At least they’re all in the same position, and I think sometimes not having us parents around can be a good thing! It’s just a shame we won’t get to tour the school, which I presume in normal times would be the case. Yes it’s a shame we can’t look around the school. Maybe they’ll arrange for the ones they accept into the school to look around with parents later in the summer when everything’s a bit more normal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitJeté Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think that would make sense @Dancermom, there was talk of a possible virtual tour, but I don’t know if anything came of that. Oh well, one step at a time, at least we can see it from the outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) I too think they must be planning on doing an open day or something in the summer for students who accept their place and parents to come and look around. I hope so anyway! If my DS was lucky enough to end up with a place I’d definitely like to look around. I’m going to just send my DS with a book, but tbh I don’t think he’ll read it I think he’ll be too busy watching everyone else dance and looking around as it’ll be so exciting for them! x Edited February 27, 2021 by Bunny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he goes there TO make friends and doesn’t get the concept of how competitive it all is just yet (thankfully for him). 😅 He came out of JA auditions telling me about the friends he’d made - their names, where they travelled from, their interests. 😂 He was so super relaxed at that one though. I'm so pleased my ds is it the same group as yours. He is not competitive at all, just loves dancing. So now a bit worried about what he's going to be like if everyone around him is stretching etc. His dance school is so friendly, there's only about 20 dancers and one other, older, boy who made him feel at ease from the minute that he started there. Maybe I'm too naive, but I just want him to go, have a fun afternoon dancing, enjoy himself and see what happens. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish mine was a bit more driven, he likes ballet but sometimes can lose focus. But yes, so glad he will see your ds friendly face and meet others from all over. They are too young to be too stressed abut it in my opinion. It is a big experience but won't define the rest of their lives either. And they have done so well already reaching finals. I think parents not being allowed in might actually help as we are probably more nervous than they are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red shoes Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think they’ve time it that way so one group auditioning as other waits around for physio check then the ones who’ve had the check leave as the audition class finishes to have physio check and next group arrives for class?

Ballerina_girl Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Just out of interest does anyone know which types of tests can be entered into the nhs track and trace app that they mentioned on the email? I rang 119 and they didn’t have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitJeté Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 @Weloveballet from the email, it sounds like the lateral flow ones. What I’m a little confused about is, when you download the Test & Trace app, you have to say you are over 16, but presumably it’s ok to enter a test result into it on behalf of a child? I guess it just goes by the code on the test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the work based lateral flow tests are entered through the government website but you still get a result from the NHS which is the evidence that Royal want to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancermom Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 So I think it’s usually a text message from the NHS, would that be ok to show?

Raquelle Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hello. We are probably going to have to source a covid test either from Chester after hammond audition or from somewhere near Richmond the day before/of royal ballet audition. Just wondered if anyone lived local to these places and had managed to source a suitable test? Didn't think about the fact that I might not be near my home x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
