BellaF Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Filmed ours this morning... so hard not to scream at DD to stretch her feet and tuck her bum in! Not holding our much hope... judging by the exercises I don't think RBS is for her 😂 Good luck to everyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletBoysDad Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Talk about last minute. We filmed the audition this afternoon and I have just pressed ‘submit’ on the application. In my head, we live on a quiet street and there would be minimal distractions. But according to the video, we had, right outside the living room window where we were filming (in no particular order, and not limited to) an ambulance, Ocado deliveries, barking dogs, passers by stop literally outside our window to join other in having a chat, someone bouncing a football very loudly, boy racers... It felt like the equivalent of having a real life audition and letting a pack of wolves into the room. How my DS managed to concentrate and try and block out all that distraction is beyond me. Whatever the outcome, I think all the DC’s must have done an incredible job dealing with and overcoming the most challenging and unconventional of circumstances! The reality of this kind of audition seems much more challenging than it sounds. Best of luck to all the DCs, their parents/family/guardians/friends and dance teachers that champion them on! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissP Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Our daughter was a yes for London YR4. Good luck to the other children who are still waiting for their results and well done to everyone else. The video audition was certainly an experience! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spamcat Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Group 4 deadline was an hour ago so countdown to results begin. I guess it will be mid November before we find out. Good luck everyone. 🤞🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadline for group 4 today I believe, anybody know when we should roughly expect results .. I think they said that they ‘aim’ to give results back within a month. I don’t know if that’s a full calendar month or roughly 4 weeks. So I guess that’s at the very earliest Friday 13th November, or some time the following week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballerinamum Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Hi definetly this week. Unsure why they wouldn't watch the 2nd video as much. Have seen others say lots of views but didn't get a place. I guess time will tell Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In at the deep end Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 @Spamcat I've managed to transfer my DD audition to Birmingham, since starting at Elmhurst last month. Bath is no longer possible for us to get to. We'd previously been to Bath on an insight day and had a private lesson this summer with the Bath JA teacher. I know nothing about Birmingham JA! Do you? Do you know what time the classes are? I've heard they're afternoons in Royal Birmingham building? Thank you ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you ☺ They are usually held at the BRB studios joined into the hippodrome which is always a delight to wait in their foyer however due to Covid they couldn’t have lots of children in every week and just Keir studios for the company so now at Nicholson studios about 10 minutes away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had this problem last year when we auditioned for Bath but my DD only got into Elmhurst so it didn't matter in the end. I don't know much about Birmingham JA, apart from that a couple of DDs Elmhurst classmates also go to JA so the classes don't clash and are in the afternoon. We went to the insight day in the Birmingham Royal ballet building where the classes are held and met one if the teachers who is lovely. My DD loved it! Which Elmhurst group is your DD in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Actually I've just realised I remember that insight day very fondly as one if the last things I did with DD that seemed completely normal without worrying about covid. We went shopping at the bullring, had a drink in a packed bar in Chinatown, did the insight day lesson, then afterwards went for a pizza in a bustling restaurant. Seems like a lifetime ago! 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In at the deep end Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Thank you @The red shoes and @Spamcat that's useful information. That sounds like a wonderful day out!! (Those were the days......) I was told children are never normally allowed to change their audition, we were only allowed because I asked before Group 3 (Bath) or Group 4 (Birmingham) had been submitted. It was a one off, I was lucky 😉 It probably makes no difference, as JA places are even harder to get this year! But it made no sense to apply for somewhere we couldn't go. We're Purple group, 08.45 in Elmhurst 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahG1881 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Yes they’re in the afternoon at Birmingham. I believe if they do jazz at Elmhurst they have just enough time for some dinner before starting at RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
