Spamcat Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) @Cazsmith it was really quick, she auditioned on Sat 18th and they said results by end of week but I'm pretty sure it was Tuesday 28th we got the email. Yes she loved the taster thanks Edited June 16, 2019 by Spamcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Thank you! That’s so helpful. Eek. I’ll let you know how it goes 😬 Edited June 16, 2019 by TinyNEDancer Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyNEDancer Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 18 hours ago, Spamcat said: @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? Brilliant!! Thank you for all of your help. It would be Sunderland. I’ll update on here when we have some news 🤞🏼😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrid Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hi @TinyNEDancer I think @Spamcat has already answered quite a lot above but there was 3 groups auditioning for year 4 (we were group 3). I’m not sure how many in our class yet but my husband took her to the taster and said about 15 possibly more. Both DD and I had a much nicer time at elmhurst auditions, we were both more relaxed which helped, it was very welcoming and I met some nice mums @Spamcat being one of them! I think I have mentioned previously that DD isn’t the most flexible or the best technically but she does have a lot of enthusiasm 😅 so I think the best thing she can do is to enjoy it as much as possible 🙂 (easier said than done)! xxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MummytoIzzy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) My daughter had her Elmhurst associate audition in Plymouth this morning. She thought Miss Lindsey was lovely and she really enjoyed the audition. It was just over an hour and 45 minutes long. She has returned home demonstrating what she did. Lots of skips, gallops, dancing to the music with what they felt (emotion), stretches, barre work and some spinning skips. She did say she had a correction at one point. To me this is a good thing as a audition/lesson is to also show they can listen. to instruction and correction (I hope). It's going to be a long week waiting. She tried her best and had a great time and I would recommend auditioning to anyone as it was a very positive experience for her. Having only started with her ballet school in January and going into her first associate audition I think this was a perfect fit. I just hope they feel the same Good luck everyone!

stardust1 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 We have just received our email from Manchester at the weekend....DD got a yes for Yr6. Really pleased for her but I doubt we'll be able to take it up as she was lucky enough to also get RBS in Birmingham Anyone know if it's possible to transfer from Manchester to Birmingham for Elmhurst as we are Midlands based so RBS makes more sense?

Must have felt like forever at the time Much quicker than the RAD at least. A few girls have applied from our school. I hope one of them gets in for morale. They all work so hard bless them and are such lovely dancers. X Thank you for the luck if not this year we will try again next year.

Spamcat Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 @MummytoIzzy my DD isn't 8 until end of August and she got in. There seemed to be quite a few new year 4s. Her friend who is a very good dancer applied for yr5 though and didn't get in, I guess there are less places as the yr 4s are all going up. We also heard 10 days after the audition. A lot quicker than RBS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had provisionally accepted but we've had a RBS JA offer now and another associate offer too, so can't do Elmhurst, all a bit surreal really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
