Astrid Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Sorry to hear that @Creakingstool, after our no yesterday DD seemed ok - then I found her crying in her room! which wasn’t great, but today it’s like it hasn’t happened and we are all back to normal, everything forgot about and without the cloud of not knowing hanging over head! they are very resilient these little DC’s! 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creakingstool Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Thanks everyone. She was fine, we had discussed all along that it was such a small chance of a place. Her love of ballet will continue and she's having a great time with her dancing school at the moment. We might try some workshops if we have the chance 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matilda Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Congratulations to everyone who got a yes and hugs to those who gained a no - is there anyone waiting for London? If so, do you know how many places will be for the. New year 5 class ? do the current year 4s move in which makes it harder to get into year 5? My daughter has dances with the English youth ballet - and urgently with the Sussex youth ballet so the royal ballet audition has been our first for the associate program - many thanks Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catlynn Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 @Matilda when did your daughter dance with EYB? My DD auditioned and danced in Coppelia in 2018. We are waiting to hear about a Y6 place in London. Not very hopeful but if you never try, you will never know. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaaRah’s Mum Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 My DD’s friends are waiting on London I’m a complete newby to all this, had no I’d what the JA program was when the teacher suggested she apply, so can’t help with numbers etc but there was an earlier post that had some info on which might help x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Well it was a no for my little student for Manchester too but with yesterday’s Birmingham results! A very upset little girl but mum has said she now wants more classes with me and is going to try again next year! A very determined little girl. Makes me even more proud of my own DD’s success for a yr4 place all those years ago! It’s so so hard to get a place. So many auditioning for so few places. Good luck everyone else waiting and as I said to my ‘mum’ it’s not a no it’s just a not yet 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DD loved EYB and would love to do it again but she also does festivals in the half terms and that could cause an issue in the future. DD didn’t audition last year for JA but two of her ballet friends did. I think one was a “no” and one got on a waiting list but nothing ever came of it. DD was a bit annoyed she wasn’t asked to do it last year so this year, she asked her teacher and her teacher said she should definitely audition. Best of luck to your DD too! Now we wait 😅😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally-Anne Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Looks like Eastleigh tomorrow then - good luck! Congratulations to those with a yes already - And sorry for those with a no. I do agree that sometimes you can find a reason why these things happen. My daughter had her heart set on London Children’s Ballet this year, she got to the final auditions but didn’t get in. But, later she auditioned for an ENO production being choreographed by Wayne McGregor, just 2 solo dancing roles. She got this, and it has been a wonderfully positive experience, and wouldn’t have been possible if she had been in LCB. So if the door closes, somewhere there is a window about to open. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve asked this question before and I think it’s just one of many factors they look for. That alone isn’t enough (of course) but I think it’s a tick of a box. But I’m still learning about all this as DD is very new to all this. I’m sure someone else can give you a better answer. Congratulations to all the people with a yes and keep working hard to the ‘not yet’. They’re all amazing to even put themselves through this.

Ballet2008 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 A little insight - My daughter will complete her third year as a JA and I can honestly say her class from year 4, 5 and 6 was a real mix of ability, shape and size. I think you have to audition with a very open mind as nobody really knows what they look for - It seems to change every year!! Musicality and confidence seems to be high up on the list. My daughter is blessed with very natural turnout, others in her class very flexible and some very strong. It's so hard and doesn't get any easier - I hope all your Beautiful DC's have enjoyed the audition and it's never a NO just a NOT YET 💕 Good Luck to everyone still waiting x 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mummy2BalletFairies Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 do people honestly think eastleigh will be soon? even though london auditions were late and people often put both centres down as options? thought we had weeks to wait for eastleigh. they said END june early July for results...

Hazel Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Yes definitely they go in centre order- as someone said earlier as they had an early result for Manchester because they auditioned in bham. It’s not just London /Eastleigh that have centre crossovers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
