atacrossroads Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The Elmhurst letters are arriving today for 16th audition date (or at least the first session that my dd was in). She has been called back for finals and I wish everyone else waiting good luck too! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlady Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 well done! Unfortunatly my dd recieved a 'No' but she has picked herself up and is working hard on her next audition in December. It is quite strange but no-one she knows from her audition group/school got a 'yes' so a super well done to those that did!! T 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldermum Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well done to the yeses and hugs to the nos. Can't believe it's 12 months since our journey began, dd enjoying every minute of being a Elmhurst and living her dream. Good luck for the finals, but whatever happens enjoy the experience it's only one direction and if it's not a final yes maybe it just means your dancing route is a different one or you've arrived just a little too early. You're probably where you are today cos of a great teacher and she'll still be there for you.My dd tried several routes one she missed out on getting reserve place which never materialised and another she believed wasn't for her, but she wouldn't swap where she is now for anything and but she'd have happily stayed with her dance teacher and carried on working hard and enjoying all the experiences she got there and she did get loads from festivals, panto, ISTD awards in both ballet and modern and she even danced in the Nutcracker with the Northern Ballet, school shows, so going away can be a sacrifice as well as dream. Don't ever stop believing in yourself dance from your heart and your love of dance will shine through. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siconne50 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Good to hear your dd is loving elmhurst oldermum, my dd is looking forward to the final audition, can you tell me a bit about the interview & academic tests are they hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoobydigger Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Have had a txt off my friend .... Her DD was a no for a yr9 place ..... Just a waiting game now, she has been to Hammond today for audition .... Will just have to wait for that letter now ..... She was offered a non funded boarding place at Tring so not sure what path she will take at this stage ..... Tick tock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All4dancers Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It was a 'no' for my dd too for a yr 9 place, but she knew it would be so isn't too upset. A massive well done for all those with 'yes' letters. We know one potential Yr9 who got a call back. Good luck to everyone for finals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlady Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 My DD's No was for a 6th form place so they must have sent a lot of letters out at once for different audition dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribbons Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi all, Could anyone who's DD/DS's have done the Yr 7 interview & academic tests please advise me as I've got an anxious 10yr old who's thinking all sorts! what sort of questions are they asked, whats in the test, are they hard etc etc? Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance... Hi there Tippy_Toes Please tell your dc not to worry - it is all about the dance potential (as seen in the dance class which takes place in the school theatre for finals and the related physio). There is no interview at Elmhurst and the academic tests are along the lines of standard grammar school entrance exams and have no bearing on the outcome of a place being offered. You can buy practise packs for the type of academic tests sat at Elmhurst if that will help allay fears or you can find some free samples online. Not sure if they did the full range of tests (ie verbal non verbal English and ,maths) - I will ask DD when she calls tonight. Good luck for finals - hope you can both relax and enjoy the day as Elmhurst is a really lovely welcoming school.xx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribbons Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi angela_stapleton Thank you so much for the above info. I'll have a look at the weekend & try to find a few on line test papers that may help. My DD is so relieved that there's no interview, as that was what she was most worried about! Many Thanks xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siconne50 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi. Tippy toes, my dd will be at yr 7 finals too, glad there isnt an interview as that is what she was most worried about! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribbons Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Hi balletjack, It's such a scary thought attending an interview as an adult let alone a 10yr old! My DD definitley seems more relaxed now & is really looking forward to the finals! - Good luck to your DD as well x Edited December 5, 2012 by Tippy_Toes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
