Would you mind sharing the link please, vmmom? I live in Italy too, and I wanted to order from Amazon Italy but the supplier didn't have plain blue badges.

Here the link. I ordered a light blue because I'm wearing always a black jacket and the dark blue is not so noticeable on dark colors.

I ordered on ebay because I live in Italy. Round and blue

I like very much the idea. It will be nice even during the summer intensive.

Hello vmmom

 

I think we will be seeing you here too

My daughter is doing both royals and Paris opera we must be doing the same weeks

My dd will be in the junior class as she's only 10

That will be nice knowing someone from her first summer school

Take care

Life, this is awesome! My daughter was in the junior class last year.

This year she is doing both week1 and 2, and we will "commute" to London from Paris .

Emails with informations about the trousseau are arrived!  

Angel this is awesome! Two weeks means your DD  is 14 or I'm wrong? 

Hello. I am new here and thankful for a place to ask questions! My daughter is on the wait list for Paris Opera. Has anyone had any luck with being called off the wait list? We are spending the summer in France so my daughter will not be dancing with another program. We are just keeping our fingers crossed. Would anyone that has been accepted mind sharing the list of what they ask the dancers to bring? I would like to pack for our trip & take along everything she needs just in case and not have to do any last minute shopping in France.

 

Thank you!

Hi Janice. The Paris Opèra Ballet School called two girls from my daughter's school from the WL right after the first results popped out. I hope some places can be available if someone declined at the very last minute (yesterday was the payment dead end).

The most unpratical thing to pack in the trousseau are the bed stuff (blanket, sheets and pillow ) who are very bulky, expecially if you travel with only one luggage as we did last year

Balletmummy55, we got the same mail yesterday. 

Life (and Sparle2015), my daughter is 12 and she is in week 2 WL too.

We can have a drink the night before, if you want, 'cause I booked the same hotel for the entire week! We are from Italy.

Irishballetmom, Congratulation to your daughter! I remember you from last summer ! My daughter was also selected for the ABT program in Texas. We declined mainly because the mail arrived the night before the dead end! ...insane...

My daughter was accepted to WL Week 2.  Unfortunately she had to turn it down.  So, there is definitely at least one spot available.  I hope it goes to someone here!

So sorry...  How old is your daughter? I think the wait list is divided by age...

What terrific news. Congratulations. Are all the classes going to be taught in the French language?

Last year my daughter was able to learn some very basic French too . She was in a room with two English-speaking girls so she refreshed her English! The class was directed in both languages (mainly French) but since all the ballet terms are in French she was fine. She was in Junior class.

Dear Miss....we are pleased to inform that you are ammitted for the 2016 Summer School     

Maybe they sent letters in waves...and you're a yes!

Or in Alphabetic order...we are P 

I'm still waiting..I hope I didn't send some wrong document....

vmmom...congratulations to your daughter on attending last year! Last year, did POB also set a date when they would notify applicants of results? And if so, were they pretty firm with that date or was notification given before/after? We have looming deadlines for deposits at other programs, all before the POB stated date of 2/12.

Thanks Spencedance. They set the same date (February 12th) but due to the "tremendous amount" of applications they set a new date (February 17th). I hope this year they will send the results on time, I have a deadline too!  

My daughter applied this year and the last one. Last year she attended the junior course who is the lowest and the only one opened to children aged 11 and under. Fingers crossed...the results will be released February 12th.

I'm breathing again after the news of yesterday. My daughter applied for the second year. Last year we got a PWL and a place on May, when we already had all the Summer Intensives scheduled, so we declined.

Her friend, who had a straight no last year, is in WL (and got the 3 confusing emails too)

Everyone improved.

Don't give up!

We are in!!! WL  week 2!!!! <3 <3 <3 

Last year was 30/01/2015 13.33 

That's not how they do things, there is no audition for the summer school. It is all done from the applications + photos.

 

Perhaps someone attended last year and was invited back again?

I mean she was audictioned by application form...this is impossible, the form is on line since September 18th!

Speaking about SI application form, is it possible to apply for two weeks if you are 12 yo?

Hello everybody, I have a weird question...Do you know since when the 2016 SI Form was active on the RBS web site?

A mother told me she already audictoned in July...

Chocomoto, guess who is in the same room??? ???? we met shorty yesterday at the front desk!! Nice to met you!

Just got an email saying that they are delaying the results until next Tuesday, February 17.

Anyone called from the WL wait list?

Thanks Zacharovitti, I'm used to write POB but I was looking for info on internet using French      !

Please don't tell me they have a dress code!!

I'm already in trouble with the ODP's last mail about "trousseau" (linens, pillow and douvet...we need a truck to transport! ) and pale pink leotards (and my daughter doesn't like that colour.. ...)
