Hammond said they’re hoping to get they’re results out by 1st March so they have the same time frame. Not sure when to expect Elmhurst or Tring.

I keep setting anything from RB as ‘important.’ Ours has been viewed - whoever it was only watched half though (which worries me a bit as DS definitely did better in the second half 😩). We’re really sad about the whole process tbh - he practiced at home but we only had one hour in the studio to get our video done - DS was really stressed and tense so it’s really not good at all. Kind of wishing we’d done it at home at a time he was more relaxed (but we lack the space really). Fingers crossed they really are mindful of all the challenges everyone has faced over the last 9 months. 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red shoes Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 They won’t have watched just half from the beginning as it were... if they’ve watched say 6 mins of a 13 minute video it could mean they skipped through certain bits to see the parts they really need/ want to see. outs was viewed back in November just after the “ original” closing date , before it got extended to January. 6 minutes was watched and I can see from the analytics that bits were skipped through etc . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks visibly nervous and tense in his video and he’s usually so smiley and happy and relaxed while he is dancing. He had no rehersal time for anything, he literally went into the studio, his teacher ran through an exercise once or twice and then he replicated it while I filmed it. I don’t think the videos really show him at his best at all. I wish we had taken more time over it but it’s difficult as obviously it’s not reasonable to expect the dance teacher to spend hours teaching your child exercises to film and waiting for them to perfect it. I am sure RBS completely understand this anyway! It’s just us that panic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent weeks worrying that our JA videos had only been watched for less than 3 minutes (out of 35 or so minutes total) and still got a place 😊 Worth saying that others with multiple, longer views were also successful - you really can't tell that much. Feel for everyone doing 'big' auditions this year. Have everything crossed it's good news for you all in a few weeks... and that finals can take place in an actual studio! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure RBS completely understand this anyway! It’s just us that panic! Yes, that sounds similar to us. Very obviously tense. We didn’t follow the guide or style they do in JA classes (and the more comprehensive guide wasn’t online when we filmed) just went with roughly what he does usually in class with his teacher (in Cecchetti method). His absolute favourite thing is to turn and jump but I think the stress of it got the better of him - we ran out of time so submitted the things that sort of resembled pirouettes, and some rather messy jumping. It is what it is. 😅 I guess, looking back now that it’s done, we’ve all (parents/carers and dancers and the teachers, of course) done amazingly to get anything submitted given the circumstances. ❤️ Edited January 7, 2021 by BalletBoyMumma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDanceMum Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hi everyone, so pleased I found this forum. My DD is a JA in London and auditioning for a white lodge/mids year 7 place. Our video was viewed a couple of days ago but only just under 6 mins(less than half 😬) The whole video audition process was extremely stressful it was touch and go whether we'd get it done at all. Was considering tring too but couldn't face another separate video 😣Thinking/hoping entries will be lower this year due to the nightmare video process. Also thinking there maybe less places though as asume there won't be many/any current students assessed out this year as would seem harsh when they've had such little time in the studio. Does anyone know if they are doing mid assessments as normal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that must be such a relief for the students. They are still auditioning for Yr8 places though so I guess competition will be much more tighter for those trying.

Shortly after received an email inviting to audition. I think I paid the fee then. This was when in person auditions were still going ahead. I'm sure you will hear very soon..Maybe follow up with an email on Monday. We were sent an email after auditions were cancelled with a link and password to upload the video to their one drive.
