richieN Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi All,  Obvious question here, but if you don't ask....  In my DD's invitation, they mention that on Saturday afternoon, some dancers may be asked to remain for a final recall class (call back) Is this when they need a further viewing to make decisions - or are we getting final results on the day?

Hi, from all I gather from reading old chats about it the recall is then they are not sure ... then they sure it is a yes or sure it is no- no recall... it is a maybe who get recalled ...Just from reading in this forum old chats... nothing first hand!

amos73 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Yes, the recall group at finals are the undecided. Definite yeses and nos don't go into the recall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbiemum Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 So really you come out of the audition none the Wiser , is there then some pecking order if they do get a place with the ones not in the call back knowing they were not up there with the children that got a place with no call back ? It all seems so cut throat for children so young . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreverdrivingtodance Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 If my child got a place not sure I would care how they got it!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful???? Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I think the yes is a yes it doesn't matter if they took a second look in recall... also some will be on waiting list and if they join eventually they are equal to those who got a yes right away ... bottom line is important I think... some who were not recalled and maybe get a yes can be assessed later and some who would be recalled and get a yes will be brilliant at WL ... so a yes is a yes ... doesn't matter recalled or not really!... maybe the child didn't show his full potential and the panel were really great to give a child a second chance to shine really in recall... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum55 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) I don't think we can know either way and it's almost not worth thinking about as you could drive yourself mad! ???? I think if they get a place it won't matter if it was following a call back or not. It would just be too amazing and no-one really knows this year what the call back means, only the teachers and they could have very different reasons for calling different children back. Like everything I think we need to sit back, enjoy the ride and try not to analyse as none of us ultimately will ever know. ...(and I m saying this to myself as much as anyone else as I overthink everything but trying hard not to!) Xxxxxx sending good luck to all the finalists, what lucky girls and boys they are xxxxx  (Edited to add boys too ????) x Edited February 19, 2017 by Balletmummy55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skintdancemum Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 What will be will be . It's a privilege to be attending finals and Will just be a fantastic experience . If they decide it's not the right time for my dd then it will mean I don't have to miss her and can keep her all to myself ! Good luck to everyone attending and enjoy it ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waitingmum Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Absolutely- it makes no difference whether they are in the call back if they get a yes in the end. Sometimes they get called back because the panel didn't quite seem them do something and they want to check before making a decision. Once in no one takes any notice of whether in the call back or a straight yes - they are all on a level playing field and straight back to basics!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junedancer Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 And there are the ones who apply for summer school and are luck enough to get a place and then get an offer of WL post summer school - it is not unheard of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArucariaBallerina Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 junedancer so would it be possible to maybe get a no for WL in the first instance, get a place at summer school and then be given a place after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balletmomma Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Hi, my dc wants to apply for White Lodge but isn't 11 until September. I was under the impression that you had to be in current academic year 6 to apply for full time dance school but a friend of mine says she knows of someone who has been invited to the White Lodge finals and she is still in year 5, the same as my dc. How is this even possible? Edited February 21, 2017 by balletmomma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum55 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi ballet momma. Anything is possible I suppose, but it would be very unusual as they'd skip a year of education too. Is the child an international student? You are correct in that auditions for year 7 entry are for current year 6 children. Good luck to your dd next year xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherbert Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Balletmomma. Fake news and misinformation from friends of friends is rife amongst the ballet schooling world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbiemum Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's most definately not fake news , the little girl in question is very advanced and was moved up a year in her Ja class and has therefore been allowed to audition with her ja class a year earlier than usual .

Lema Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Wow that's amazing news, I've never hear of anyone skipping up a year!! Wonder how that would work with her missing a whole year of education though, didn't even realise that was possible!! Good luck to her I say, she must be an incredibly talented little lady!!

Hopeful???? Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) I think in some exceptional cases dc who were spotted by RBS might be invited and it is for sure not unheard of for some dc to be in a class above ... DC is just like yours and we went through normal application process and had to wait for her year 6 to apply... Not a special case indeed ???? Edited February 21, 2017 by Hopeful????

Lema Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yes indeed for those of you auditioning or waiting to audition in the future, don't worry about what other dc are doing or what level they are at etc Each child is an individual and should be treated as such, and just remember there are many roads which lead to Rome 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I know of someone who was taken into RBS into the year above their 'actual' school year, so it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful???? Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 As far as my DD concerned she is flexible: they can place her in her academic year, above or below whatever suits ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieN Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi Everyone, Â Check your inboxes. I've just had final confirmation email, with the full weekend schedule and requirements. This answers everything. Great documents. I'm sure this will fill in any gaps you may have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherbert Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Later years are more flexible. For the MDS the child must be 11 at the start of the year - September (8 for music schools). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regattah Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 My sister started at WL at 10 - but that was over 30 years ago!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletmomma Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I agree every child is unique and some peak earlier than others etc. But I believe that there are indeed many talented children whose parents believe what they read and that is in order to be eligible to audition you have to be in current academic year 6 and be 11 years of age by 31st August. I have known of some super talented youngsters who have made it into White Lodge , Elmhurst and YDA but each of them waited until they met the eligibility criteria.

Newbiemum Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm sure if they're already junior associates that they would be informed if this is something the schools feels is right for that particular individual child . I very much doubt the child in question has peaked I'd like to think she is just ready for the next step just that little bit earlier . I really wouldn't worry about it your DD not going a year early , I personally think it would be quite tough on both the child and parents to leave home at such a young age , your DD's time to audition will come soon around soon enough . Good luck . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
