Millicent Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Just wondering if Elmhurst send out results after each of their 3 semi-final dates (for girls) or send them all out together at the end? Also, how many usually go through to finals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletBelle Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hi I don't know about Y7 entry - but for upper school, they wait for all the semi-finals to take place before inviting dancers back to the finals. If you're in the first semi-final, it can feel like a long wait... (although it's actually only 2.5 weeks 🤣) Good luck - I hope you get the result that you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrid Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Last year for year 7 semis we auditioned on Tuesday and found out on the Friday afternoon. So about three days? For finals I think it took longer - from what I remember about ten days? Someone else with better memory might be able to confirm that. I think the finals were on a tue/wed and were two days and we found out the following Friday. x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrid Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Also with regards to number I feel like maybe there was about 40 at finals in different groups and then after the first day they cut it down to about 25? Which in my opinion was the most brutal part and completely wrong for such young children having to go through that. We had to wait and get an email at the end of the first day which came around 5. The second day again they were split into groups (two groups I think) Again someone might correct me on numbers! Good luck xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 Thank you. I didn't realise that for finals they do a cut after the first day, I thought everyone attended both days. I suppose at least you know that it's a no straight away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissEmily Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 They’re changing the system this year: fewer will get through to finals but everyone will attend both days. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutTheJourney Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) That sounds like a much better system - the way they did it last year with the cut after Day 1 sounded brutal. Didn't affect us personally as DC didn't apply there but I know how hard it was for some others and if you had to travel any distance/stay overnight then it was massively unhelpful. Good to hear that it sounds like they've taken the feedback on board. Edited January 26, 2023 by AllAboutTheJourney Clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachH Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 My daughter auditioned last Tuesday and they said we’d hear back within 12 working days. Those who auditioned this Tuesday were told 10 working days. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that it sounds like they've taken the feedback on board. Yes agree - we didn’t feed back ourselves, but know a fair few people that did. It wasn’t nice, extremely nerve wracking sitting watching the emails, not knowing if another night in the hotel was needed and it didn’t help matters that the WL results came out the evening before and so there was already a lot of emotion amongst all the little DCs. I’m glad to hear they have changed it this year. Hopefully will be a much nicer experience for them all 💛My DD enjoyed it and had a lovely time with her friends but got into the car at the end of it and burst into tears, two days of not knowing what was coming next was a lot for her (and me!! 😬😂).

Millicent Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 Oh good that sounds like a much better system to have fewer people at the final but 2 days. Any idea of how many are likely to be in the final this year? If they're not doing a cut maybe there will only be 25/30? They videod the auditions so I thought they might review them all at the end for any they're not sure about. 12 working days from the 17th is 2nd Feb so that's after all of the auditions.

Babyballerinamum Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Slightly off topic. But does anyone know how many weekends the children are allowed to go home if they go to Elmhurst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissEmily Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 They have “leave out” every three weekends, when they leave at 14:45 on Friday and return on Sunday evening. They have to go home/ to a guardian those weekends. The Year 7s can go home as many weekends as they like in the first term, until their RAD lessons start on Saturday mornings in January. However, due to various factors, this year, those Saturday lessons haven’t started for them yet so they are still able to go home as often as they like so long as notice is given. Depending on how close you live, they could still go home from Saturday lunchtime until Sunday evening if they wanted to. My pupil has been going home more often than every three weekends, but not because SHE wants to! She’s having far too much fun, but her parents want her home, understandably.

Millicent Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 RBS have told me there is no clash with Elmhurst finals. The dates given to the Eastleigh JAs were apparently provisional dates and they have now been changed. They haven't said when RBS finals are but there is definitely no clash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 Anyone else confused by the final audition email? It sounds like they are doing the same as in previous years and doing a cut after the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 Actually, reading it again I'm even more confused as they are inviting us to a lunch and school tour on the second day. So maybe they just mean that the content of the day will depend on panel deliberations rather than if you will be invited back or not for day 2. It says the itinerary for day 2 won't be emailed until 4pm on day 1 due to panel deliberations. I wonder if it means they won't know until then whether they want to see certain people again or do a repeat physio or something like that?
