First ever auditions... what a learning curve!! Congratulations to dd for getting reserve list for Northern Ballet 👍 It is such a stressful time and now it's just another waiting game x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperCooper Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 SWL for my DD at Manchester. Fingers crossed a place comes up, but she has also gained a 2nd year at Northern Ballet so all is not lost.

X It's definitely a possibility, so don't give up hope yet. There are generally a few students who turn down MA places because they have accepted full time places at other vocational schools. Good luck! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) My DD wasn’t allowed to do MA’s when she was at Hammond. I think it is very short sighted of them.

We're a good 2-3 hours away from Hammond, so will need to drive there to pick DD up, drive her to Birmingham, to then drive back to drop her off, and then the journey home! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Yuck! That’s not a great idea. Personally (and with years of hindsight) I’d invest my time and money on a private lesson nearer home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margarite Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 London MA results are out - just got our expected 'No". I think the RBS admin staff must roll their eyes when DD's name comes up AGAIN! Fingers crossed for those waiting xx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadowblythe Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I personally wouldn't do it just for the CV - when all is said and done, 16+ places are decided by how you perform on the day. And is anyone really going to get an audition at the end of the training because they've been an SA? As others have said, the petrol money is probably better invested in other activities. I would also caution against overloading in the first year of starting at vocational school - I don't think either of my children would have thanked me for 6 hours in the car and also loosing the social time during their first year at their respective schools. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. When I mentioned CV, I meant adding she was successful in gaining a place, but stating she was unable to take it due to moving to full time vocational school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not even sure Hammond would allow it. After a morning of classes, to then travel to Birmingham and back. As much as I'd LOVE to see her every weekend, I feel she needs the time to settle into life away from home, and that includes forming friendships and enjoying the down time on a Saturday afternoon. She'll be starting GCSE work too, so there's making sure she has the time for that, and we need to realistically understand how much driving that would mean for us - even putting the petrol cost aside, we'd be constantly exhausted. I haven't ruled it out just yet, but I think ultimately we will end up having to turn the place down and allow somebody else to have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame to have the opportunity and not to be able to take it up, but honestly, it sounds like an endurance feat that would drive you all into the ground! The GCSE workload alone would put me off committing to something so onerous. My DD did the old style GCSE syllabi but my non dancing son is now in year 10 doing the new ones and there seems to be a huge difference. He has a great deal more work than his sister had at the same stage - between that and the move to vocational school I think your DD will probably have enough on her plate to be frank. Bask in the happy glow of success for a while, but let your head make this decision! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SissonneDoublee Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 DD has a yes for a Year 7 Mid place in London. She is very excited! Does anyone know roughly how many there are in the class, and whether it is morning or afternoon, please? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetdancer Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Having read our polite "no" email properly now it says that no feedback will be available. I was under the impression that your dance teacher could contact RBS for feedback. Does anybody know if this has changed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
