Isabella Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Just wondering how many groups tend to audition for Elmhurst junior associates and does it matter which group they’re in? I suppose they just audition in mixed groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hi does anybody have an idea as to how the groups might be organised? Age order by the photographs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyNEDancer Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 They’re done in year groups. My best advice is to not over think the administration side too much, just concentrate on helping your son/daughter to relax and enjoy the audition. The Elmhurst YD programme is amazing, and the classes are really special. I’m sure they’ll run the auditions in a similar way. If your son/daughter is relaxed then they’ll be able to follow along better! I have to try hard not to project my anxieties on to my child, and they tend to just get on with it all! Good luck with the audition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Thank you #TinyNEDancer. Great advice. I was just curious because there didn’t seem to be any logic to it but like you said it’s best not to think about it too much. I never talk about this side of things with my daughter. All she knows is that she has a fun hour of dancing planned at a special school. Thanks again for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they just audition in mixed groups? Last year they did it in age order over a couple of weekends but I am not sure what is happening this year due to covid. I know of several yr5s who have already auditioned and got a place, but my friend's DD who is going for yr4 doesn't have her audition until 5th September. Which year group are you auditioning for?

Isabella Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Year 4 but I don’t think it’s age order my dd has a friend from the same birthday month and they’re in different groups. That’s why I was wondering...x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Oh sounds like it is different this year then, but it definitely doesn't alter their chances by which group they are in, they all have an equal chance. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahG1881 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 My DD is auditioning tomorrow, based on friends auditioning I don’t think the groups are being done by age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyNEDancer Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 When my daughter auditioned last year she did an in class audition on a Saturday and we had an email on the Tuesday. Good luck everyone. It’s a brilliant programme. We love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookish Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 My daughter auditioned for year 5, but has been offered a place starting in year 4 for the first term to get up to speed. Our letter says term starts a week today. I might double check with them later this week, if Year 4 have only auditioned today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that’s brilliant they must have seen something special in her and lovely they’re going to give her the chance to catch up! So starts next Saturday? That seems odd if results aren’t out yet, uniform to buy, fees to pay etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 @BookishMy DD is in yr 5 and starts back next week (12th) so maybe they'll put your DD in with year 5s until the yr 4s start? Unless they are planning super quick results and everyone to start on 12th! @MrsSMy friends DD also auditioned today at 9am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they said to us a few weeks back that anyone who can't get uniform in time can wear regular leotard. The website is currently out of stock of everything.

SarahG1881 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Perhaps they are going to get them started straight away then. Is anybody else auditioning for Royal Ballet too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Yes my DD is auditioning for Royal. Last year she was successful at Elmhurst but had a no from Royal (she was a tiny August born yr4!) so we are trying again this year for yr5. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyNEDancer Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Not all centres have heard that they/if they are starting back next week. I know Birmingham is, but it’s not definite that others are. So that might explain the above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’ll find out by mid week at the latest. And possibly may start on Saturday, or soon after, but I’m sure they’ll say to not worry about uniform etc. As someone else said, you don’t get an invoice for fees until about October half term! Fingers crossed for your DD 🤞🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 How did everyone find the audition? X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In at the deep end Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 My DD also audioned on Saturday, in the 10.30 group. She really enjoyed it 🙂 My issue is that she's also applied for RBS JA. We're in Group 3 (Bath) and still awaiting the email with the video link in. I know realistically she's unlikely to get in.....however, Bath is much closer to home. Given a choice, we'd choose Royal over Elmhurst, purely due to mileage and time. We can't get to both. But it looks like Elmhurst are going to let us know before we've even submitted a video for JA!! I know I'm worrying over nothing as getting a place with Royal at yr4 is unlikely. But I'm already imagining a huge dilemma? 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littledancegirl Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 My dd loved it on Saturday, she has asked to do more auditions so regardless of the result we are happy. Not sure though how many went for Manchester, we were in group 4 at Birmingham, which was in the afternoon. So I presuming the classes were mixed with children applying for Birmingham and Manchester.
