~Vetty~ Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hi my DD has her audition for Elmhurst upper on Tuesday. The letter stated she should have clothing for Classical ballet which is all sorted. Does she go underdressed? With something appropriate over the top or do they get changed there. It isn't quite clear and this is her first audition. I'm quite excited for her however she's nervous x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't quite clear and this is her first audition. I'm quite excited for her however she's nervous xHi VettyMy DD went with her hair done, ballet clothes on (underdressed) and warm outer clothes. They will get taken to some changing rooms where they can change into their ballet shoes. Good luck! Ax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneypenny Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Vetty - would definitely go under-dressed ready for ballet as there aren't generally changing facilities available. Good luck to your dd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Vetty~ Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thank you amber21 and Moneypenny for your quick replies. At least I can sleep tonight instead of thinking it through continuously Bet she takes hours tomorrow deciding what to wear over the top lol.

Moneypenny Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Lema, Congratulations to your dd for getting to finals ... final audition basically consists of a ballet class and a physio examination. From memory they also get a tour of the school, as do the parents on finals day, as well as a look at the accommodation and possibly a talk from the principal and academic head. It's been a while since I was at finals with my dd, so the format may have changed a little. Best of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lema Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thank you everyone I am very proud, also very proud of how dd has took the news, she has remained calm and said she won't get too excited as it could still en in a no but she is proud of herself for getting this far!!

Miracle Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 My DD did todays upper school audition. What was lovely was that they stopped the audition for the two minute silence and asked them to bow their heads. The Audition was 1 hour in and still had 30 mins left to go.
