Balletmum2305 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 So glad I came across this post, I've been checking my emails like a mad woman since I submitted the videos... my daughter has applied for yr5 Manchester so we where group 2, probably going to be a few more weeks before we hear anything if group one still haven't... we applied to Elmhurst and had to do a live zoom audition and heard back within a week I thought this might have been similar..

We’re waiting for year 5 Manchester too. Did your daughter get a place at Elmhurst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I think some group 2 have said that their videos have been watched already. I bet RBS has had loads of emails/calls from worried parents with the time it is taking for group 1 applicants! Glad this forum is keeping me (relatively) sane.

Ballerinamum Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hi just re read the e mail and it said about doing the ballet class all in one go. My daughter did but I had to do video 1 then stop click the link then a second and third video. Will it matter it's 3 videos? It was stressful trying to get it to record and click on my Chromebook etc. I obviously lost the ability to multi task 🙈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaFrosty Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Ours was sent as three videos, I think they just wanted them to do it as one lesson rather than one part one day, one part the next day etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballerinamum Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Great thank you! Found it a little stressful trying to get it right. Sure they will only skip to certain parts X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletmumH Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 We are grp 2 and our video was watched on Tuesday, 12 minutes of it - I uploaded it as a whole rather than 3 sections. DD didn't show her full potential on the day however so I'm not expecting a yes this time. In the email they said expect to hear approx 4 weeks after the closing date, so would be mid October if they manage to get through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have just skipped to the parts they are interested in? There was a lot of standing and listening to instructions also. I am not sure they could watch every candidates 30 min video in full and get through them all? We are group 2 too, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballerinamum Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I imagine they are looking at the flexibility part, musicality and the jumps etc. Must be taking them ages to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballerinamum Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 It has taken nearly 24 hours to download the files and realised the silly go pro put it into 2 files due to the length (per video). It's a continuation of the first one but 6 videos in total 🙈😓. Have had to submit one in the link the other in the password box to send it across. My phone didn't work so it was the only way to do it. Hopefully they will still watch it 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumof1 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Weirdly had a feeling this morning and looked at our YouTube views. Seems like my daughters videos (group 1) were watched again today between 9-10 am which leads me to believe that they still haven’t made the final decisions.

Maybe she's down to the last few? My daughter's were watched twice about a week apart, but not at all in the last few weeks (since mid-September). Fingers crossed for you.

She screwed up multiple times in the audition and she has the worst posture With a naturally curved back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancecrazy1 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 wish i was a bit more technical with computers, when it had only been viewed once it was easy to easy which bits they'd watched but now it looks like a heart monitor trace with so many ups and downs i cant tell what they would have re-watched yesterday! hopefully not the bits where i was flagging to her that she was about to jump back into the sofa 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your group one then thinking group 2 not going to be out for ages! My DD is group 2 and her first video was watched for 8 mins, second 4 and third 3 minutes.
