Ja Sm Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 My dd has an audition for a place on Central's prep course. It looks great. Does anyone have any experience of it? What was the audition like? She is auditioning for a year 7 place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Hi, do you mean centrals associate course on a Saturday? My Dd is in prep 3 she auditioned last year and started last September she is in year 10. I do not know if the audition for all ages/levels are the same, bit DD said her audition was a simple ballet class. A teacher took the class and demonstrated the exercises,there was also two more people watching. Dd says not to be afraid to speak up if your DD does not understand anything as dd asked a question about something and the teacher was lovely and really explained the exercise to her. Dd loves the classes we have to travel 2 1/2 hours each way and alot of people thing we are mad for doing so, but there has been a big improvement in her technique since she has been there.

Lilac Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I have a dd in Prep 2. It has definitely brought on her ballet - she is able to do exams sooner with the extrs work on her technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miracle Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Hi All, have you heard from Central yet Ja Sm? Has anyone else heard yet. Edited June 16, 2012 by Miracle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja Sm Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) We heard last Thursday, but it was a no. Dd very disappointed and I was very upset, I have to admit. It's certainly a tough world out their. So much talent, so many better dancers, so few places. Heigh ho!

Anna C Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Really sorry to hear that, Ja Sm. :-( x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It was a no for year 10 place, heard another no for year 11 place but heard of a yes for year 8 student. I heard prior off a parent that there is only 2 places for this september. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 2 places for the whole Associate Scheme, Amethyst? I'd be very surprised if that were true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 That's just what I was told by someone with a child who is already part of the associates. I personally didn't ask at central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 No offence, but I think that parent has got it wrong. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Perhaps it was two places available in their particular group? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 That sounds more likely taxi. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliepops Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 When DD auditioned for year 11 last year she was one of only two girls to get a place in pre senior ladies, and I think only two or perhaps three places were offered for prep 3 (i'm sure there will be a prep 3 parent out there who can give the correct number if it was more than that ). We know a couple of MA's that didn't get places for Central but did for London Senior Ballet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballerinaX Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 i did central prep 2 and prep 3. i found all the classes i attended there to be challenging but also very enjoyable. i do not regret being there for two years as i learnt so much! its a really great experience and i think it could really benefit anyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
