Balletclueless Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi, newbie here. My little one has been lucky enough to gain a place at Birmingham as JA1. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is the difference between JA1, 2 and 3? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletboymum Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 JA 2 is a boys class which is what my son is in 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA2 will be a dedicated boys class for all years, 4/5/6 combined. So JA3 is presumably the Y6 girls class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalletBoysDad Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Yes, @Lily Craggs our grouping is maybe just for Birmingham which seems to have been divided into 3 JA classes. I only discovered the other day that Birmingham will be putting all boy year groups together (JA2), whereas other centres sometimes have a dedicated Y6 class for the boys.

Missdancemum Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hi, can anyone help advise about measuring for the skirt? It says measure from waist to below the knee.. does this mean the bottom of the patella or lower than this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Skirt Length I remember in our first day the girls had to put the skirts and kneel on the floor! The skirt was to touch the floor - no shorted and no longer 🤣 hips that helps 💗 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing unicorn Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I saw on a post yesterday that JA Manchester are moving back to Manchester City Centre! Such a shame, Centrepointe had fabulous Studios!

3littledancers Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hi, I'm not quite a newbie as my son danced with JA last year and this year my daughter will be joining him. But girls' uniform is a whole new ballgame!! I'd be interested in buying a JA character skirt if anyone has one for a tiny 21inch waist? I'm interested to read some centres are now offering boys only classes. My son would love that but its not happening at our centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BattementBatty Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 I have a basically brand new skirt I would like to sell. Would would fit a year 5/6. If anyone is interested I will measure. it’s never been worn in class as she started in year 6 where Sept- March was basically technique and audition prep and then after that we went into the first lockdown. She wouldn’t part with it last year but happy to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumof1 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hi, are there any seasoned JA parents who could advise on if a towel or yoga mat is preferred for class, eg what do most children bring ? a mat seems like such a bulky item to bring. And if it’s a towel , what size ? many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattementBatty Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Depends on the teacher. When my daughter was a London year 6 JA with Miss Krapft she specifically said towel not mat we had an email before classes started with class specific details. She is now an MA and it is may and towel. Edited August 11, 2021 by BattementBatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can pay in full or in monthly instalments but i was wanting to know if you can pay in 2 instalments. I vaguely remember reading that somewhere you can pay in September and December but its not in the handbook. Unless its for another associate course. Hopefully we’ll hear soon. As its not long away, i hope you all your DC’s joining this year have the best time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissEmily Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Do any veteran Eastleigh JAs have any parking tips? Looking on the internet, I can only find maximum two hour stay car parks, which obviously won't be quite long enough. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SissonneDoublee Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It was a while ago for us, but we always used to park at Eastleigh station and walk up to The Point. It’s only about 7-8 minutes, and there is usually plenty of parking on a Saturday. It wasn’t too expensive either, and I think I remember that the rate is for the day, so there was no panic if we overran (stayed behind chatting)!

Tiredtoes Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Does anyone know which class is the year 6, 32 classes in London? (girls) JA4? JA5? And what time it was this term? Trying to plan for next year. Do they combine girls and boys in year 6? Or have separate classes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this they will either start at 2.45 or 3 depending on which class they are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
