Dancingsantosisters Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi all, Has anyone heard any further information about this September intake auditions for Elmhurst Young Dancer ? I last had an email at the beginning of June stating they were undecided on how to proceed but not heard anything since. Thanks in advance ☺ xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazylifecrazykids Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I've not heard anything. I emailed a while back and they said they are looking at the best way to do them x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe RBS yr 6 JA was a video audition but YR 4 and 5 auditons will be in the autumn.. so I've read on here. Ballet Boost did video audition. English youth Ballet auditon is video too, so hopefuly Elmhurst will arrange something 😊 I'm trying to be positive 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was successful and has accepted a place on the associate's programme at Moorland but we'd also applied for Elmhurst so was hoping she could still complete an audition at least xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquelle Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm hoping something happens too! My DD is doing BBO scholars once a month but ideally needs to do something more regularly. Made it onto the Swl for RBS JA but I was hoping for an opportunity at Elmhurst too! Would be such a shame if they didnt get the chance x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrid Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 DD is a current young dancer and we haven’t heard from them yet about classes for September either. I was hoping it would be this week now main school lessons are over.🤞🏻 I know they have furloughed a few staff associated with the scheme as we couldn’t have our reports for this year. I would say they are trying to work our logistics of having the associate classes in the same space as the boarders. I think they also have classes on a Saturday morning. 🤔 I guess the auditions must be a similar logistical challenge! Other associate schemes (apart form RB in London), aren’t held at the actual boarding schools so this does make this a unique case. They are all so lovely there and it’s such a lovely scheme. Hopefully we will hear soon! 💫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we will hear soon! 💫 Tring's CBA is held at the school and have auditions planned for 5th September - though guess that could change! I wonder if it would be too tricky to find alternative studio space if holding it on site is an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farawaydancer Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I think Elmhurst will likely hold their young dancer auditions at the beginning of the autumn term and start lessons a couple of weeks later. They did this one year at our centre because the auditions planned for May/June had to be cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farawaydancer Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Also due to the layout of the building it should be relatively easy to keep the associates and full time students separate. They can use different entrances etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can use different entrances etc. The full-time students also use the studios on a Saturday morning, and the dining area is used by both groups, so if they followed the current model it would be difficult to keep them apart. They may well be waiting for further guidance before coming up with a plan. It’s reassuring to see that they are so cautious, especially when it would involve increasing the number of people on site considerably on a Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they use the studios but they should be able to access them via a different route into the building, change times etc. There doesn’t seem to be any plans to stop their RAD classes at the moment, they were still talking about them last week during meetings with students. I’m sure they will be considering it carefully though, everything else has been very organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingsantosisters Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 I'm just conscious that we've accepted a place elsewhere. I'd hope they would be sooner than September as we'll already be committed somewhere else xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquelle Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I've had an email from them today. It all seems a bit confusing and I'm not quite sure what it means. It says they wont have onsite auditions before september and mentions online sessions but says they dont know whether this is for young dancers or extended young dancers due to high numbers. I guess we will wait for further information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it's not just me 😂 Current associates have had an email saying they have an upcoming meeting to discuss logistics of running YD classes along side full time students classes and they will update us after that, with term dates and with regional centres info. They are defo trying to make it work but in the safest way...reassuring for both sides I would imagine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballet Dreams Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) We have had an email today about a year 6 zoom audition next Saturday. So glad we have finally got some news regarding Young Dancers and that classes will be going ahead in September. Does anyone no the timing of the year 6 class in Plymouth please? Just so I know whether it will be possible if my DD is successful as daughter also starting ballet boost on a Sunday each month.

My DD was successful last year yr5 but we had to decline as it was a morning class and she had BB Sunday mornings, she's been moved to lower mids BB which is mornings, so if she is successful again for Elmhurst I'm hoping the yr6 stays pm lol x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballet Dreams Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) That’s great my daughter also going into Lower Mids BB glad the classes don’t clash. Good luck to your DD for the audition I hope they are both are successful. Is Young Dancers every week?

I think it's Sunday because RBS JAs are every Saturday, avoids clash for those who do both xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they maybe reducing the numbers of the children on the class due to Covid. Edited July 28, 2020 by Ballet Dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingsantosisters Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 We've had our email too for the audition as you say its nice they'll get a chance to complete the audition. My DD has accepted a place at Moorland but is still wanting to complete Elmhurst audition too. Good luck everyone ❤ xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
