Piccolo Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Almost certain it needs to be one minute, but if it’s slightly longer they won’t stop anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how long it should be? It is one minute and they are very strict about it. They will stop the music, it happened to a friend of my daughter. Hope this helps x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccolo Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Must have changed since dd did an audition there as hers was 1.30 or thereabouts and she wasn’t stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Maybe it depends on how many they are auditioning that day, and how much time they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTu Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Dd is auditioning at tring this week & it said no longer than 1 minute on the email we got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccolo Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Probably best to stick to one then to avoid any unnecessary anxiety over the possibility of being stopped mid solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreverdrivingtodance Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 My dd also auditioned on Tuesday.What a lovely school with such a happy feel.The Year 7 students that spoke when we were having the parents talk were a credit to the school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyLou Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The kids that spoke at the parents meeting were so enthusiastic. Was so clear to see how much they loved the school. What time did your dd audition? We were the 11am group. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreverdrivingtodance Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 We were in the previous group at 9am.The children that go there are extremely lucky.So nice to see the final part of the audition as well.Kind of dreading getting the letter! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyLou Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) I like that we get to see some of the audition. My dd is after a yr 8 place so we'd did this did last year. Last year she looked petrified and never looked up. This time round she looked so much more relaxed. She came out and said she'd had a brilliant time and is happy they got see her best; even if it's a no she's content now.

NicolaP17 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi, my dd also auditioned on Thursday for a yr 7 place, what an amazing school. I was wondering if they will contact us via email or post with the results and when? 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyLou Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 They give results via post usually within 7-10days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingWellies Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 2nd auditions are more fun, trying to work out the result from the size of envelope as the postman walks up the drive. From memory Elmhurst respond fairly quickly. Good luck to everyone, we went through this three years on the bounce, made it even sweeter when dd got a place. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicolaP17 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Oh dancingWellies that's amazing congrats to your daughter, it's only our first audition so we are just waiting to see if she has made finals. Thanks Sarah2203 fingers crossed 🤗 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lspendl828 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 My DDs audition for Elmhurst, Yr7, is in a couple of weeks. Should she wear her RBS JA leotard or should we avoid this? I can't decide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletmum55 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I was advised against it last year. If you’ve put it on the form, they’ll know what associate scheme she is with. Plus it’s not the most flattering leotard. However a couple of girls did for Elmhurst last year, but the vast majority of JAs didn’t, they wore something they felt most comfortable in and what flattered them best xx good luck to your dd x x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lspendl828 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks for that. You've made my mind up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArucariaBallerina Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hi all, what leotard is best to wear? Camisole/tank? High leg? Not black? I'm sure it has been asked before, but I just had an awful dream about turning up in the completely wrong dress for an audition ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicolaP17 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I wasn't aware of this, we are new to this so I did let my dd wear her JA leotard to the audition as I didn't put it on the form as it I don't think it asked? 🙈 I agree they are not the most flattering leotards, I guess you learn so much along the way.
