Royal Ballet School - spring intensive and summer school 2019
Newbiemum replied to Mouseys mum's topic in Doing Dance
My Dd got wait listed and a place came up very late in the day. She is now there full time . It can happen but probably best to make other plans too.- 119 replies

I would try and find out what. the current year 9/10 girls wear in class and go for the same . Good luck 😊

Thank you I will

Thank you for your help it is kind of you to take the time although I think the advice I’m looking for would need to come from either a ballet teacher or someone with a child at a top vocational school as the reporting system is very specific .

I didn’t realise sparkle was connected to aesthetics would that not come under the Artistry category!

Sorry I’m not sure what this means ?

Thank you for your advice I will tell her these Marks can change . She was worried that if it was just body she couldn’t really change that .

Could anyone please shed any light on ballet school reports ? My DD seems very unhappy with her first report . She has scored a 4 “ less than satisfactory “ for her aesthetics. Is this something that she can improve / change ? Her other marks were a satisfactory 5 apart from a 6 for artistry . She says all friends all scored much higher and is getting worried about her impending assessment. Any advice would be appreciated .

Lovely couple of days DD really enjoyed it . We have both come away with the realisation that a place would be a very unlikely eventuality . She said there were some very talented girls there far more advanced than herself with "beautiful ballet bodies" I have to admit I felt that looking around . Just feel very honoured to have come this far was such an interesting experience . The dormitory tour was just lovely brought a tear to my eye to see all these little beds lined up with personal photos and teddys , such brave children to leave home to Pursue their dreams . The children we spoke to this morning were an absolute credit to the school , friendly , articulate and most of all so clearly very happy . Good luck to everyone now waiting and well done all round.

You can apply to the SS if you are not a JA balletmomma and I believe there are occasional offers of a WL place made at the summer school .

I'm sure if they're already junior associates that they would be informed if this is something the schools feels is right for that particular individual child . I very much doubt the child in question has peaked I'd like to think she is just ready for the next step just that little bit earlier . I really wouldn't worry about it your DD not going a year early , I personally think it would be quite tough on both the child and parents to leave home at such a young age , your DD's time to audition will come soon around soon enough . Good luck .

It's most definately not fake news , the little girl in question is very advanced and was moved up a year in her Ja class and has therefore been allowed to audition with her ja class a year earlier than usual .

So really you come out of the audition none the Wiser , is there then some pecking order if they do get a place with the ones not in the call back knowing they were not up there with the children that got a place with no call back ? It all seems so cut throat for children so young .

Sixty seems a lot to take through , so around a one in four chance of gaining a place . Won't hold out too much hope .

Thank you daughtersdance and congratulations for getting that reserve place I really hope a space came up for your DD, have to say I hadn't even considered that possibility , I was thinking we would be out out of our misery either way in about a month .Despite getting a reserve place being a wonderful achievement it must have been stressful in itself .

If a child is not in the call back , are they less likely to be offered a place ?
