Lilac Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Apologies if this has been covered in a previous thread! My DD is just entering her third term at CBA and we have as assessment looming on 11th may. DD is wanting to know more about this, so would be very interested to hear anyone's experiences. Is it largely a question of deciding who to move up? Are any DCs exited, and if so does anyone know on what grounds. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Last year an outside assessor came in and watched the classes. The class as a whole received some feedback from him afterwards. We then received a letter in the post with a chart of scores against various categories one was flexibility another I think was musicality and things like adage and allegro. can't lay my hands on DD's score sheet at the moment so not sure of all the categories but there were 10. At the bottom of the score sheet it said what group DD would be in next term (Sept onwards). From what DD has said it was a normal class with the assessor observing them all and taking notes, but I think they all had numbers pinned on their leotards. DD is not nervous or particularly excited, she doesn't expect to move up this year as she is still the youngest in her group. It really isn't anything to worry about, they don't assess out very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilac Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Any ideas how soon the letter comes? Have just been through assessment elsewhere which led to worse case scenario after a five week wait! A second dose would be very traumatic.

Loulabelle Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Definitely not 5 weeks! 2 maybe?? Can't remember sorry! Must have been less than 2 as DD knew by the next time she went. Edited April 24, 2014 by Loulabelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circe Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Good luck for your dd Lilac and sorry to hear about the worst case scenario, I hope she is ok.

Danceroo Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ours arrived today. I am sure the post is just delayed so don't worry. Dd has moved up to group 3 and is delighted .I did want to ask is there only one opportunity to move classes during the year? Or do they move students up at other times too? Hopefully letter will arrive tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilac Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Letter came and with good news of a move to next class. This came with a score of 75. Does anyone know as it's DD's first year there, what age does the CBA go up to, is it 16 or 18? Been a bit worrying as she lost her place at Central associates, so really pleased about this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifeafterballet? Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Can anyone please confirm if this Sunday is the last CBA for the term? I have tried to email but no reply. Nothing to do with assessments sorry but thought this would be the right people to answer the question!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I have it in my calendar as the last one this term. :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yes it is - originally it was the week after, but they moved it to the 29th June. It must be because they now have a dance day event "Access All Areas" on the 6th July. Spaces still available for booking that I think - check the website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfbrew Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I have it in my calendar as the last one this term. :-) And its on the 2014-15 CBA calendar on Trings website as 29th June. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeafterballet? Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yes it is - originally it was the week after, but they moved it to the 29th June. Thank you Taxi4ballet - last term they issued a revised timetable - I'm guessing it's normal time this term as we haven't heard different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think so - in previous years they changed the timetable around on the last week of term, but now I think they keep it the same (she said, fingers crossed!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found an email advising of the change - it came from Nicola Denton on 9 April. I think the timetable changed for us last term as group 5&6 were combined which is where I thought every last session changed! Thanks everyone for your help.
