MissEmily Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 @Blue Box BalletNot at all. RBS was very simple: At the barre: Pliés Tendus Grands battements in 4 counts Relevés In the centre: Sautés in 1st, 2nd and changements Galops with spring points Temps levés Arabesque Improvisation Hamstring and back stretches Splits Elmhurst was similar except they asked them to hold battements lents for 20 seconds in each position in the centre, and they did pirouettes. Tring was a much more complex class, involving pirouettes from the corner and developpés in the centre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noideaaboutballet Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Has anyone heard anything about the RBS’s reaction to the Red weather warning tomorrow? DH is concerned that we shouldn’t go! 🥴🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said the panel was made up of Mark Annear, Chris Powney and another former AD so it was an amazing opportunity. Almost like finals but just not at WL. Disappointingly they told the girls that they’d either hear today or Monday. Today hasn’t materialised and I think it’s a shame that they said that and are leaving them hanging over the weekend. We’re not expecting a yes at all at this stage but it would be great to know either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointeshoesarethedream Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I thought it might be Monday. Just a shame they said yesterday that it might be today. I’ve been jumping every time my email pinged 😫. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the many criticisms of the last few years when he has been absent at many key U.K. finals auditions (certainly for RBS US) have hit home....I see that as a very positive thing. Good luck to those on this journey....remember that ‘full time’ is not necessarily the be all end all.... Keep the Love first & foremost! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissEmily Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 In London, it was José Caryol, Mark Annear and Hope Keelan. I’d like to think the panel would be the same across all the centres at this strange to ensure consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissEmily Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 @SJBalletThey said again on Friday (after the extra audition date had been announced) that they would hear on Monday, so I really think they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissEmily Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 No idea about time. I’d assume later. Surely they’ll need to discuss, and I wouldn’t have thought they’d do that over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointeshoesarethedream Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Yes you may be right. I’d assumed seeing as they had said possibly Friday that they just need to get the emails sorted and press the button (wishful thinking on my part!)

AllAboutTheJourney Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I’m assuming later in the day - the last group on Friday was at 3pm I believe. Who knows, I’m constantly surprised by RBS 😂 we went out for dinner to celebrate tonight as wanted to reinforce to DD that we didn’t care about the results either way. She says she’ll be fine if it’s a No so hopefully we just move on if that’s the end of it. Sure she’ll be a little sad but i’m hoping it’s short-lived. Life lessons and all that… 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glowlight Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I remember my parents gave us gifts when we had finished taking important exams (11 plus and O levels spring to mind) - not when the results came out. I think its is great to celebrate the effort (which you have control over) rather than the result (which you really don't)! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
