Flower 4 Posted March 17 Goodness I hope they do. Got a hotel paid for and don’t think I can take much more of this waiting game. 🤞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lottie77 29 Posted March 17 I would expect that as long as the schools are still open then it will go ahead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dizzyalice 7 Posted March 17 I’m new to this forum, hi!! I’ve just received the email about Elmhurst finals still taking place but I’m worried it’s not classed as essential travel. My daughter and I were meant to be travelling by train, now I’m thinking of driving just to avoid public transport. What about those who can’t attend because they are in self isolation - do you think they would get another audition date? It’s all very up in the air, isn’t it and I’m sure that there will be those who will not be able to travel, due to self-isolation, where does that leave them? Corona virus is getting very scary and causing all sorts of mayhem 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flower 4 Posted March 17 I think if people can’t get there they will look at the videos they took in the first auditions. X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotaClue 10 Posted March 17 Such a difficult call to make ... everyone in the dance world seems to be closing their doors ... however, the latest email today confirmed the Final Auditions were planned to go ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, definitely a tough decision, my daughter really wants to audition, as do all of the finalists, it just seems surprising that all others are cancelled/postponed other than Elmhurst. I am sure we aren’t the only ones concerned about travelling, there’s still another day before the audition and things are changing so fast every day. I guess I will wait to see the alternative and hope that they will accept a video audition. Edited March 17 by dizzyalice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With everyone closing dance schools, theatres etc etc and non essential travel being advised to stop ... I question should I be travelling and staying in a hotel 😫😫 but I have a daughter who really wants to go. it seems so strange for it to be the only thing continuing? glad I’m not the only one wobbling about this ... xxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flower 4 Posted March 17 I think Tring is still doing all theirs. And then of course schools are still open so ..... Also what about The Hammond? I don’t think they have cancelled and that’s not until Wednesday next week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammond still on as off last night, all 16+ students sent home as all live away from the Hammond where as under 16’s are in the boarding houses so can be self contained, hygiene is also very strict at Hammond with anti bac in each studio etc ...... DD is now having an extended Easter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The school is still active online, setting work for students and in regular contact with parents, so hopefully the closure won’t affect results coming out. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise81 168 Posted Saturday at 18:50 Just trying to comfort my DD. Does anyone know anyone at Elmhurst who auditioned for Royal and either got a no or swl for mids? She is feeling very down and I need to pick her up again with some good news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is feeling very down and I need to pick her up again with some good news. My DD is hoping for the same @sunrise81, she didn’t get WL finals but did get swl for mids (which she was really happy about as hadn’t expected it after not getting to finals). She is desperate to get a yes from Elmhurst though. I just wish they would hurry up and send the letters out - feels like we’ve been waiting forever!
