HappyGirl Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Congrats to Mumofpinks, dancing pickles, dancerdad and anyone else who's had good news so far. So excited for you all!! And agree that the philosophy of 'there's always next year' is great for those that haven't been as lucky this time round. Now I'm just trying not to let all the yes's on here skew my sense of reality for dd's results, which we're still waiting for!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Many congratulations to all the yes`s. Sorry to hear of all the no`s. There is always next year,if your child wants to try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooZoo Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 This is very exciting - congratulations to all the YESs. Â Please don't be too downhearted with a NO. Â My DS tried for year 4 and got a NO but has just got into WL for year 7 so a NO now is certainly a disappointment but not the end of the story. Â We auditioned again for year 5 and got in that time. Â In a way I was happy it was just JAs for years 5 and 6 as for us there was a lot of travelling anyway. Â I am sure that there are lots of similar stories out there. Â Just being asked by your dance teacher to audition for JAs is a huge achievement. Â For those of you with YESs exciting times lie ahead. Â It can seem like you have stepped onto a conveyor belt of auditions/boarding school etc which is not really something that I truly contemplated when we started off on the journey all those years ago. Â Remember - you can step off the conveyor belt if you want, but if you are enjoying it stay on and enjoy the ride! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfbrew Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Congratulations to your ds ZooZoo, I hope he will be as happy as mine was. Â Be warned though, that conveyor belt will shortly become a 5 star roller coaster....! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 So.... Birmingham results tomorrow? And then end of the wait for us - Bath results on Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeleftfeet Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I sure hope so Happymum! It's been very helpful to read all these posts from current/past JA parents but I'm still a wreck from waiting. It's DDs birthday this week. If it's a no I'm not telling her till next week! If it's a yes it'll be a very happy birthday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGirl Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Does that mean there's a chance London results could be out before the end of this week when audition was only week before last? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I looked back at my post from last year - looks like we got our letter (London audition) on 15th June. Â So there's a chance, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happymum Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 So sorry it's a "no" Grumpybearzuk, they sadly don't have many places in year 6 JA classes as most will be taken by current year 5 JAs. Your DD must be a lovely dancer if she was offered a place at Elmhurst Saturday classes and JA waiting list last year. Hope she's fine! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMabbutt Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hi, I'm new to the forum. We just got a no from Birmingham too. I'm leaving it till tomorrow to let my daughter know. Hoping we don't get the tears we got last year when she tried for year 4. At least she still has her Elmhurst JA class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lema Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Birmingham results are out.......and it was a yes for us!! Totally shocked and excited!! Xx 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lema Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 So sorry for all the no's, dd auditioned for Elmhurst last year and got a no so just proves not to give up as got yes this year from oral ballet JA's xxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletsister Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 At the audition when they said results via email instead of letters I initially thought that would be better. However nearly two weeks down the line I am constantly checking emails whereas last year, when awaiting results, once the post had been I could switch off for another day and I think that's preferable! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpybearzuk Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thank you happy mum to be honest she wasn't as enthusiastic as the last 2 years and she loves elmhurst so much , so much that that is the only school she wants to audition full time ! Just disappointed as she got waiting list last year, but as we now know from these last few years there are plenty more good options well done to the yes's and sorry for the no's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeleftfeet Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 We're a no this year, particularly upsetting as we were a swl last year. Going backwards doesn't seem to offer any chance of optimism somehow. Won't be telling her till after her birthday but before elmhurst auditions on Friday. Oh dear. Congrats to the yes's though, happy times xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Congratulations to your DC Lema! Sorry to hear about "no" emails. I preferred letters as well Balletsisters. Even though I know that Bath results should be out tomorrow I keep checking my emails constantly since the first results were out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpybearzuk Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I know what you mean twiglet we was on SWL too and she's been having private lessons with a ex royal ballet student who my mum knows and got a no this year and she thinks she's amazing ! And has right physique so I personally feel fed up with it but i know my dd will just keep on going !! Xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpybearzuk Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I have told my dd Aly , not sure if I should have waited till after elmhurst assessments though as she is slightly deflated today and don't want it to affect her confidence as she does take things personally . Hope your dd is ok . Xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellen Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hi Grumybearzuk - I had to get her to tap and jazz class straight after school so will tell her later - it will be the talk of the morning at Elmhurst so best they know before the assessments ? !  I 'm hoping her ballet Teacher will give her some words of encouragement tomorrow - my dd thinks all she says is golden so hopefully it'll help her Thanks - hope ur DD is ok and really really hoping that they get through the assessments now   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
