E2 dance Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hi - we’ve had a no this morning, but my DD has been put on a waiting list. Nothing about auditioning again though so not sure what to think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DS went there along side RBS JA's and Ballet Boost and thoroughly enjoyed it. He is still there now and has been offered a year 10 place at white lodge so highly recommend. May is their big intake so have a better chance of getting in then rather than September Thank you for the helpful insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachH Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I’d also really recommend London Junior Ballet - my 9 year old has had a lovely year with them, despite most of it being online. Happy to discuss if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gutted for her. That’s disappointing, Tiny13. I would say though that all children mature at different rates, especially skeletally and in strength, so they won’t all have the strength to hold and work in sustained turnout at the same age. That’s one reason why the age ranges in the groups at CBA are mixed. If she’s young, there is no hurry at all to start Associates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyDance Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Sorry to hear the "not yet" emails have arrived. I hope your DCs are not too upset and that they'll bounce back, continue to enjoy dancing and perhaps audition again, whether here or for other schemes that have been recommended/suggested. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my daughter is a bit older than yours, but she still has so many years of loving dancing ahead of her so while I know she’ll be upset (I haven’t told her yet, we already had anxiety about going back to school!), I’m confident that this won’t ultimately be ‘the end’ of wanting to pursue what is currently her dream. There are other associate programmes(I know Ballet Boost take them from 8 years old), people to meet, things to learn and years to grow. Everything they do adds to their experience and for your little one to do this at her age is absolutely incredible and she must have such determination and courage. You must be so proud of her. Sending lots of sympathy and luck for the next time for you! Thank you so much. I never thought this would be such an emotional rollercoaster! However it gives my little girl something to work towards, in a way perhaps it’s a good thing that it doesn’t come easily to her and will make her really appreciate her place if she ever gets in! Commiserations to you and your daughter too xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one reason why the age ranges in the groups at CBA are mixed. If she’s young, there is no hurry at all to start Associates. Thank you! Whilst we are gutted I think it’s a fair decision. When she was having to do the releves in pirouette position (something they don’t do in G2 RAD) she was a tad wobbly. She doesn’t have the greatest strength in her ankles at present as she suffers from severe diseases which I have been told she will grow out of but at present she needs to build the strength up. We have recently changed dance schools with an actual studio so think that should help her to improve her technique. She’s never danced in a studios with mirrors and barres so is super excited to start this evening. I’m sure this is just the start of no’s but we will learn to grow from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny13 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 What are everyone’s thoughts on a 7 year old - almost 8 taking a PBT class. In my daughters feedback email it said she needed to gain strength and build on her technique so was thinking this could really help her. Is she too young?

My 7 year old does it... we often have to put her ball against a wall and help a bit.. she has only ever done it on zoom but I think she has improved xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a Sub Junior section ages 5 to 7. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
