sunrise81 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 I've only done the scholarship form as she's only going this time if she gets one. I haven't done the other and haven't been asked for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrancingMum Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Here is what it says on their scholarship web page: https://www.ybss.co.uk/london-scholarship-applications Students wishing to be considered for a place on the summer school notwithstanding the outcome of the scholarship audition must also complete a summer school application form before attending the audition. Looks like you need to complete both forms. Edited February 23, 2018 by Newdancermum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amos73 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 They said to me if you want to apply regardless of whether they get scholarship do both, if only interested in scholarship place then just that application 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this year's new on-line system makes everything easier. I assume that if you didn't get a scholarship and then decide you still want to go you can submit the application form and photos?

I wasn't sure about that. The woman from the office just said to me if you want to be considered for both send in both before the 11th March audition. Which I took to mean you needed to do that before if so. I would email her direct or call, she seems very helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise81 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) I have just been reading the admissions standards and it's says at least grade 4 for students 9-12years. Mmmmm no point in my grade 3 9 year old trying then Ooopsy she will be sad, but that's what happens when she's only been dancing two years!

sunrise81 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Forgot to add she is grade 3 ISTD as I know there are more grades with RAD.....if that makes any difference?! So lost in this world of ballet!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy twinkle toes Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hi Sunrise, Yes that would be comparable. ISTD have 6 grades compared to 8 in RAD. Contact the school and see if they are happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the grades are usually just a guideline as a lot of applicants (especially those aged 11+) don't do grades as part of their training. It may be that your daughter is grade 4 standard even if she is not in grade 4 classes yet. To be honest, competition is fierce for ybss, so chances are not great for most of us, but it's always worth a try! You just have to make sure your dd understands that it's a long shot! 🍀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise81 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Thanks everyone!

Scholarship auditions for London are this Sunday (11th) and Leeds 18th March so forms would have to be in quickly for those. The summer school application deadline is 6th April according to the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they sent out the no’s a few days after the audition but waited to send out the yes e mail until they had seen the ones who auditioned at York also. I think it may be different this year as I don’t know anyone that’s heard at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leapinglizards Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Does anyone know how many scholarships there are and are they spilt between London and Leeds audition ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi'smom Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 There are a list of the available scholarships on the YBSS page and annually a list of scholarship winners are printed in the Dancing Times. Most definitely yes the awards are split between the two audition venues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Well, we were on track - miraculously - to get to the Leeds audition.....only for the weather to have it cancelled!! Super disappointed DD....super frustrated mum....time/cost involved was always a big issue....& now the worry that it will require this all over again to ensure kids get their chance. Just hope there will be plenty of notice of the date & that it works out for everyone who was going as with Easter break soon upon us with holidays & many no doubt booked on dance courses also, could be tricky! Guess it's just one of those c'est la vie moments....& at least it did mean we got to have a nice night away & luckily for cheap accommodation, had stayed far enough away from the Leeds area to not get into snow troubles with our journey! I do hope all stayed safe on the roads & that we all make it second time around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Oh that’s bad news Peanut. The weather in Leeds was atrocious over the weekend. We ended up having to book into a hotel. Let’s hope the next audition suits everyone affected by this cancellation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thank you for your message Jan & commiserations you ended up with an unplanned for expenditure to stay over...hope you had a nice hotel stay anyhow! Just hope we get date through with plenty of notice to make the planning as stress-free as possible....I dare say it's not going to be easy for YBSS to re-schedule either with booking studios, pianists, travel/accommodation etc for panel & indeed their availability too so let's hope it's not too much of a headache for their admin & everyone all round!

MAK Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 @Peanut68 I have just seen on FB that the new Leeds scholarship audition date is 15th April. I guess they will send emails to affected parties too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise81 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yes we have just got an email with the new date, asking us to confirm attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 checking email now....do hope the date suits most people as hopefully being right at end of hols people will be back if they've been away....it's going to mean a bit of juggling of timings & working out sibling/dog etc but should just about manage to get DD there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nala Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Hi I was wondering when YBSS might start letting us know if they have a place. My son has applied for Week 2 and we have our fingers crossed. Edited March 22, 2018 by Nala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButterflyBallerina Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) The date given on the website for results is 18th April not sure if will be pit back with the Leeds Audition now being 15th Edited March 22, 2018 by ButterflyBallerina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneypenny Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Dd used to attend the York audition, which always followed the London one and results used to start coming out literally within a couple of days of the York audition. May be different now of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrancingMum Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I've heard that some who went to the recent intensive have already been informed if they have a place. DD was upset that I said she was too young to go and then she found out that dancers her age had been allowed to attend. Does anyone know anything about their day courses and rules for attendance? Do you have to be an exceptional dancer to attend? Doesn't bode well for us getting a place on the summer course!

I think it's probably always worth asking if you have a dd or ds slightly outside the age criteria but dancing at the required level - the worst that can happen is they say no, but you might end up with a positive response. We enquired for dd for the recent Easter Masterclass as for once we had no other dancing commitments that day. She was just under the stated minimum age. We received a very friendly and prompt response and dd was able to attend and very much enjoyed the day (and in fact the minimum age was reduced shortly before the course took place anyway). Good luck for tomorrow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
