They have sent yes's too.  Ours was a no x

 Sorry to hear that and to everyone else that’s heard today too. Where are the yeses from? 

Anyone heard of news from Manchester auditions? 

Sorry to hear this allnewtome, what year was this for? 

Can you please confirm which people you have teaching during week 1? Thanks 

Scholarships results are coming out now, good luck to you all.

Not sure I even had an email after scholarship auditions? Good luck everyone! 

Does anyone know if scholarship results are being emailed Tom? 

Wonder if we still hear 1 feb? Anyone know? 

Good luck, the waiting is so hard! 

Twoleftfeet, I feel your concerns - my dd is also

small at 5ft 2 in year 11, and in the middle of auditions. Have you tried any uk schools and which European ones said she was too small? 

I’m not sure why the wait is so long as the auditions were quite a while back, would they not just decide whilst at the auditions? 

Guess that’s not a lot in comparison to finals at other schools!

How many normally go to finals at rcs? I’d be interested to know how the ballet compares to that of the northern ballet course? Thanks 

Hmm as I thought may be case making it too late catch train for finals next day! Some of these finals seem so close together this year. 

Thanks blueLou. Can you recall what time it was all done by in the last day? Dc has finals other side of country next day  which may not make in time if finishes late and need to see if worth applying for first before parting with the hefty £85 to apply . 

Anyone do rcs finals last year? Is it over 2 days and you need to be there for both days? 

Thanks

Hi, sorry if this is in wrong place. Just thought I'd update on auditions so far.

 

So, first was my audition for KS dance. They were very kind, and the classes (ballet, pointe, contemporary, physio and interview) were amazing, but did not hide anything from you. I have been offered a final audition in May. They don't think that I am tall enough yet but as I am forecast to grow (delayed bone age), they said they would like to give me as big a chance as possible, because they liked my dancing. 

 

Elmhurst was a very expected no, and I've just got the result back from Central with another no. And I know I'm a very lucky and usually very happy girl, but I just feel very down-trodden. Am I just not good enough? Am I just not tall enough? It's so so hard, I am trying to use the rejections to spur me on to be a better dancer (I'm seeing a fantastic dance/strength coach who has devised a brilliant programme to help with my weaknesses) but I don't know, Just looking for some advice and happy ending anecdotes haha. 

3 more (+KS final) auditions left to go! 

 

I hope other auditionees are doing well and merry Christmas everyone x

 

Stay strong and positive Arucariaballerina! It’s such a journey and especially hard whilst studying for GCSEs too. Well done for finals for KS dance, have they told you how tall they would like you to be? It’s good they understand you may not be at your finished height yet, Sometimes things are just out of out hands and we cannot control our body shape or height, hard to accept especially when you are a beautiful dancer too.

Wishing you all the luck with the rest of your auditions!

From memory, there were 3 groups of girls at finals last year- approx 15-20 in each group

Thank you! 

Thank you billyelliott, that is helpful. Wondering how many girls were actually at finals for those 16 places then! 

Can anyone recall how many went to finals last year for upper and know how many they actually offered places to? 

We waited exactly a week from the audition so not too painful! 

Congratulations GAB dancer, what year is your dd auditioning for?
