Mummy2BalletFairies Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Just now, Hazel said: 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 oh heavens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise81 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Just had a look back on my emails and last year I got the handbook and term dates sent to me (as an existing JA parent) on the 19th June for Leeds......won't be too much longer! Plus I need to order new uniform so I wish they would hurry up 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkpip100 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Just wondering if anyone has ever been successful in getting feedback from JA auditions? My DD has just had a ‘no’ for the 3rd year running - in my mind that means she definitely does not have what the Royal Ballet are looking for. But her teacher is already saying she needs to keep ‘plugging at it’ as she thought she stood a real chance this year. My DD is already saying she might want to try for the Mid Associates next year... but my gut feeling is that if the RB have said no this many times, there is something about her physique or dancing ability that isn’t right for them. She successfully auditioned for another associate scheme last year (Y5) and will continue that for Y6. It just feels unfair to let her audition for the MAs (and to pay the application fee!) if she absolutely doesn’t stand a chance. Feedback from her audition would be so helpful!

Pretty sure we will be in exactly the same position in a few days. I believe parents are not permitted to seek feedback about JA auditions. Do you have any idea what might be stopping her? If so, is it something that is likely to change? Her teacher is probably in the best position to advise you about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointeshoesarethedream Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Good luck for all those waiting for Eastleigh today. I’m on edge waiting for Leeds wondering if it’ll be today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachers send their very best students from around the UK. Of those, the RBS picks one out of 10 (about). You don’t have to have anything “wrong with you” not to be chosen. They pick the outstanding ones who had a lucky day. Even the outstanding ones who have a off day are out. Edited June 13, 2019 by ExpatB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margarite Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I know some incredible dancers who were never picked for JA. Talent and potential plays a huge part, but there is also an element of luck involved. Good luck everyone ☘️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hopeful, as assuming there are few Y6 places, but you never know. She is keen to try for MA if unsuccessful so that will be her next step. Good luck and let’s hope they throw in a surprise today! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfin Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Big congratulations to all the lucky little dancers who have had good news this week and good luck to those still waiting. It’s worth remembering though that a no from RBS at this age (or any age!) does not mean a no to a successful future in classical ballet, just as a yes does not guarantee one. There are many glorious roads to the fulfilment of ballet dreams and as someone said in an earlier post, the closing of one door can lead to the opening of another 😊 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I think earlier in the thread a couple of people mentioned that they got SWL then got a call to offer a place.
