Ballet Power Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Has anyone done the year 6 RBS JA’s video audition? I’ve sent my daughters in but didn’t get any receipt or acknowledgement. Did any of you? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum of unicorn dancer Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 We did same and I did contacted them about this. You will not receive any email unless there is any problem with the submission. Fingers crossed. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InOverOurHeads Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Just sent my daughters off. When do you think we will hear anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 It was quite a difficult procedure I gather . To film it and send it off ! It will take a long time to look at them all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballet Power Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 We quite enjoyed doing it and filming it. Although my camera ran out of storage so I had to quickly swap to my phone!! They’ve only done it for year 6 entry but I guess they’ll still have a lot to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worsethanclueless Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 We put ours on Vimeo so it will at least be obvious when they view it because if there's a view showing, it can't be anyone else - at least I hope so. But I can't believe they're going to sit down and watch every single one from beginning to end. I mean it would be amazing if they did, but they'd be there til Christmas!

BellaF Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Good luck to everyone! Long wait to the year 5 audition in the autumn for us 😩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingsantosisters Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I'm recording my daughters today. Not clicked on the video link so no idea what to expect and it's her first ever audition. Can anyone tell me how long the video actually is ? I'm more nervous about messing up the filming of it if I'm honest. Good luck to all who've applied 🤞 xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballet Power Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 It’s about 40 minutes. The teacher gives very clear instructions, just hold the camera nice and still! (No nervous shaking!) 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just recorded so going to upload on a min. I know i was just a bit worried about her having enough room etc to perform the exercises but we did thankfully !! Good luck to everyone 👏 xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancermom Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 No I didn’t get any acknowledgement which scared me but I think if there’s a problem hopefully they’ll contact you. It took me hours to upload the video to Dropbox! Hopefully we will know before end of term but there’s going to be a lot of videos for them to get through so could be longer.

X I had exactly the same problem as my phone had recorded in some sort of super HD so the file was massive. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long. I used vimeo as somebody mentioned you can see when it's been viewed so I'll keep an eye on that too xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daintydancer Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 My guess would be very earliest late July but more likely early August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisyflower Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Does anyone know how many spaces there are? I hope it's not only one or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daintydancer Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Who knows! I would think they have a few hundred to look through and each one is 35 minutes! Assuming they watch the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancermom Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It’s usually late June when we find out, I know they’ve got loads to get through but I can’t imagine they’ll leave it too long as obv people need to get organised with uniforms and stuff. So my bet is that it will be before end of summer term. 🤞 I did hear that they have two classes in year 6 so potentially lots more spaces if this is still what they do.

Macy1 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Yes last in person audition was mid May last year and we heard mid June so fingers crossed it might be by end July... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum of unicorn dancer Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I think it might be before 13.7. when summer intensive is supposed to start (albeit its online version), but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_DanceMum Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hopefully mid-July? Depends on the approach taken to viewing the videos. Staff will surely be keen to wrap this up and have their summer break. Will they skim through and look for what they need? It would be interesting to know. Good luck everyone!

SissonneDoublee Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Did the audition video include the stretches that they normally include in the live auditions? If these take place fairly early in the recording that might be a point where they decide whether to keep watching. I imagine that if a child doesn’t fit key criteria, they wouldn’t watch the full half hour of video... Fingers crossed for everyone! Hopefully you won’t have to wait too long.

Yes I’m hoping mid July 🤞 I would imagine some videos will get watched all the way through but some will reach the cutting room floor quite quickly. They might just skip through to the important bits. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think if they think the child is what they’re looking for they’ll forward to important bits. If not they may not bother watching anymore. It’s a lot of 40 minute vids to get through if they did watch them all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
