Swanilda Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Hi Sarahw, Thank youi for sharing the link. DanceMum83, based on 2015/16 RBS annual report 1160 candidates came to audition for RBS JA program last year of which 1011 were girls. 117 girls were admitted across year 4,5,6. In London we had 355 candidates and 26 intake, That equates to only 7 percent admittance rate or 1 of 14 girls being invited to join. 149 boys auditioned for 48 places across all 8 centers fot year 4,5,6. In London 65 candidates compete for 15 places. 23 percent or every fifth boy were lucky to join the program. This year there were 1300 candidates and statistics will appear online at the beginning of next year. There are no published split of how many girls were invited in year 4,5 or 6. You will be able to see it on 9 September at the begining of the class. Congratulations to you and your daughter and her teacher. There is a lot of work done by the team.

sunrise81 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Thanks!!! I was reading an article about it and my daughter saw "Royal Ballet" within it and immediately said she wanted to go see it. Really looking forward to it, and as a teacher myself I thought it was something I needed to support 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SissonneDoublee Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 A quick question for those that have already started classes: how do you take the skirt to class? In a costume bag? I can't quite bear to shove it in the dance bag with shoes and water bottle! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthE Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 So the best advice one can give a little girl who aspires to be a JA is to move to Eastleigh and become a boy... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletmum22 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 What did everyone do with the hair ribbons? I bought two but it now looks like they are too long. Is it okay to cut one ribbon in two or would they end up too short? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it okay to cut one ribbon in two or would they end up too short? Some make very small bows with theirs and some are huge so I'd say it was personal choice as there are no instructions and various takes on the bows that I've seen! I went with medium size for the first term (so about 5/6" bow) and then we went gradually smaller as dd got older x eventually we saw that dancique in Birmingham made pre-made blue bows on a clip in the royal blue ribbon so we changed to those and saved a good 10 minutes each Saturday trying to get it 'just so'! All the teachers I've come across at JAs are extremely friendly and relaxed with the children and the parents so don't worry xxx Hope all the Dc have a fabulous first class xx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it will stay on the clip and won't have to keep re-doing it every week! DD started last weekend in Manchester (loved it lots!). Miss Agar told us to cut the ribbon into 4 parts to make small bows. I'd only cut it in half so my bows were too big although I wasn't named and shamed! However, she did make the girls kneel down in a line, wearing their National skirts, to check the length. She then pointed out that some mums had to get the needle and thread out to shorten them! Thankfully ours was fine. Remember to take a white hand towel for them to lie on for exercises! I also forgot that but I wasn't alone!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
