MAK Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks Petalviolet , I'm sure she'll be fine - she wasn't expecting anything else. Hope you have better news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobag06 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 No for us too. Hugely disappointed dd, but she'll be ok once she's over the shock. She did get into NYB this season, so I am hoping that will soften the blow. Good luck everyone still waiting, and hugs to you and dd, MAK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amos73 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Didn't mean to post twice. Just wanted to say to those with nos remember it's just a 'not now' not a 'never'. Ds auditioned last year and got straight no, this year swl. She has worked very hard in last 12 months and it has paid off. So keep going! Ps my 'like' quota must have been topped up as I am able to like again now?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southerndancemum Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've just caught up on all this - some of the posts are so amusing. Sorry to hear the no but don't give up. R had a straight no least year ( and it was suggested too is not to bother again) so so glad e didn't listen. PetalV - we auditioned for London at Eastleigh. Got offered Eastleigh place or swl at London... No Brainer lol So we will be starting in Sept at Eastleigh. I have no clue what happens next, what she'll need etc. She was so excited when I Skyped her to give the news. It still hasn't really sunk in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAK Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Really sorry to hear this Alfred71 - I was hoping it was going to be better news for those who hadn't heard earlier today, not least because you deserve better after the torturous wait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petalviolet Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 And it's ELBOWS IN AND HEAD DOWN DD ITS THE CHUTE. Ok for others who haven't bothered reading previous ramblings it was a No but a very nice try again. Well done us lot for getting through. DD was just fab and took it on the chin plus we can now start properly getting excited for Tring and YDA so all in all feel pretty lucky and grateful to have those opportunities. And thanks to this forum I've had a jolly good laugh today, why lovely camaraderie and we wouldn't even have known about any of the other associate schemes if it wasn't for Balletco so this really is an amazing forum and I'm so pleased I found it. Now for a drinkie poo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Aww - well done to your DD for taking it so well. The company just gets better & better !! I feel like we are in the cool "no " club . Haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petalviolet Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Absolutely! It's the Balletco breakfast club sort of! Ours were all trying for Year 4? I guess there's plenty of time and just like they say children are still developing and who knows where their journeys will lead? it's lovely just to get the chance to audition and that they have all found something they love and ballet is a beautiful thing to enjoy. Big thank you for today it's been such fun/stressful as hell but so much better than just pottering back from swimming and getting an email from nowhere that I was totally unprepared for. Balletco is like our secret weapon of insider info! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 This is probably for another thread (and definitely for another day!) but interested to hear how your DD gets on at Tring and YDA Petalviolet - and anyone else taking up an Associate place elsewhere from September.
