Tendu_mum Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Hello everyone, I thought I’d start a new thread for everyone who’s child got offered a place in the Royal Ballet school Junior Associates starting September 2023! I thought it would be useful when we all first start out on this journey to discuss dates, groups, uniform, first days etc, and how they’re getting on during their first term and onwards. Congrats to everyone, it really is very exciting! 🩰 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllAboutTheJourney Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Some of it might well be out of date but there is still some useful information in the thread linked below if anyone fancies a read. It was an equivalent Newbie thread from the year my older DC started JAs: https://www.balletcoforum.com/topic/20539-rbs-junior-associate-newbies/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeballerinas Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Hello, My daughter has just been accepted onto the y6 associates program in Leeds. Completely unexpected to be honest. We just went along for the audition experience as she’s never had an audition before. Even though I have been a dance mum for 10 years we have no experience with an associate program so a complete newbie. I do feel that the information is rather vague from the school regarding dates/ times/ how often ect and just wondered if anyone knew. We live around 80 miles away and it’s a huge commitment for us so before I accept I just wondered if anyone could help advise. thank you in advance x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threeballerinas Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Thank you. I have read through this as this is where I found the new thread but I couldn’t really find the information I was looking for. I have emailed royal ballet so hopefully they get back to me soon.

Tendu_mum Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Hi everyone! 👋 I wonder how many places were offered in each centre? Does anyone who has previous experience of this know if we’ll ever find out? There’s at least 3 of us with a Y5 place on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanceMum82 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Hi my DD has just been offered a yr 4 place at the Eastleigh centre.

Laura Armitage Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Thank you. I don't suppose you've any idea when they will let us know? I don't want to be a pain, I just need to let his current dance school know so she can adjust her timetable. I'm guessing they are super busy waiting on replies of acceptance.

We are the same, really hoping she’ll be able to continue with her current dance classes as well! I wonder whether it’ll be next week we find out, once they’ve sorted the swl places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
