cornishprincess Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 5 years ago my DD didn't have a physio at Tring but was offered a place and on the reserve list for funding. It didn't happen for her at that time. It was the best thing for NOt to go at 11. I am a great believer in things happening for a purpose. (I just need to hold on to that while we are going through this now!!!!!!!!!!!) you may need to remind that I said that, everyone! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth4ballet Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi In my dd group, 5 girls (including my dd) were called for Physio. However, I'm sure that dada places are given from the waiting list, without physio, once all school places are offered and accepted. Good Luck everyone!

nlc Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Check your emails ladies as Tring are emailing people that weren't succesfull for the DADA, and placing you on the reserve list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth4ballet Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hi all, Thanks for that! They are also e-mailing the Dada place offers as my dd has one! Amazing...as she is non-vocational. Good luck! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressedmum Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hi, my dd got the reserve for dada, had loads of tears she is so upset. They have still invited her to Tring taster day next week for successful dada auditionees and it says those high on reserve list.?? Does anyone have any insight into this? I wonder is she high on list and still in with a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth4ballet Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Sorry that she is so upset. It sounds like she is still in with a good chance of being offered a Dada place, as the final auditions process has only just started and some may accept offers from other schools. Best of luck!

stressedmum Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Thank you Beth4ballet. It does hurt so much when they are hurting so my fingers well and truely crossed. I was wondering how many others from resrve list have been invited to the taster day. Well done to your dd she must be thrilled and you so proud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its her Life Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hold on in there stressedmum. There will be a lot of movement with places over the coming weeks. Most other schools haven't even had their finals yet, let alone offer out places so some of the students offered Dadas at Tring will get offers elsewhere and then turn their place down at Tring. It is exceptionally early days. Last year people were still accepting/declining places right through til end of April. Take Central for example, their final isn't even til end of March. Last year, there were definitely students who got Dada places at Tring from the reserve list. So keep hanging in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stressedmum Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi mad house. I was just wondering if they asked your friends dd to attend taster day next week? All very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzpaws Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My DD on reserve list so we'll just have to wait and see - last year someone phoned Tring and were told where her daughter was on the waiting list ( but perhaps ignorance is bliss !) DD was told at audition they took 12-14 off waiting list last year, so obviously quite a few that were offered DADA's went elsewhere. Did your DD get a phsio callback stressedmum, was wondering if those that had physio are high on waiting list, only a guess - you could always call them to see where she is . Good luck x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad house Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi stressedmum I will ask her later and get bck to you. I believe her mum has emailed to ask about where on list she is. So really not sure . Will update you when I do. Fingers crossed for you all . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressedmum Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi jazzpaws and mad house. Yes she had the physio asses. Keeping fingers crossed. Good luck to yourdd jazz paws. Is your dd auditioning elsewhere? Our dd only auditioned for tring , central and elmhurst. Got no for elmhurst but have central finals on 30 march.

Jazzpaws Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi stressed mum - Good luck with that ! Yes DD has Central finals, haven't had the date 29/30th yet and Elmhurst finals next week, how strange it all is . I wonder if anyone else who had phsio but not the award is high on the list like your DD. Honestly, sometimes it seems like a whodunnit , following all the clues - we should all chill- I should practice what I preach lol x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanceandDrama123 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hope everyone is well, do continue to post your news! DD I feel is a little deflated after reading all the DADA results as she wasn't successful in her dance but she has her drama final tomorrow so i have told her to be positive. Unfortunately she has been off school all week suffering from a really bad cold/virus and her voice is so bad i'm wondering if it's going to affect her chances when doing her monologues. What does everyone think? Do you think they'll take into consideration that she's not at her best, because she's been so upset that she might blow her chance by being ill so i just want to reassure her without giving her false hope. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Are you able to get a quick doctor's note you could hand in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceandDrama123 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 We live 4 hours away from Tring so are leaving early tomorrow morning, our doctors surgery closes in an hour so I wouldn't be able to make it and they are very peculiar about giving notes if it's only a days notice. It really is a croaky voice that would be holding her back so I'm not sure the doctors would even give me one, but wpuld they take it into consideration without one?

Legseleven Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 From experience in auditioning for theatre and in sitting on selection panels, although never for vocational schools I'm afraid, I would say that it need not affect audition results as it is obvious to everyone when a candidate is suffering from a cold/virus which of course affects their voice. I recommend Fisherman's Friends lozenges - many of them! (many people think they're foul but they really do seem to work in easing the voice as well as 'clearing the tubes'), Vocalzone pastilles (although I don't find them as helpful as Fisherman's Friends) and Sanderson's throat-specific syrup (which truly is hellish but again seems to work). You should be able to get all of those from any chemist. Plus lots of honey and lemon in hot water. And lots of water to sip during the audition, of course. Best of luck to your DD! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzpaws Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Have just received a letter from Tring, backing up the email, saying how well DD did and she is on reserve list for DADA award BUT if I could pay the fees then all I need to do is ring up and she has a place - as if ! Maybe I'll buy a lottery ticket, a black cat crossed my path half hour ago 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Don't lose hope Jazzpaws (someone has to win the lottery, and you could always have a bet on the horses!!!), Tring is early to finish the process and offer places, so there's bound to be movement on the waiting list 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
