I think your ds was in the same group, did they just do frogs on their back? Or maybe my ds was not concentrating and missed the exercise entirely? Yes, same group. If your DS didn’t then he wasn’t the only one to not have this test. Only on googling from what he’s explained I think it’s a measure of turnout range. If they can already see it maybe they wouldn’t need to test for it? (My DS doesn’t have anywhere near flat turnout, standing or in frog...the tummy one with legs in a diamond, he said they did that too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he did not realize there was a gadget? All your dss seem much better at recounting the event. That’s the one! I’m only hearing more as time goes on but if anything it’s stressing me out more - and DS is getting fed up of me asking, bless him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool I learned something new, did not know what a goniometer was. My ds must have not being paying attention and just did not do the ones on his tummy in the class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS has said he didn’t do certain things in the audition to later say ‘I remember now, we did do that.’ 🤦♀️ I was glad when others confirmed they didn’t do improv - I was worried he’d somehow missed his favourite part by going to the toilet or getting distracted with something else he shouldn’t be doing (it could happen). 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponklemum Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 My ds is adamant they never did this to him. I hope he’s not the only one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletBoyMumma Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) DS did say some were asked to repeat things or show exercises again. He had to redo the seated pike, tummy frog (his worst!!! 😳) and a funny jump that he doesn’t know what it’s called - he said it wasn’t a sauté but something starting in first but legs go apart that he felt was strange but I’ve just googled it and seems it was a sauté (but according to my eldest daughter the ballet method they do differs as legs should always squeeze together unless it’s sautés in second?!?!? I am so confused now 😬😰 I wish I’d never asked! 😅). Edited March 15, 2021 by BalletBoyMumma Clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 My Ds is asleep now but I am sure he said he was lying face down when she used the machine so perhaps for those who don’t recall having it they just didn’t notice? My DS also went into two rooms for physio and he said all of his group did. Two members of his group were also called back into the room to re-do some of the stretches. I think we could agonise forever over what this and that could mean! x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletBoyMumma Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Yes, I think (hope) it might be like the video viewing times again. The worry over why some were watched almost in full and others just for two minutes or so (ours was one of those). There was no correlation with times and who made finals! We’ll never know what they are doing and why they do it that way. And if we could, I don’t think we’d want to - the selection process must be painful to witness. My DS said he felt like a show dog...😳😬 ...but then said it was great fun and he wants to do it all again (phew!) If they had a fun, then it was a great experience and settle it at that for now (it’s in the hands of the panel). The more we know, the more we’ll agonise over it but it won’t change anything.

Ballerina_girl Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Thank you! Plan to take the test/submit the results on Thursday afternoon for audition Sat morning so if 4 hours is the longest so far that should be fine.

Yes, I spent that time panicking that I’d done something wrong as our practice one a few days before was so quick. I think it must have just been a very busy time for the system. The schools were mass testing then. @Weloveballet We did ours the day before (you don’t get a time of test on the email, just a date btw so that will be fine ).

Lara Eschler Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Good morning everyone, Looking at last year dates, it seems like the boys got the results 5 days after the audition, so this would be tomorrow. Does anyone know more about dates for boys who could not attend in person or people abroad? I actually really would prefer not to get results tomorrow (as it is ds birthday and right before Elmhurst, lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually the audition on the Saturday 29th Feb and they found out Tuesday 3rd March!!!! I don’t want it before Elmhurst audition ( unless in the unlikely event it’s good news of course). I just won’t tell ds if it’s bad news before Elmhurst. Happy birthday to your ds for tomorrow xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancermom Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi, there’s another thread on here, someone asking about what happens if you can’t make the audition, so maybe some information on that, last I read they said they’d be contacted after Easter I think but then everyone that goes to the audition should have heard by then so... 🤷♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy birthday to your ds for tomorrow xx Thank you so much! So I got the dates wrong so the results would have been yesterday if same as last year? It would probably be later this year then with people who could not attend, etc. I thought of not telling him but he has access to social media, etc. We are very prepared for a no, but would prefer it after Elmhurst too. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will hold off this week as they all know when the other schools auditions are ... I’m hoping not to hear.
