My daughter auditioned for classmates in March and has now been invited in for ‘blue kids’ on Friday. Does anyone know what the ‘blue kids’ are? I’m thinking maybe the older kids in the school as my daughter is relatively tall....

They need to be competent with a dance background, able to navigate stairs and travel at speed and move like machines dominating the hallways.

Must be excellent dancers. Think Flawless, Diversity types.

Scarlet
Looking for a variety of different types for this group, think individuality.

Blue

This is the strongest ability dance group and need VERY physically confident and experienced dancers.

I was wondering that too - I think it varies group to group - blue is up to 4’11’ but I think others are much smaller. Also wondering if all groups require the kids to be London based?

I heard rumours they re filming near the Chilterns, so I doubt only London based kids. Most film studios are outside of London. x

Yes, I would think Pinewood or Shepperton - maybe location shoots in Chilterns?

We have not heard anything so I think my daughter is out.

Good luck everyone. x
