roles and the higher number of dances. DD does associates. After the final audition if you get a casting letter it will be worth seeing how much they're offered. Quite a lot to commit to if only one dance as was the case with one non vocational student, at the same time the summer school part is challenging and enjoyable DD found.

aballetlife Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 hi, I was wondering is the initial audition just a regular ballet class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum4ever Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Yes, just a ballet class, about 45 mins. It looked like quite a mix of ages in DDs group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atacrossroads Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi, my DD who is 14 was at the last day of auditions on Sunday and got a recall letter today, but for Sunday 8th May. Is it the younger ones being recalled on the 1st May only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum4ever Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Congrats to your DD Atacrossroads. 1st May is Junior Associates Finals and 8th is Main Cast Final (12+ I believe). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petalviolet Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Room for one more? You know when Indiana Jones just manages to duck and roll underneath the closing Temple of Doom doors... It is with that sort of manoeuvre DD scrapes into NYB JA finals from the last audition this Sunday. Phew. She's ok..grazed knees...pursued by some angry tribesmen with spears.. par for the course, really. Edited March 16, 2016 by Petalviolet 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southerndancemum Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Every junior we know that auditioned had been offered recalls for the 1st. I have not heard of a single no letter. Anyone heard how many are likely to be there and how many they will take thru? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coryphée Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I know of a few JA 'No' letters from the first and last auditions. It would be interesting to know how many will get through. All very exciting, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
