Thanks DDPA glad we aren't the only ones not heard yet, I guess details will come mon/Tue or I will be ringing. Good luck to your Dd, my Dd attended a dance day last year and really enjoyed it.
-
Dd has confirmed audition for Central at Leeds on Sunday 17th Feb but we've not had details such as timings yet has anyone else auditioning next weekend heard anything?
-
My Dd is away at vocational school in yr11 so obviously thinking about auditioning for upper schools. Her school has arranged a time slot to take their audition photographs for the applications next weekend but the problem we have is a couple of schools don't open their applications until October so we can't see which positions are needed for the application form, does anybody know the positions are required for applying to Central and Rambert please.
-
Dd is at Hammond lower school and knows the situation for their US. We were just wondering about how strict other schools were for their dance courses, she wears make up for shows happily but doesn't see the point for everyday training. ☺️
-
Thanks for the replies so far, it would be the Dance course that DD would be applying for not MT .
-
Dd has said some upper schools ask students to wear make up for all classes not just for shows/auditions etc. Can anyone confirm this and know which schools do or don't ask for make up to be worn please.
-
Anybody studying at RCS or who knows info about the school please could you tell me, how many contact hours?, class sizes? ratio of ballet/contemporary? or any other info you can share about the school please, DD interested in auditioning for Sept 19.
-
Sorry to hijack this thread but which of these schools mentioned take at 16?
-
I too had the emergency phone call last week and thanks to Amazon prime sent sharpies to dd. They did the trick and as you say they all looked black on stage, I also got a text to say the black lipstick was no longer needed! The show was amazing and as always everyone looked fabulous, now time for a well earned rest.
-
Thank you so much, I have found the email and sent the medical form. I don't know what I would do without this forum! x
-
Not got our info pack yet, so we don't know yet either.

To guide or not guide vocational choices ... ?
Boogalou replied to annaliesey's topic in Doing Dance
This course sounds very similar to the course offered by Hammond, am I correct in thinking that? -
lol, I should read properly!🤣
-
Thank you, so as Meadowblythe says its only Central, Rambert and RCS that do a Dance degree for 16 yr olds (Not heard of Dancewise).
-
If 16 yr old DD wants to pursue a Diploma or degree down the Dance route rather than the MT route how important is it that the school offers the chance to continue her RAD exams? I've started researching various schools and some mention RAD exams and others don't but does that mean they don't offer them or just that that info isn't on the website?
-
Thank you Balletbean, so does this mean that where a degree course requires A level or equivalent then its still worth DD applying at 16 with her RAD intermediate and ISTD Modern Intermediate? I was starting to think the degree courses were only for 18 yrs+.
-
How do we find out which schools have agents that come to their graduation shows? Dd is currently at vocational lower school and so we can't attend open days, the only info we have is from websites and their prospectus.
-
How do you know if a agent is a good one or not???
-
OK please excuse my naivety but how does it work if dc are taken on by an agent? Looking at some destinations of upper schools I see some students have been accepted by agents rather than going on to joining a company or cruise company which also makes me wonder what other options are there after upper school?
-
She will be 16, she quite fancies contemporary so rambert or NSCD but I thought keeping her options more open first then concentrating on contemporary might be best?
-
Dd looking at applying for upper schools for Sept 2019 and after looking at websites and reading through this brilliant forum I am still completely confused by the whole process but need to get my head around it all in order to help dd make a decision. We completely agree with those that say go with the "feel" of a school but I am confused about whether she should be looking at the level 6 diploma or the BA hons degree? She would have to have funding as we are an average income household but does funding include the accommodation costs or do we fund that ourselves? How did you all start the process or selecting just a few schools to apply for? Dd is dance orientated not Mt although she doesn't mind doing it all for one year then selecting the dance route. Any advice please.
-
Sorry yes Yr10 ☺️
-
Can any parents of Yr11 children please get in touch regarding tomorrow's careers interviews, I have lost my letter, I can remember our time slot but no other details. Thanks
-
I have to agree with Bluebird, my dd loves Shannon and Peter and they have been so good to her but she has found that she rarely gets taught by them as it is generally a guest teacher teaching and often all ages in together. She won't be accepting her place for next year.
-
This worries me a little, dd currently in Yr10 and starting to think of where to audition for upper schools, She is currently at vocational school and I was kind of relying on the school/teachers in helping her decide what's best for her?
