Best of luck everyone x Sorry to hear that, my DS is a late July baby and he didn’t quite make it last year. They grow and develop so much and so quickly, that outcome could definitely change next application. Hope she doesn’t mind too much. x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her teacher did say it’s harder for the children July onwards and usually they gain the places in year 5. Elmhurst was her aim and she achieved that, RB would have been an incredible bonus so she’ll be ok! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive congratulations to those of you with a yes and commiserations to those with a no. Well done to all the young dancers in difficult circumstances this year x My DS was SWL last year. July birthday. It’s a great result, and although we felt a bit disappointed, it really spurred by DS to try again. We also know people who got a ‘no’ then a ‘yes’ the following year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancecrazy1 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 has anyone heard of anyone being offered a place off the SWL? can't imagine any places will come up... unless they can suddenly increase class sizes in January.... ever hopeful 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletbuds80 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Now that all the results are out, I would just like to congratulate everyone who got a yes. Fingers crossed something materialises for those on the SWL and hopefully see all the ‘no’s’ on here again next year 😂 Enjoy your classes those who start in January. It really is a very special place and you are very lucky to have been accepted into the program 😍🩰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for all the 'not yets' and fingers crossed for everyone still waiting x Well done to the yeses! @BellaF that makes me wonder if the analytics aren't actually very accurate as I'd be so surprised they would give out a yes after having watched less than 10% of the audition.

So pleased for you. Could well be the case - YouTube Studio showed all 3 videos viewed briefly the day after submission, then video 1 for less than a minute last week which does seem strange. One thing that is clear is that you really can't read into the number of (estimated) views - judging from here there is no pattern!

meadowblythe Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 To all the SWLs/not yets I can still feel, reading this thread, the mixed emotions of a SWL offer for a year 4 place for DS. Especially when the only other boy in his school got a place. My tiny August born son is now rehearsing Rothbart and the Rat King - he may not get to dance Rothbart as he is only(!) 6 foot tall, about the same height as the ballerina dancing Odette. But my point is, you are at the beginning of a long and exciting journey. At times you may not be tall enough, or too tall, or too flexible (he was!) or not flexible enough (he is now!). Ballet is a harsh task master. Be kind to yourself and your children. Cherish good health and good memories made along the way. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
