Spamcat Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thank you @Pinkpip100 that is really helpful. My DD is very excited about her taster lesson tomorrow. She has a stinking cold and has been quite ill today and had to stay off school. I know she wouldn't miss it for the world though, so I hope she'll be ok tomorrow! Getting ready for the early start tomorrow to get there for 8.45, about 1hr 40 mins journey. @Pinkpip100 do you know if we can park on site in the morning? At the audition we had to park at the cricket ground. @Fairydust my DH is taking her tomorrow. Look out for the Dad with very long hair! Hopefully I'll see you next week.

Fairydust Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 @Spamcat DD is so excited too. What a fantastic opportunity for them. Looking forward to meeting you all, will look out for long haired man 😂😂😂 I have short dark a-symmetrical hair. My DH will be there with us for September classes. So lovely to get such support from others too xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spamcat Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thanks Pinkpip! Fairydust we must have been at the same audition so might recognise you.

Spamcat Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 My DD was in the free class this morning. She said her class was only the new kids. That there were somewhere between 12 and 16 and they were all girls. She made a new friend who she remembered from the audition. She said it was amazing and she loved it! ❤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara Eschler Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Thank you spamcat! My son also said it was amazing. The new kids were only 6 for year 5 entry and 5 were there today. Just out of curiosity, any boys in your dd group? It is all so exciting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spamcat Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 My DD is yr is 4 and so maybe they do the years separately. Also her good friend who has got in is a boy also yr 4 and we are really hoping they will be in the same class but he has been given the 22nd and 29th for free lessons so not looking good. (We have this week and 15th). What time was your class? Ours was 8.45. Does anyone know if yr 4 girls and boys are separated or together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairydust Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 DD also attended this morning from 8.45, year 4 new girls class (no boys) although not ALL of the new year 4 girls were there. She also recognised girls from audition, which is lovely. She came out with the biggest smile, absolutely loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Fairydust they must have been in the same class? We just got a bit more information our of DD. She demonstrated a beautiful butterfly dance routine that they learnt. It looked amazing! I can't believe they learnt that in 1 hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spamcat Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 That's lovely that they enjoyed it so much! (Did you spot the long haired bloke? 😂) She has her heart set on Elmhurst now so I don't think the RBS results matter any more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyNEDancer Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 @Astrid, @Fairydust, @Spamcat And anyone else that might be able to help! My DD has her audition soon, she has just asked me a couple of questions that I don't know the answer to... How many children are in each audition? How many places are there? It would be for a Y4 place. Thank you for any insight 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 @TinyNEDancer so sorry I didn't see this earlier, we were at Elmhurst this morning for a taster class and this afternoon at her Nan's birthday party! I guess it is too late now. We still haven't actually figured out much about the classes and we've been to 2 tasters! In her audition I think there was about 20 something but DD can't remember. She said it was all pretty basic stuff. I hope your DD enjoys her audition and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel so much more in the dark about this one than others! How was this morning? Did your DD enjoy it? Thank you again. I’ll let you know how it goes 😬🤞🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farawaydancer Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 @TinyNEDancer the y4 audition in Sunderland usually has around 25-30 in each audition class. The class sizes for each year group tend to be between 8 and 12, but there’s no set number. The teacher is very lovely and your dd will have a fabulous time. Good luck to her!

Spamcat Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 @TinyNEDancer oh ok I misunderstood and thought it was today! My DD preferred the Elmhurst audition. She said the judges were much more smiley! I think she has got muddled up now about what happened at which audition but it was all quite similar stuff I think. I'll tell you what I remember. She had to improvise with arms I remember. Lots of skipping and lots of stretches. They didn't have to take their socks off at Elmhurst. She has absolutely loved her two taster classes! So if your DD gets in would her class be in Sunderland or Birmingham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
