Nana Lily Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thank you so much for finding this! I thought it was lost forever in the archives of the BBC. I really enjoyed it when it was broadcast, especially as my elder DD had just started in Y7 and I was missing her dreadfully, it gave me a little window into her new life.

mimi'smom Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I echo Nany Lily heartfelt thanks! We watched this avidly when it was on the tv as my daughter had just started on the year 4 PVP - now she is about to join the school we shall both watch it with renewed interest! Thanks so much!

JulieW Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I know that Becca went to Kate Simmons Dance School and Adam to ENBS. I think Michael's at Millennium and didn't Dominic go to Hammond. Don't know about Joseph - possibly still at Elmhurst! I'm sure someone will know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa O`Brien Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I have always really liked the look of the Elmhurst students,particularly the girls.They all have lovely long necks. This is how, for as long as i can remember,dancers and students, have looked. Don`t understand the Royal Ballet School, in recent years,with their preoccupation with students with shorter necks. Personally,i don`t think it looks as attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taximom Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Just watched the whole thing and thouroughly enjoyed it. Living quite close to Elmhust and knowing a few of the past and present pupils made it doubly interesting. Also know 3 of the teachers, 2 of them having taught my DD so even more interesting!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 It's got its good and bad points like any school, but all-in-all we've loved it and I'm really sad that our association with it is coming to an end (I know I could be a "friend" but it's really too far to just pop along for special events ). White Lodge was lovely too - we've been so lucky to have experienced both 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks for posting the Elmhurst video. I've heard of this programme but I've never seen it before. I had no idea Elmhurst was so modern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildflowers Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I know that Becca went to Kate Simmons Dance School and Adam to ENBS. I think Michael's at Millennium and didn't Dominic go to Hammond. Don't know about Joseph - possibly still at Elmhurst! I'm sure someone will know If Joseph the youngest one, then I believe he is joining Whitelodge for yr 10?? I could have misunderstood DD and it's another boy in his year. We watched this first time round just before DD started in yr 7, look forward to watching it again to see how it seems now we know a tiny bit more!!

JulieW Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 There is another Joseph I think so not sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 And meant to say - didn't those sixth form girls make a lovely corps de ballet as the Willis from Giselle. I thought that when I saw them live - but watching that clip gave me goosepimples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BankruptMum Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 It is that Joseph moving to WL Y10 in Sept. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybeans Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Sounds like none of them are still at the school then! Is the turnover normally that high or is this just a coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks Bankruptmum - I knew someone would know. And Jellybeans - no, the turnover really isn't that high, but quite a variety of reasons why these particular children didn't stay 2+ years on: Becca because of the rehab course she wanted; Adam changed for sixth form; Michael as we heard in the programme went to a performing arts college; Joseph off to WL; and Dominic we knew from the start of the programme was having difficulty with funding so had to leave but happily is now at Hammond. It gives an interesting insight into the fact that there are many different reasons why someone might leave, but the majority of students get a place in year 7 (or after) and stay until year 11 and some onto sixth form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlady Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Dominic is still at Hammond, now in year 10 with my dd. Not sure what his plans for the future are though. T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoobydigger Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) If Joseph the youngest one, then I believe he is joining Whitelodge for yr 10?? I could have misunderstood DD and it's another boy in his year. We watched this first time round just before DD started in yr 7, look forward to watching it again to see how it seems now we know a tiny bit more!! you could be correct in that assumption 'wildflowers' .... my DD is currently @ WL .... we recently had our Summer Fair ... I mentioned to one of the other mums that on 'seeing Joseph' saying I am sure that was the lad in the Elmhurst Doc. then penny drops now did wonder how come he was there ... did wonder if he was a brother/fiend of a current student ...... small world Edited June 27, 2012 by hoobydigger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
