Meglorien Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 We auditioned on Wednesday (for a Y5 place), is that the second day or the 3rd? Because I know people auditioned on Friday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we're expecting a no, but it's still rather nerve wrecking, especially because we have an extremely good offer on the table for a different associates programme and I can't really postpone answering them any longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We auditioned second day this year, but last day last year, for a Y4 place and, like you, we got the email at 4:15 on 21st. So we may have to wait for Wednesday again.

My daughter is very small (120 cm) and thin, the smallest child in her year group at school (90 kids) by far. She said that pretty much everyone in that group was smaller / shorter than her, some looked like 5-6 year olds. I just can’t wrap my head about this and I think she might be an unreliable witness. They must be 8 by September and can’t be any younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazel Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I think that was the youngest audition group....I know they run them in age order. So possibly girls in there who won’t be 8 until just before end August but I don’t think they would have anyone younger in. Did you not see them going in to the audition yourself? If your daughter is also one of the youngest in her year that might be why she’s smallest at school but not necessarily smallest among a whole bunch of other late summer birthday children?

I shouldn’t even think about this kind of stuff, but the wait is doing a number on my mind. (No, the football game didn’t help either. 😭) I totally know what you mean. My DD was in the Thursday auditions and is not necessarily that tall (I would say on the taller size of average). If it’s true it’s in age order she was pretty much one of the bigger numbers of the group, and I think the bigger the number the younger, she looked like an absolute giant compared to the others. And bearing in mind this was Thursday, I saw girls who looked like they were 5-6 too - in fact, a lot did! Good news for the smaller girls is that I know a few girls who got places from auditions different centres (but at least 2 for London places 😫) and most of them looked absolutely minuscule. They look about 1-2 years younger than my own DD. Speaking of which I have been quite calm so far but getting a bit worried because I have heard of DCs getting London places from other audition venues and i keep thinking there’s already very few spaces in London. I know it’s a bigger centre but lots more audition there too 😓 I am seriously overthinking this but I’ve spoken to other mums who are getting equally worried. See? This is what waiting does to the mind! I’m sure RBS has some magic formula to allocate places by centre etc. but can’t help but be a bit worried - not that I am confident my DD would get a place (quite the opposite, but she’s still a little star in eyes).

balletmadmama Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) PS: part of me is also very curious and which is why I want this wait to end already. My DD told me the panel did a lot of looking at the DCs at the beginning of the class. And I’ve always heard rumours of what they look for. My DD, much as I think she’s a lovely little dancer, would rate distinctly average on all the physical attributes that have been said RBS looks for - she’s not too tall but not too short, slim but not tiny, no swaybacks, no banana feet, so-so flexibility, long but not THAT long legs etc. The tiny DDs I saw during audition day were little but quite long legged proportionally. On paper and in theory, after the physical inspection, physically my DD should have slowly melted into the background after that first hurdle. She does have strong points in other aspects of ballet so I would say she might have a teeny tiny glimmer of a chance.

I just saw the Associates dancing at the fair on Saturday, I took a good look and trust me, there were all kids of bodies there. I think the only thing they had in common was that none of them had any extra weight on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopelessMummy Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) My dd was in one of the last two auditions London last year, applying for a year 4 place. She was 115cm, was born in late spring and was wearing 6yo clothes. Edited June 19, 2018 by HopelessMummy Extra info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
