Hi harwel welcome.......good luck to you son starting tring in sept my dd starts 1st form in sept can't wait. I find it will be good for my dd to be with people that have the same passion as she finds it hard that some of her current school mates think it's boring x

My dd currently attends London junior ballet it is a fab place teachers are lovely and honest about child progress my dd learnt lots unfortunately she living coz she going full time to tring but she certainly would have stayed if she could x

Is that for full time school? My dd starts sept and is 90% ballet bit of jazz contemporary and a 1% musical theatre she said when she auditioned her and 2 others did an additional bit one did music her and other musical theatre but rest didn't do anything and most did modern dance. There was only 3 including her did a ballet piece hope your dd gets a place xx

Wondered whether anyone could help. DD is on reserve list for Tring and when she auditioned she didn't take a musical instrument or sing, do you think this would have been marked against her as she really just is a "ballet girl" with a tiny but of modern chucked in!!

Ok I didn't name any one or dance school but that's fine sorry. Xxx. legseleven I agree with your comments basically as that is the case xxx

I have heard this that they hardly wear the blazers some one the second hand uniform shop is great xx

I totally agree with you I will be glad when she leaves at the end of June. There was a totally different response from her dance teachers at London senior ballet they were very happy. Dd cannot wait for September xxx

Amandalou1978 what year is your dd starting at tring? Do you know if they go for the day before they start? I agree with you all can not wait for sept my dd is so lucky to get a place so many have to wait for years xxxx

So glad to hear ladies the dance school my dd goes is so royal ballet that ever since she got into tring their attitude changed towards her we knew that royal was not for her as she was not super flexible and dance school said she would not get in and really we wanted her to have a all round training as ballet can be limited. She cannot wait to get to tring as at the mo she is preparing for her grade 5 exam and it appears that they have not taught her the whole thing yet and there is only 6 weeks left. Xxxx

Thanks for those comments it is nice to hear from someone who knows both. My dd loved tring from the moment she saw it and she did summer school last year which confirmed her choice. We wanted her to be happy with the dance course but also feel happy with the academic side as that just as important xx

Hi all

Not been on here for ages my dd starts tring park in sept year 7 she so excited but at the same time bit sad coz her dance school does not like tring they are very royal ballet and seem to believe that if you paying you get the place anyway can anyone tell me if you think the training on the dance course equally as good? I feel we made the right choice choosing tring. Also do the boys and girls have a transition day like they do in other schools? Xxxx

Tomuchtallent it is an amazing place defo sounds like a fab plan to meet up if you dd gets in fingers crossed for you xx

Toomuchtallent wow we went to Antalya this year going back next year it's a lovely place good luck to your dd with audition. Hfbrew thank you for info very grateful x

Hi straceydor what year was your dd applying for? Are you like us still waiting for the postman??? Good luck to your dd xx

Thanks atacrossroads does your son or daughter go there xx

Hi

Unfortunately she didn't know them it was 2 women and a man she said. She believes it went well but you never know she was lucky to be 2nd on list and right in front during the classes. But only concern is she not naturally flexible so she an inch off doing box splits not for the want of trying.....xxx

Thank you ladies so nice to chat to other people about this stuff xx
