Lara Eschler Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 23 minutes ago, The red shoes said: I wonder if all the boys are this time and they are splitting them into two groups. One in class and one in physio then swap? Two groups of 12 or 15?? Here I go again!! 🤣🤣 It seems like we all have the email saying the actual ballet class is at 9:30 and then physio? Is the 18th the only boys day for year 7? Is it usually 30 boys at finals? I know last year boys already had white lodge results so a couple of boys might have decided not to attend the final.

If you look back on the White Lodge video audition thread there is lots of discussion and suggestions about this. If you're in England and your DC is at secondary school you should be able to get hold of tests you can do at home then log results on official government app which generates an email from NHS.

Raquelle Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Emailed the registrar and there are no specific dress requirements so girls can wear tights or socks whatever they prefer for elmhurst. Also she said there is parking for drop off or collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggi Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Does anyone know why the Royal Ballet school do interviews?! Not sure what they are looking for in the interview but my child was super nervous and didn’t over talk...she answered all the questions asked lovely but didn’t go over the top... Are they likely to disqualify a child through this interview? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they likely to disqualify a child through this interview? I doubt it, Reggi - the interviewer we had said at the beginning that this doesn’t have any bearing on the outcome, they’d just like to find out a little about DS, his family and his likes/dislikes. I guess, in normal times, this would be a chance to make sure they hear from the child themselves that they do love to dance, what they like/dislike in terms of academics and hobbies, and maybe make sure it’s not the parents forcing it (it happens unfortunately). Most of the children will have been very nervous. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Someone who auditioned last year told us that the DCs were asked to write a short story (again, told it had no bearing on the outcome but just wanting to get to know the child), so maybe it’s been easier on them this year with just a friendly interview. Fingers crossed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raquelle Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hi everyone. I've had an email from my hotel explaining that I will be asked to present evidence that we are allowed to travel according to government guidelines. I was thinking of just showing the audition email from elmhurst. Are we permitted to travel as this is for educational purposes? Just want to make sure I say the right thing x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
