Myveryownbillyelliot Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thank you pastel this forum is a god send it really is! If possibly a little addictive! Positive thought for all those dc's awaiting results and plenty of chocolate and hugs for the no's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amber21 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thank you for all your kind comments. It is much more upsetting than I thought it would be. None of us like our dc's to be hurt or rejected do we? I think getting into ja's after only taking up ballet months previous possibly made it a little too easy the first time around. I wasn't even expecting a place for him but I so wanted him together to finals for his self esteem, nothing else. Ah well, it can't be changed can it? I am a little reluctant to speak to his JA teacher about why he wasn't successful this time as it does say on the letter that no discussion will be entered into as to why a place was not offered. I am sorry for your news, it is a delight when our children are accepted into JAs however if you look at the number of Jas to actual places available in WL and mid associates you will see how hard it is for the royal to choose for further training . . . And that's without non JAs. As already shared there are lots of other routes into a career in dance and even though the royal is a dream for many realistically it's not about whether your son is good enough it's about what they see on the day. My Dd has been in since year 4 and whenever we visit work shops in London I sit and think how lovely all the children are and wow how I would find it hard to choose 24 children out of these as it must be so difficult as they are all potentially talented children in the mere fact that they have been chosen for Jas. there are also many talented non JAs so the odds are stacked against all of the dc auditioning for so few places. If your ds is passionate he will inevitably carry on with your support. . . Good luck! Axx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myveryownbillyelliot Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 A bit confused about where I am supposed to post results. Should it be here or lower school auditions? Hope it's ok to say that my ds got a yes to Elmhurst finals today! So very happy for him after the upset of White Lodge 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
