I told DD before her local dance classes on the Friday and she went straight to bed and didn’t want to come out. I let her have her time and by Saturday afternoon she felt able to see her dance friends. Sometimes they just need some time. I hope your DD bounces back quickly. X Thank you. We did the same and let her miss her Friday local class. Have said she has to be brave and go back to Elmhurst today though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DD got through to finals, she’s applying for year 8. She’s been a young dancer since year 4 and is now an extended, she applied last year for year 7 but never got finals. It was a little different for her last year as they were mostly on zoom but the teacher dosnt talk about it or anything, it’s not discussed in class x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletboy8 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi All - wondering whether anyone knows about the WL finals for boys. The dates have been moved to 7th & 8th of March. This causes us a difficulty, does anyone know how these days work - is it two days, is it one day with a call back, is the call back if they need to see more or is it the final stage for all those DC still in the running? Many thanks 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks 😃 I know some people have said it’s only 2 days if you get to the second but the info definitely says you will be there for both so that’s what I’m assuming. Our teacher told us some physio assessments take place on day 1 and some on day 2. But who knows!

Y7 girls if they get through semis are on the 3rd & 4th. I assume they have to get through the first day and then get called back for the second day. Similar to Elmhurst which is a bit rubbish if you have to book a hotel for 2 nights but don’t actually need the 2nd night! On this topic, @SJBallet did you check these dates with RBS after they changed the boys finals in case they changed these too? Boys were 10th & 11th then moved to 7th & 8th, so I wonder if the girls also moved🤷🏻♀️ I didn’t think finals would be as early as 3rd March when the last semis aren’t until 18th Feb, and it will probably take them a week or so to get results out so that would only mean one weeks notice. Although this is the first year they’ve had semis so anything is possible I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know where I got the dates from originally 😁 I think I emailed and asked. It may be a moot point if we do t get through semis 🙈. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BattementBatty Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Obviously it could be different this year but as a guide, 2 years ago we went with my eldest and the girls were there for both days. They put them in groups and it was a carousel of the different things (ballet class, physio, academic test, interview and lots of waiting around), over the 2 days. I think there was an extra ballet class that a smallish group had to stay for at the end of the second day. My daughter was not called back for that but got an MA place.

BattementBatty Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I think it was a bit of maths and a piece of writing, It's irrelevant as to whether you get in but just gives them a bit of an idea about those who they do select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancermom Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Does anyone know how the Elmhurst finals work? If you’re selected for a callback is that just a final check or could you still be turned down? My daughter is applying for year 8 and has a final audition.

It’s a long form to fill in so it’s annoying to have to start again for what will be the third time! UPDATE The registrar has just emailed to say the IT department are working to fix it so they will be in touch when it is working.

Ottobotto Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Can I just double check - is everyone completing the forms for Hammond just paying the £160? I just can't see that this is a reasonable request if it's not returned if you don't get a place. Or am I totally naive? Is this the going rate of the MDS audition everywhere?? Our dance teacher thinks not and thinks this seems a bit much as do I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had expected it though after reading past years info. So whilst I’m gutted that it’s £160 I won’t get back if she doesn’t get funding, at least I’ll know I’ve done my bit. However I do appreciate that not everyone will be able to lay this out. As far as I’m aware Hammond are the only ones that ask for this before the audition but I could be wrong.
