BalletBoysDad Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 That would mean Group 4 results are probably expected at the very earliest week commencing 16th November. It will nearly be time to apply again in February if it’s a no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RachH Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Maybe they wanted to get all invitations out and dealt with for all 4 groups before moving on to releasing results? And perhaps the auditions team are having lunch now, before they start sending results out this afternoon... We should know one way or the other by the end of this week - surely!!

Spamcat Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Got our group 4 email! I am confused because it says at the top not to save the videos onto your device then at the end it says videos must be deleted if you downloaded them. Our Internet connection is so dodgy because we live in the middle of nowhere but I'm not sure if I can download them or not. 🤔 Also it says no tiled floors and the entire of our house has tiled floors. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They checked with the audition team who said that was allowed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 We've actually got a really great space to do it, DD does some zoom ballet classes at home but it is always lagging and cutting out and things don't stream well. (The floor is tiled though, I never knew that was bad? 😬). I just don't understand whether or not I'm allowed to download the video if I delete it after. I could ask to use the hall, but I don't think that has Internet either. We really do live in the middle of nowhere! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 In terms of the tiled floor, can you borrow a dance floor mat from somewhere? If not, I'm sure they're not going to say no because of the type of floor you have! I assume it's just because tiles are a very hard and unforgiving surface to e.g. jump on so they are covering their backs in terms of safety. Is there any way of temporarily boosting Internet? Might be worth asking someone who knows about these things? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sass22 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi all, how do you know which groups your all in? Also have they asked for a second recording. I’ve sent mine in for London. Haven’t heard anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaFrosty Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I keep checking my junk folder, we’re group one 😣 it’s my daughter’s birthday on Friday, I was really hoping we’d know for sure before so she can get over the upset and enjoy her day - if it comes on Friday I think I’m going to have to wait until the weekend to tell her 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 @RachH emailed the auditions team and they said the results would be out within 1 month of the closing date, so it will be one calendar month tomorrow for group 1.

Millicent Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 @MamaFrosty I would do that too. Although, you never know, it could end up being a special birthday present for her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkletoes22 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 It’s so hard...the waiting and not knowing. I’m sure the children (and grown ups) will be relieved when we know.

We are aiming to let all applicants know their results a month after their video submission date. This may vary slightly, but you will not have to wait until the end of the audition process in order to find out the results. (Unless you are in the last group!) I hope that helps.

Balletmum201 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I’m very pleased to have found this group I thought I was the only one worrying that we hadn’t heard anything yet! I cracked under the pressure and emailed today and got this response (we’re group one): The final group is submitting their videos this week. The admissions team is planning to send out emails starting next week, beginning with the first group and working their way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millicent Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thank you @Balletmum201 for saving me from staring at my phone for the rest of the week! Reading between the lines, it sounds like they are making their decisions very quickly then, but just waiting to send out the emails? I will try to relax now until Monday before I start nervously checking my phone again 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Although I've just thought...that can't be right that the final group is submitting their videos this week if the email has only just gone out today? They will have around 2 and a half weeks like everyone else before they have to submit them. Hmmm, I suppose they meant to say that the email has gone out this week rather than videos are being submitted. I wish I didn't have a tendency to overthink 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyballerinamum Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I thought exactly the same thing. It also slightly contradicts the email to @RachH which suggested that each group was an independent entity and wouldn’t have to await the others being submitted. That said, also glad I can forget about it for the rest of the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancemum100 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 We are group 2 and none of our videos have been watched all the way through. Only a few minutes of two of them and none at all of part two. I’m thinking this means that they didn’t see what they were looking for straight away 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
