I applied back in September and yes there were photos. A while later I was contacted by the registrar to say DC had been invited to audition. With a date, time and itinerary. Since that loads has changed so I'm not sure of the process now hopefully someone on here applied not long ago and could help but there were definitely photos. Good luck to your DC xx

Thanks, I registered now and they just want a full body photo sent to registrar and then the video with the 5th of February as deadline. Thanks again and all the best.Β

We have made so many mistakes but it’s too late to change now...for Royal we did it in tights instead of bare legs and we have got to redo the photos (because the picture is of bare legs so that’s what we did - but then noticed in the writing it asks for socks and ballet shoes!!),Β we forgot to film from the side for plies for Tring (and didn’t do both sides)....but I’m just thinking to send them as they are. We also can’t seem to upload our video on one drive for Tring at all - tried so many times. I’m going to have to email to ask if there is an alternative way to send. Just a nightmare...X

Hi All! Happy New Year! I have a question for you all too- trying to do Hammond video. In the stretches there is one called 'External rotation of the hips (supine)'. When I try to look it up on youtube I get exercises for weight lifters, arthritis sufferers but not ballet in spite of different search terms. 🀣 Is this stretch the so-called frog one??

Happy New Year! I assume it is frog legs while lying on their back.Β

It’sΒ so difficult isn’t it. It took me quite a while with the Tring video but managed it in the end. I’m sure they’ll be understanding if you email them.Β XxΒ

The only way we could upload was by dragging the video file into their OneDrive folder. When we pressed the upload button, nothing happened.

Aw its mad isn't it! They could have at least tried to write it in plain English for us non dancers! There has been lots of googling here...we ended up doing froggy lying down on back! XΒ 


They really could have, I’m sure they’llΒ have a variety of different things on the videos.Β

I wouldn’t worry too much... I missed out a couple of things on my DS Elmhurst video and I am his dance teacher!!!!Β 
I sent it and realised afterwards. I think they know what they want and what they are looking for and make that judgement very quickly. Please don’t panic if it’s not perfect or anywhere close to being perfect. XxΒ

Thank you, that’s really reassuring. Who would have thought we’d be doing videos in in our living rooms. Xx

Hi guys, did anyone submit their Elmhurst video over the Christmas break via email? A friend has just applied for her son and said now the application form has a place for you to upload the video, but when I applied for my DS this wasn’t an option. I sent it via email and haven’t had any confirmation yet. IΒ am sure the registrar is just super busy with it being her first day back, and I’ve checked my outbox to try and reassure myself I’ve sent it properly haha but I just thought I’d check if anybody else was in the same boat? x

We sent ours in December via email. The registrar replied the next day to say she had received it and it’s subsequently had one view for 4 secs to check the link is working too.

Im sure she will get back to you xxΒ

That’s fab, thank you, it’s just with me sending it over the Christmas holidays she obviously hasn’t been in the school to be able to reply so I think I’ll give it a few days and then if I don’t hear I’ll drop another email and check it’s all working okay. Was the deadline the 11th of Jan? I just want to make sure it’s all okay by then! Haha x

Hi Bunny, I submitted the application on the 27th and then submitted a photo andΒ video link to the registrar by email. There wasn't a space to put the linkΒ when I applied (likeΒ there was for RBS). I got an email today saying that the link appears to be working (though in the mean time I had sent her another link because youtube had a copyright issue). If you sent the link by email, I am sure it is fine.Β

@Bunny, we submitted too (to the registrar) but just before Christmas and had working link confirmed. Fingers crossed you get a confirmation it is OK - it is so nerve-wracking!Β
