stardancer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi nancy21 If you give the rad a phone call on Monday there maybe some spaces left on the associate, Also give tring a phone call to see if you could still apply for may this year,they are lovely to deal with. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I would definitely give the RAD a ring and see if there are any spaces available - entry is via your teacher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora11 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi Nancy21, did Tring CBA get in touch with you regarding auditions or had you not applied yet? We applied a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything yet. I could not see a closing date on the website. Many thanks, Flora11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletmum20 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Don't worry I don't think anyone has heard yet, x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Nancy21 my DD is doing the Hampshire RAD Associates, not sure how old your DD is but there are definitely spaces in the Advanced classes. Would be worth giving them a ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy19 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi flora11, I just forgot to send off the form, I went on the website yesterday to get address and there was a message saying that applications have now closed for May audition but is now open for November applications. We will have to wait until then! My DD was not very happy with me, but with younger children, a career etc, I just forgot! Thanks Loulabelle, she is 12, year 7 and currently grade 6 and intermediate ballet. How do you go about applying for RAD associates, is there an audition. I know 2dancersmum mentioned that the ballet teacher has to put you forward? Thanks everyone again, everyone is so helpful x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora11 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi balletmum20, thanks that's v reassuring. Dd has never auditioned there before so don't know what to expect. She is v excited though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora11 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Posted at the same time Nancy21! What a shame. Will let you know what audition process is like so your dd knows what to expect in November. Good luck exploring other avenues too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy19 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi Flora11, yes please keep me updated, as Tring is now what she really wants to go for. she has central on 25th may, but it's such a big commitment travelling to London every Saturday, if she were lucky enough to gain a place! Can't wait to hear all about your DD audition. Good luck to her and anyone else who still has auditions looming x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 RAD Associates - I suggest you ring your local organiser first to see if there are still spaces in your DDs group. There is no audition for it - there are 2 forms - one for you to fill in and the teacher has the other as the teacher enters all students from one ballet school together on the one form with the individual applications attached. You need to talk to your ballet teacher also so she knows you are interested. Associates run one Sunday a month for 4 sessions commitment at a time.

Dancermum Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 We were at the Tring CBA auditions in May and for information, there were 4 groups with around 20 - 25+ in each group, my DD was in the last and biggest group of the day (although there were a few no shows, annoying for those who didn't get a space!) - she is 13 but there were girls from around 11 to 16 in the group. The lady told us there were 20-25 spaces going for September spread across the whole age range. I am so thrilled that my DD was offered a place in group 4... happy days!! No idea what age range are in this group so will have to wait until September to find out, but she is very excited. And thank you to Tring for such quick letters, nice not to have to stalk the postman for once!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Well done to your dd, Dancermum! Great news. Re. the no-shows, they may of course have been injured or ill, which is a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
