    Further to this, do people generally book the ‘full year’ 51 weeks or the academic year options? I can see they are priced differently on Dwell but US don’t seem to be offering that at this point for NewMedlock.

    Oh wow that’s fantastic for your DD at the eleventh hour, how stressful it must have been! Thank you for sharing this I am trying to not think about the waiting for funding, I do really like to be organised so I imagine it’s going to get a bit nerve wracking as time goes on! I have resolved it’s better to have as much information as I can gather now so we can act swiftly if/when the time comes!! 🙂

    I agree we only didn’t hotel it for our ‘local’ one, we made sure we got to the hotels reasonably early and DD was very focused and was asleep for around 9pm which is unheard of usually. I found going down the night before- even though I’d sussed them out on google maps- really did take the stress off as the driver. Most journeys were 3-4 hours so wouldn’t have loved the 4am set off and the risk of traffic issues I think it just put DDs mind at ease (as much as it could) knowing she could take it steady in the morning preparing 🙂

    Holiday Inn Express is super close, we have stayed there before, it was as you’d probably expect standard sort of hotel, they have a lot of issues with their lifts and there are only two. There are about 9 floors so better if you’re quite agile and breakfast is usually included. There is Ibis on princess street I think, it’s a stones throw away. Further up Oxford Road there is a premier Inn although we haven’t used this one. kimpton clocktower is a bit swish if your budget is extensive it’s not far either. There are a few a car parks nearby, if you look on parkopedia, they range quite a bit in price so worth planning a back up car park just in case.

    When DD went to Bird audition they did a brief ballet warm up and said they teach ballet for musical theatre rather than classical ballet. DD wasn’t asked to perform the additional song or monologue but it did take away time from polishing the first choices. The talk at the start was very thorough and the staff seemed really approachable. DD said it was a fun day and she really loved the Modern class.🙂

    Can I ask if anyone knows, if there is still a lean towards newmedlock for first years accommodation? Past posts I’ve seen seem to show a trend for newmedlock and I also spotted last year they seem to book up pretty quickly and with the opening/reopening of the additional accommodations in the area I wondered if there had been any shift as I’d ideally like DD to be with others from NBS. Thank you🙂

    Hello Gowiththeflo, 3 in 8 days well done to you and your DD! Dd is a dancer firstly, she sounds similar to your DD, my DD loves ballet but she’s not a ballerina. DD would ideally like to go to either Performers or NBS. Yes our spreadsheet helped no end, had the hotels and all the post codes for the sat nav and train info etc on, along with what length dance / song monologue for each place and the format it was needed in etc we’d have been lost without it I’m sure. Urdang does seem like a great choice. DD is 15 presently so only applied for Diplomas. Bird and Laine are also excellent options well done to your DD! I guess it doesn’t hurt to do the recall and see how she gets on from there? Hopefully some experienced readers will be able to offer some knowledge 😊

    Hi My daughter missed her grade 2 ballet (RAD) exam due to moving dance school. She has been put into grade 3 and is due to take her grade 3 in March 16. I'm after opinions as to whether I should ask for her to do the grade two as well so she doesn't have a gap. Thanks
