In at the deep end 16 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 2 mins on 1st video, and 1 min each on 2nd and 3rd here 😳 I'm guessing this is either really good or really bad 😕😂 It wasn't my DD finest performance, but so hard for the children online at home. Good luck everyone! Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure they’ll all be looked at multiple times. All the views in the world could still result in a no. I really hope there’s not another YouTube auditions again because having access to the analytical data is borderline torment. No one would ever know in a studio audition! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanceMum03 6 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Sorry to any not yets and well done to the yes's and SWL's. We got SWL for group 3, DDÂ has her heart completely set on a place so praying it materialises. It doesn't seem all that likely though. Hope group 4 decisions are out soon so you don't have to wait much longer! Edited October 28, 2020 by DanceMum03 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Spamcat 88 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 @BellaF I'm sure your videos will get viewed properly. I know of another who still only has a few seconds viewed. They have a lot to get through. @DanceMum03 congratulations on SWL, I hope a place comes up. 🤞🤞 Link to post Share on other sites

Ours were being viewed rather late last night, around 715-745pm. It makes me think what someone else mentioned earlier, that different assessors have each been given a batch of applications and might be looking at them within their own time. Ours definitely weren't viewed within ‘office hours’. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyElliot1 27 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi everyone- hope you are all well. Does anyone at Eastleigh know which day the JA1 class will be in Jan? Is it still on Saturday or has it changed to Sunday? Many thanks x Link to post Share on other sites
BellaF 89 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks @BalletBoysDad and @Spamcat 😊  Think we're going to view this year as a 'trial run' - DD didn't show her full potential in the audition and had a different attitude going into it than Elmhurst YD or Tring CBA which comes across in the video (like I said upthread she didn't even TRY to stretch her feet 😂).  Really hope we have some good news for people on here in the not too distant future 🤞 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Many thanks x I'm not involved in any planning so the following is what I know but may not be the whole story.. Currently lessons are Saturday morning but some parents have been asked whether they would mind changing their times to the afternoon. I think this is so that there can be an additional class to enable social distancing when new pupils join but this is just my thoughts. I was not approached for this and so assume my DS morning lesson continues as is 😀 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BalletBoysDad 133 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 We’re applying for Y5. My DS is a summer baby, but also has a surname beginning with 'A'. We also submitted nearly at the deadline. It’s hard to know how they’ll work through the videos, or if it’s totally random.  I imagine Birmingham has a huge number of applicants, as it was its own group like London.   Link to post Share on other sites
