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 Yes, same here.

MummytoIzzy Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Congratulations I assume if your on a SWL they would have told you. I'm not sure about Elmhurst as we were told Plymouth offered 2 places last year one declined as they lived to far. I don't believe if was offered out again. Hth.

TinyNEDancer Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 How would you know how many places have been offered, out of interest? Does anyone have the numbers for Sunderland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Does anyone know what date they start in September? Just found out my DD has a Taekwondo grading on first Saturday of September (usually they are on Sundays). Obviously Elmhurst comes first but really hoping they don't clash. I guess we will be sent some info soon about dates, cost, uniform etc. I still know nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually follow Elmhurst school terms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairydust Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 we have decided not to, only because DD will be going to RBS in the afternoon and we would prefer her to have a rest in between ballet classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spamcat Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hi all, I guess you have all had the email with all the forms and uniform info? How exciting! Does anyone know what the leotard sizing is like? My DD is about to turn 8 and quite petite. I don't know whether to go for a 6-7 or 8-10? She currently fits a size 1 in Freed Rad leotard. Thanks. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrid Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hi @Spamcat ours arrived today! I went for 8-10 and it fits just right (6-7 would have been way to small in length)! Tracksuit is a bit baggy but she will grow into it - the bottoms are quite big round waist but don’t fall down. We got 7-8. ballet shoes we got the narrow fit and they fit about the same as her current ones and are ok (we got size 3, she is a 2 in normal shoes). Jazz shoes - she is a 2 and we got a 5 (website said to). They are a bit big as she has such narrow feet but they are alright. We got 7-8 in jazz shorts and they are great with a bit of room to spare. Hope that helps?! DD is 128cm. exciting! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Oh thank you @Astrid that is really helpful! I've not had much luck with ballet shoes lately for both my kids, sizing in all brands is so different! Ive had to send so many back. My DD is 126cm so I think I'll go for the 8-10 too then or it won't fit her for long. Jazz shoes did you get the lace up or the slip ons? Shorts is it the unisex black shorts pictured on the boy? I can't see any 'Jazz shorts' on the website. Thank you!!! 😘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrid Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 @Spamcat yes the jazz shorts are the boys shorts, I needed help with that too! the ballet shoes are satin Bloch if that’s any help as well? we got the lace up ones because she has such narrow feet I thought it would mean I could pull them in more - which has actually helped as they would have been a bit baggy on the sides otherwise! They are Bloch as well. DD loves it all! I have to say it’s all really good quality. she can’t wait to get going! 💃🏼 Xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyNEDancer Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Ooh exciting to know your uniform order has arrived @Astrid! I wonder if ours has arrived when we get back from summer school...?! Good to know we went for the right size in the leotard!! Will be interested to see how the tracksuit fits 😬 @Spamcat good luck with the order!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairydust Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 many thanks @Astrid how long are the bottoms? DD is slightly taller 129cm, not sure what to go for, think the larger tracksuit will be far too big around the waist? I think we may take a trip down there later in August to try them on x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrid Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hi @Fairydust! I reckon it would be fine? The waist is pretty big and sits on her hips more so think it would be ok? The bottoms are also zip up. The top is also quite baggy? I did try and PM you a picture but I can’t work our how to do it 😂... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spamcat Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I am expecting to have to take the waist in on the tracksuit. We always have this problem, all her leggings are age 8-9 but taken in and skirts she wears age 5-6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Spamcat, we always had this issue too - very long legs and a very petite frame meant that any leggings/trousers etc which were long enough were comically huge around the waist, hips and bottom. Gap’s Long and Lean jeans and leggings were the only ones which ever came close to looking ‘normal’ - and then they stopped selling this range! Thank goodness that waists can be taken in 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Not long now! How exciting. I was just wondering, did you all get the excersise mats and therabands? Which strength of theraband did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In at the deep end Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hi everyone! I apologise for the stupid question, but the time has almost come to start applications for RBS JA, Ballet Boost BBA and Elmhurst Junior dancers. I'd like to see them all, just to get a feel for each and I think it would be a good experience for both me (no dance background!!) and my daughter? Could I confirm that Elmhurst is every Saturday? The others are about once a month? Many thanks x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some centres have the option of 24 lessons. But it is def more than once a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In at the deep end Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Thanks for your answers! We're near Bristol. I know someone in BBA Devon, and have seen the timetable there. I'm just trying to weigh up which would be do-able. I'm not expecting her to get in, but don't want to waste anyone's time by auditioning for somewhere we couldn't commit to, should the chance arise!

I was going to say, the BBA timetables are on their websites, helpfully! Sure someone could send you a copy of the others on this forum. We’re in the north rather unhelpfully!
