HowMuch! Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hi all, Would anyone mind giving me a brief insight into what they do at the CAT prelim audition. DD has both CAT and associate auditions on Sunday and whilst she’s experienced the associate audition before, I’m wondering what happens in the CAT one. Thank you!

Damedolly Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hi My daughter said it was just a ballet class , she really enjoyed it, for her final audition she had to join in with the girls who were already on the CAT scheme, so just did one of their typical classes. My daughter is older though so think it’s a bit different , my youngest is auditioning Sunday and I have told her to just enjoy herself! See you there ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowMuch! Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Argh!!!! DD has come home from school with a horrid cold and has had several nosebleeds today! She’s terrified she’ll have a nosebleed mid-audition! 🙈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damedolly Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Fingers crossed she can rest up tomorrow and be fighting fit for Sunday ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems a bit brighter this morning. Hopefully a quiet day today and strict intrusions to take it easy in ballet class today will help.

glowlight Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Reassure her that it won't matter if she has a nose bleed during the audition. It's one way to get noticed! It might be worth mentioning to the staff when you check her in, and making sure she has a stash of tissues just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damedolly Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 We got finals too for CAT! My daughter who is already a CAT took a report from her principal just saying what she was like at dance, her strengths and weaknesses and the physical checks I think were by a physio ?

Sorry I can’t help with your questions other than to say I’ve sent the form to DD’s teacher and I’m guessing she’ll write something like a reference/school report.

Hi @damedolly what are the days and hours for CAT per week. My daughter has got through to finals but we didn’t attend the open day so I don’t know much about this side of it.

Damedolly Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 My daughter is older so is there Monday, Wednesday , Thursday and Saturday. I’m led to believe the level ones would be Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, roughly 4.45-7.45 week nights and Saturdays my DD does 10.45-6 . They also have to attend school holidays , and they actually start in the summer holidays not in September! It’s definitely long hours and a huge commitment as my daughter left her dance school to concentrate on CAT but she absolutely loves every minute of it !

DD is 11 year 7 at the moment and we are Hull so not sure if it would be doable. Thank you so much for your reply x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for your reply x It might be worth calling them for a chat. I felt quite reassured after the open day that although they want 100% commitment, they also take ‘real life’ into account and also that they support with the academic school’s understanding of possible need to leave school early etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowMuch! Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Is anyone’s else’s DC doing both the associate and CAT finals on Sunday? Or anyone with past experience of doing both? I’m feeling quite apprehensive about it and how DD will manage such a long day. And what to do in the break that won’t add to her tiredness - either through walking about town or through sitting and waiting, both of which can be draining! I’m pretty sure she’ll be so excited that the tiredness won’t hit her until we get home though! But any tips would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
