Off piste slightly (and massive well done to all the recalls and yesses for finals!) but the LSC website confuses me slightly - can you do a 3 year degree in classical ballet there? Or is it a degree in theatre dance and a postgrad year in ballet?

There is no 3 year degree course in a special type of dance at LSC. Everybody has the same classes in the first 2 years and specialises in the 3rd year. There are quite a few options to chose from every term in the first 2 years which allow you to do more ballet or jazz or singing for example but everybody does the same Theatre dance degree. LSC is a wonderful school but not a ballet school perse...

I'm sorry to hear that Katymac... To answer your question, DD1 auditioned last year at 16 and started this year at 17 so it's least a year old. DD2 auditioned this year and she is 16. The UCAS points are still needed though... Maybe my DDs were allowed to audition because they where in their last year of secondary school... Is your DD happy where she is?

Could it be afab, that your your DD1 had completed her statutory schooling in France so was eligible? Dancers in UK will not have completed schooling until 18 so can only apply then.  

 

LSC used to accept at 16, the last year they did so was 2009 entry, and from 2010 onwards it has became age 18.

Yes it was the 280 pts - not allowed to be made up of Dance/Music exams - but to include level 3 or A level results

 

There was no way she would get Alevels at the local college - the teacher greet them on the first day with the topics they won't cover in class - generally good students spend 3-5 hrs a day on indepentant study & coursewwork so she would pretty much have to give up dance

 

We look at her living with family for her Alevels to go to a better school but decided the Diploma was the best idea & tbh it's worked out fine & she is loving it

She is year 6 Miracle, and goes to West London School of Dance (the non vocational branch of YDA)  but trains with the year 7s and 8s at YDA.

 

She knows of 2 year 11 girls who have got finals for Royal there.

Hi was wondering if anyone could help me- I've got my Laine audition near the end of March, I've confirmed my audition date and everything is fine, I've got the email letter with the nearest hotels etc and how to bring the music for solos etc but can't seem to find the letter or info about the audition day and how long the solo needs to be or the song or monologue!! i remember seeing it at some point but the website link doesn't seem to be working for me either so if anyone who's got an audition there coming up or has done one could DM theirs i would be very grateful!

Congratulations to everyone who has been awarded a place already or made it to finals!

 

I'm happy to hear LSC mentioned again as it used to be one of THE schools to go to  but I haven't heard much about it in recent years, especially for ballet, although I know they've always had an amazing graduate success rate for musical theatre.

 

I'm not sure how many overseas students train there these days, they used to do quite an extensive overseas audition tour I think. If that hasn't changed it could account for the number of 16 and 17 year olds there.
