She really enjoyed that and has gained a place this year too so they clearly helped her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know SO many gorgeous dancers that are now at vocational school or with RBS Mids and Senior Associate places who never received a JA place - so if it was a no today - don’t give up 👍 This is so true my DD had nos and a SWL for year 6 but was invited to WL and Elmhurst finals and is now starting Elmhurst in September so it’s true never give up. I think they nos and the SWL gave her more determination to get a place at vocational school. Well done to all the yes and SWL and it really is is a not yet for the nos, just keep believing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmil Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Please can someone explain the abbreviations - JEP & SWL also, are all the “no” emails identically worded - ours said they saw potentially & we should audition again next year....is this wording just a way of letting us down gently (1st time auditioning so no disappointment here😀) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletmumlife Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 We had a no for Year 4, and no for Year 5, no JEP programme and today we have a YES for Year 6 London! Don't give up! So proud of my daughters determination! X 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyDancemum Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 My dd got SWL and did JEP last year. This year they have called it ‘online Junior Associate Programme’ and it is on a Sunday rather than a Saturday and for 12 sessions instead of 10 so not sure if it will be any different to JEP. The email says it’s a ‘new junior associates online programme’ 🤷🏼♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tdc34 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Well, after what feels like the longest wait in the world and after a ‘No’ for years 4 and 5, my dd has received a very unexpected ‘Yes’! It definitely hasn’t sunk in yet even a good few hours later! To anyone who is reading this today or in the future after receiving a ‘No’, please don’t think this is a full stop in your child’s ballet journey. I absolutely wrote my dd off and have been telling everyone for ages that she ‘just isn’t Royal material’, even refusing to apply for the Spring or Summer intensives because I thought there was absolutely no point if she hadn’t even had a SWL for JAs. Yet she has kept persevering and has worked so incredibly hard throughout lockdown. She hasn’t stopped trying, and whilst it might sound cliche, I honestly think that receiving those no’s along the way have helped her become the dancer she is today. This will sound really weird, and I wouldn’t have thought this at the time, but I’m now actually grateful for those no’s! Keep going and never give up on those dreams!

Missdancemum Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Well done to everyone this year for dealing with everything involved with the audition process, supporting their dc and patience waiting for results. Hopefully the audition process will return to in person after this year! It’s been great to have this forum for support and to share experiences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In at the deep end Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 It's a no for us this time (yr 5, Birmingham) 😔 I'm a bit gutted, as last year my DD was on SWL for JA and got a place at Elmhurst Young Dancers. But this year I guess RBS think she has less potential than last year? Her video wasn't the greatest, so I'm not totally surprised.... She's OK with it and loves her classes at Elmhurst. So we'll put this behind us and try again next year when 🤞🏼 auditions will be in person again! Very well done to all those that were offered places this year, congratulations to you all 🎉💕🩰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missdancemum Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The last course was online teacher led classes covering variety of exercise, technique & ballet topics. We were very impressed with it & think it’s a great way of offering training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyNEDancer Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 In my experience, the online JE programme was really great. The classes were small enough for individual corrections, and they had a really positive feeling. It somehow didn’t feel like a normal studio class that had had to turn to Zoom because of lockdown. We’re very pleased to have accepted the place last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifeafterballet Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Anyone starting the JEP on zoom, can collect from the southwest, I still have available a lovely ballet barre. Open to offers ☺️ the barre” home ballet barre. 2 metres long, adjustable height. Cream coloured. Very sturdy and in excellent condition. Only used during holidays, barely though 🤣, and during lockdown. £130. Too heavy to post so for collection only. Cornwall/Devon border. https://ibb.co/T1hpT4dhttps://ibb.co/zPDq2JMhttps://ibb.co/PCdyTYS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyDancemum Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hi 👋🏼 those who got SWL did your email say ‘junior engagement programme’ or ‘junior online associates’. I’ve seen lots of mentions of JEP I’m just wondering if they are offering 2 different online programmes. Last year we did JEP but this year it says ‘new junior online associates’ TIA.
