She was great if she was disappointed she hid it well , she has a place at ballet boost in September anyway so I’m sure that softened the blow she still wants to try for BTUK associates but I’m not sure I can face another audition 🤣

 

How quickly did ballet boost get results out after she auditioned? 
 

DD missed Manchester audition, but they’ve said she can still apply for September by video or attend an “in class” audition. 
 

I really want to see how the different classes are run.  DD dance teacher wants to prep her for RBS next year, but I don’t want to put all her eggs in that basket when RBS places seem hardest to get!

I'm driving myself crazy checking my emails. My daughter's auditioned for Manchester yr4 so not overly hopeful but would like to know either way. 

Same! Not hopeful at all, but just need to know for sure 😂

 

I'm wondering if they won’t come out today though because it’s the coronation.

Just got an email!!! Dd has been offered a place for Year 4! Quite shocked!

Amazing so did my year 4 daughter! I'm really shocked! She won't know anyone so a little nervous. Does anyone know the time of the class as I'm now panicking if we can get her there?

@sunrise81 @Nicolamcaree can I just ask- what level are your DDs? How much dance are they doing a week currently and when did they start dance?

 

It seemed like the standard of dancers was really high. DD is started private lessons once a week, as well as one extra class (tap/modern) and will audition again next year if she’s progressed a lot now that we know the expected standard!!

She is at a small school. She does 1 hour of ballet a week. But has just started ballet boost which is once a month. Overall she dances 4hours a week, ballet, tap, jazz, commercial and acro. She is in grade 1 RAD. Hope this helps. X

Just want to also say. My eldest daughter got a no the first year for RB and auditioned again the next year and got a yes. So always hope x

@Nicolamcaree 

 

thanks. I think my DD isn't a “natural” dancer and also she’s not even 8 until end of August, but she loves it so much. So i figure a bit more dance this year and see how she gets on.
 

 DD is also auditioning for ballet boost for September, so if she does get into that I’m sure that’ll help her as well. 


@sunrise81 sounds like your daughter IS a natural!! 🥰

Thank you!

 

She does have great feet and knows how to use turn out too! She is ridiculously strong from her gymnastics lesson, and is very petite but well proportioned with long legs. She isn't as advanced technically as some of the others we saw there, but that doesn't matter at an associated programme as they take it back to basics and train them in their style. Will see what happens!!!!

 

Good luck with Ballet Boost too!!! That is also supposed to be a great programme :)

Has anyone had audition times for Elmhurst Extended Dancers Yr9 upwards on Saturday?? 
When did others find out about their audition times from other auditions??

We haven't received anything either. Reading the comments above, I think we should hear today or tomorrow.
