Exhausteddancemum Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 How strict do you think they’ll be on the photos? We definitely didn’t get as good as her teachers could have got out of her I always feel guilt when I seem to have the key role in the application process 🤦🏼♀️ I just can’t see the tweaks!

Please don’t feel guilty. You’re her Mum not her teacher. You can only do your best. They will see how she can dance from the videos and what her physique is like from the pictures. It really is the best you can do at the moment and you shouldn’t beat yourself up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much about the photos. There was a massive lag between taking ours in January last year and finally doing the audition video in October, during which DD entirely changed proportions. Looking back, the photos were awful (and I mean AWFUL 😂) so I can't believe they played any part in getting her place, in fact I think they would have gone against her. I've read on here before that they are primarily used for identification purposes which makes sense. Edited March 23, 2021 by BellaF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletbow Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Also it’s very last minute to extend it - I could understand if they’d extended a few days ago, even yesterday - but after the initial deadline seems odd. Surely most people who were going to apply have done so, and unless you receive notification saying otherwise you’d assume the date has passed! As @In at the deep end said maybe not as many people applied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahG1881 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I’m going to presume they’ve had less applicants this year .. it is a little frustrating though. I think most people who are auditioning would have already submitted.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaFrosty Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I’d guess that anyone who wants to apply has done so already, it seems like an odd decision to extend it today but they’ll have their reasons! Fingers crossed for everyone 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Does anybody know when the results might be out? I wouldn’t have thought a week would knock that out. I wonder whether some children might be called to audition in May???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletbow Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Their website still says: “We aim to send preliminary results for full-time training auditions out as soon as possible, this is likely to be within one month after your audition. Associate results go out at the very end of the audition process, this will be in March/April.“ So I assume they’re going to stick to this as much as possible. It also says there’s no other audition for associates. ‘If applying for an Associate programme, you only need to complete the preliminary stage audition’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletbow Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 @Pinkandwhite It’s in the FAQs of their website. I haven’t received the email about the extension dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I would just add a word of caution that the website may not be up to date for all things. It still says JA auditions are held in the summer term, for example. So it may be that this year they will do preliminary auditions by video and do a short list and then see children in person in May half term as usual. I think they haven't committed to anything either way so far, so I would just be a bit cautious about assuming that the final results will be out in March/April for JA courses that start in September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutTheJourney Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I agree - I don’t think the FAQ have been updated for this year - and I would also note that I think that’s talking more about mid/senior associates. For JA the process was always a bit later in the year, auditioning in person in spring time roughly and results out in June. The website was a bit out of date re then summer intensives as well - they hadn’t updated it to make some changes which were in place for this year specifically. The ‘Apply Now’ button still says they may ask to see some people in person if they are able to. I’m as keen as anyone to know but I think it’s a while off yet, and even then there’s still likely to be a second round in person (altho maybe not if they’ve had less applicants this year?!)

Balletdreamsgoon Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi. I am new to this site. Can I ask a question on JA's if anybody knows the answer. Do the boys have a class on their own or is it mix. Also how many are in a class. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I believe from my email response .. however the application did say somewhere they would like to have them in person if rules allow? I’m sure I read that and it wasn’t a dream?
