Royal Ballet School matinee, 16th July 2022
amos73 replied to Bruce Wall's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Also bear in mind that the school AD chooses the casting for school performances and the company AD Selects for a spot in the company, so may have different tastes or opinions. Plus companies may choose a certain type of dancer to fit the company. There are many reasons not least the choice of the student as other people have said, who may prefer a definite place as an artist of another company where they may get more opportunities sooner at another company than royal. I think I recall Tamara Rojo saying after graduating she deliberately chose a spot in a smaller company first as she thought she was more likely to get a chance to dance soloist roles and get promotion sooner. -

Chaeyeon Kang has just completed second year at the school so won’t graduate till next year. We saw her dance at opera Holland Park and she definitely caught our eyes -
There are quite a few prix de Lausanne finalists competitors and prize winners currently at rbs upper school.

If the dream is to dance in top professional ballet companies around the world then it has to be rbs. Look at their graduate destinations year on year. Academically the upper school students undertake a BA hons degree in classical ballet context and also do another study stream alongside which can be an a level or epq. It’s extremely competitive to get into with the international prize winners and top students from around the world as well as white lodge students taking most of the places. Good luck!

Samira Saidi retires from RBS and Emma Northmore appointed to her position
amos73 replied to mart's topic in Doing Dance
No Samira Saidi has left now I believe. The school posted about it on their website last month I think -
Yep, my DD left vocational school and trained non vocationally at Masters of Ballet Academy for 18 months, she got multiple offers for top upper schools here and abroad and started her upper school training last month. DM me if you want more information.

Massive Congratulations to those with yeses and waitlists, and please please please if your DC has got a no, this doesn't have to be the end of their dreams. DD didn't ever make WL finals. She got an MA place for y9 and trains with an excellent after school pre-professional school (not a full time vocational school). She is in y11 now and has got finals for RBS upper as well as other top schools in Europe. She has worked very hard, never taken anything for granted and never given up. A no for year 7 is most definitely not the end.

White Lodge Audition - attendance in person (or not able) 2021
amos73 replied to BalletPapa's topic in Doing Dance
I Believe the plan for international candidates who can’t attend is there will be a review of videos and then another selection and those selected will do a zoom audition after Easter - this is for upper school. -
Yes emails came out on monday for UK applicants and some international applicants have had their results also, as they have posted on this topic.
-
Hi Vivian grace is that enbs or royal? enbs email says there is a zoom option but royal haven’t said that. The email just said live audition on 27 March and if you can’t attend they wouldn’t discount you. Is that what your email said?
