Dancing Kitty Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Good news in our household to brighten up the day. After SWL for both JAs and MAs and for this year's Spring and Summer courses a yes for SAs.

My Dd is really despondent and says if she cant get a place on mids the Elmhurst wont be happening?! Can anyone help me cheer her up! Giving her the stats isn't working at the moment!

Skintdancemum Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Year 10 SA place at Birmingham for my DD 🙀 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katia05 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 No for dd for SA London - oh well, she enjoyed the audition anyway! All good practice. After three attempts, it looks like it's always going to be a no so maybe that's the end of the Royal journey, but was fun! Well done to all the 'yes' recipients! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancemum1 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Congratulations to all who have been offered places, my daughter has been placed on the "short wait list" for year 7 mids, is this just a term they use for all who applied but we're un successful or is it really a shortened list? No previous experience of all of this so sorry of it sounds a silly question? 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Now that’s the million dollar question! I can assure you that there are various terms used as have had then all so cecDD applied for JA’s, MA’s, SA’s & Spring& Summer courses... we’ve had no’s, one yes (Spring) and then a variety of ‘wait list’ terms.... non of which have materialised into offer of a place.... these have been ‘Select Wait List’, ‘Short Wait List, ‘Priority WaitvList’ & ‘Director’s Wait List’ ( which sounded very grand as it listed that Mr X as inviting her to be on the list!!!) Personslly I think these are all one & the same List & if any places become available they will be offered to the ‘best fit’ candidate off whichever wait list...ie. a ten year old boy will be replaced by another ten year old boy. I’ve wondered if the different wait list names just depend on who did the email out that year for that group or indeed if they have fun making us all guess the order of priority! 🤣🤣😧😧😭😭 Do wish though that they’d adopt one term & it be more transparent & understandable & stop the (very natural) human nature response to wonder if X kid is ahead of Y kid in the ‘pecking order’!!! The key word to remember is these are kids being ‘judged/graded/rejected/given hope’. And most of their non dancing peers never get judged this way....though I’m sure it’s replicated where kids apply to join any form of elite sports/music etc training. Good luck to all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancemum1 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 @Peanut68 🤣 they probably pop on these forums to have a look at us guessing their terminology. Waiting game it is then, wishing everyone all the very best of luck and those with no's and maybes, your time will come I am sure xxx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanceMum83 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Sorry if this had been asked! but do most people get told they’re on the shorting waiting list for mids? Do some get a straight no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some get a straight no? I should imagine that statistically most of those that audition get a "no" based on the relative numbers of applications and places available. (In our household we have had more than one "no" for RBS). A SWL place is a brilliant achievement in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some get a straight no? As said earlier, we’ve had lots of straight ‘no’ emails plus then a variety of titled wait lists & one hallowed (couple of years ago spring course) yes! Never got a place for either SA’s/Summer from any of those hallowed wait lists....but hoping this could be the year! Ironically, if it did happen not 100% sure doable but hey, ever the optimist 😀!

Twinkletoes12 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi, my dd is on the short wait list for SAs having never auditioned before so she’s over the moon! DD is hoping that she will get a place but what are the chances? Anyone know how many are actually on the wait list? Trying not to be negative but just want to manage her expectations! Any advice would be fab - we’re v new to all this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niknik10 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks. My ds originally auditioned for Newcastle but as they will now be doing mids in Dundee we have changed him to that centre so I’ve just found out that we need to wait until everyone has auditioned for Dundee 🤦♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Good luck! That happened to a pupil of mine many years ago. She auditioned for Bath and then they announced that there would be a Mids class in Poole as well as the JA one. So she was put on the waiting list for Poole until the auditions had taken place. She got her place. After she had finished both classes moved to Eastleigh and then the Mids class was dropped after another year. Such a shame!
