SissonneDoublee Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Definitely socks while still primary age. Also elastics on ballet shoes as they may well take shoes and socks off, and need to be able to put them back on themselves. YDs and full-time students all wear waist elastics (belts) as they help to show alignment, so wear one if you have one. Yup, Bristol Road. Depending on which way you approach it you may need to drive straight past and loop back when u turns are permitted. Good luck!

Huge good luck to anyone auditioning this weekend! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Y5 auditioning for Y6 wear socks? And it’s def at Elmhurst on Bristol road isn’t it 😁 Definitely socks at that age you can see their lines better. They where socks for young dancer lessons anyway. The school is really easy to find and yes it’s on Bristol Road. Good luck to you DD it really is a lovely scheme my DD has really enjoyed her time with EYD. Edited May 19, 2021 by Ballet Dreams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBM Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi there- my daughter auditioned for the Year 7 elmhurst associates. If she were lucky enough to be accepted I was hoping I could take some guidance from people if it would be worth accepting. We live 1.45hr away and I’m happy to do the drive if it will genuinely progress her. Also can someone explain the difference between Elmhurst & RB? sorry I’m quite new to these associate programmes x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firecracker Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Has anyone else auditioned this morning? My dd was in group 1 at 9.30 and came out beaming asking if she could do it again. Very pleased with that as it's her first in person audition. Hope we find out quite quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can someone explain the difference between Elmhurst & RB? sorry I’m quite new to these associate programmes x We drove both our DDs for 1hr 45 for 3 years each. The first time it was def worth it. Recently with covid there was no jazz class and ballet class was only 1hr 15. I don't think it was worth it but as we were so close to the end we carried on. I have resented it a bit though to be honest! It would have been much better to have a longer class lesson often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She may not even get in (no idea how long it takes for results) but it’s good to have some insight into things. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovedancing Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Is anyone from the South Wales area interested in sharing lifts for afternoon classes next year? We are struggling a little with this.
