Jan McNulty 17,141 Posted January 22 Hello Sarahballet and welcome to the Forum! I have moved your post to the more appropriate "Doing Dance" Forum. If you have a look at the "Questions about lower school auditions" and search around the Doing Dance Forum you could find some very useful advice. I've added a couple of tags at the top of the thread that are useful to search on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarahBallet 1 Posted January 22 Thank you so much for your help. I am a novice at this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valentina 163 Posted January 22 I don’t know how far you have to travel or which center you are auditioning at, but I would recommend doing a very good warm up at home and some stretching afterwards. Then wrap up warm to travel. Some of the warm up rooms are very cramped, Manchester for example, and full of nervous mums too - impossible to find any space to do anything! London is more spacious. There was very little warm up in the audition and they went into stretches very quickly. Also, remain calm and focused and look beautiful, plain leotard in flattering colour with reasonably high cut leg line and clean, comfortable shoes that flatter the feet. Lovely neat hair with a small matching ribbon is good.Best of Luck to your Dd. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katia05 129 Posted January 25 We were in London last Sunday for the year 9 entry. Not expecting anything at all, as competition is so fierce, and all the dancers looked so keen and talented, but it was a very positive experience. I'd advise arriving on the early side, as you can then get a spot near the barre in the warm-up room! Don't be put off by super-confident looking students, or those who are already Associates and clearly know the teacher leading the class and the layout etc. It was a very friendly, welcoming atmosphere for everyone, though. Enjoy the occasion. There's a wonderful pianist and the class goes at a rapid pace, so get some good sleep the night before, eat a healthy snack an hour beforehand and bring a large water bottle. Enjoy! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarahBallet 1 Posted January 28 Thank you! Have you had a response yet? Wondering how long the waiting time is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valentina 163 Posted January 28 They don’t send the results until all the sessions have been completed. Usually a few days to a week afterwards. The last session is London yr 7, I think on Sunday? At least, that’s how it’s always been other years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valentina 163 Posted January 28 The results are sent by email. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiaramum 48 Posted January 30 We have auditions for year 7 on Sunday, I think its the last session so results should be shortly after. Good luck to all those entering and waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
