    Hi, Just reading your post and seeing that your address is in India.

     

    Like so many other overseas students unless you hold UK residential status than the bursaries and DaDa's quoted won't be for you. Any funding/bursaries etc would have to come from your own Educational funding system available for you in your country of residence. Just like you would if you were attending a UK university. 

     

    Sorry if that is not quite what you want to hear but it may actually open up your options for funding.  

     

     

    Hi balletbean,

     

    If there was funding for ballet in my own country I would've leapt at the opportunity the moment I received an offer letter.

     

    However I have managed to receive a partial scholarship from the college and am hoping for more funding from 2 more potential sources for the next 3 years, but thank you for your insight!

    You can often pick up from the forum when people have received results from somewhere. Hammond DaDa funding results from Wednesdsy's final were out yesterday. 

     

    Thanks Karen, will do!

  3. Thank you mnemo. I suspect this might be part of the delay in colleges getting back... guess I will just give them a call in the second week of may if I hear nothing. I've applied for both hnd and degree courses.

     

    Hi Lisa, I'm a quiet reader here at the forums and love your posts about your time at Northern and urdang and dancer life in general :)

  4. Hi everybody,

     

    This has been my first time auditioning to vocational dance schools in the UK. From everyone's vast experience here with dd's and ds's, I would like to when or how long do schools take to reply to queries or decisions about help with funding?

     

    I understand that they are closed during the months of July and August... during what time period are bursaries/awards/scholarships given out in the months leading up to the course? 

     

    The wait is seriously killing me. 

     

    Thank you!

  5. Well, the next couple of Sundays, anyway ...

     

    Today, off to a 4 hour workshop at my local studio in contemporary - with James Wilton Dance, who are currently on tour. And, so the studio owner tells me, we are being taught by James Wilton himself! The company is performing here tomorrow night.

    Sadly, the idea of dance workshops is still new here in the deep West Country, and so I think there are only 3 or 4 of us attending. Probably not what Mr Wilton expects! I'm a bit nervous about that, but I'm looking forward to learning something about how such an acrobatic style is built up from the basics. 

     

    And then next Sunday I'm really looking forward to the ENB workshop based on the current ENB repertoire of Forsythe, Bausch & Van Maanen. I've seen live performances by all the original companies (and taught about Bausch  as part of a large survey course of 20th century avant garde), and am again looking forward to learning about the fundamentals of how their choreographies are built.

     

    I think there are some posters from here going to next week's ENB workshop? We should say "Hello" with a secret handshake <grin>. 

    How lucky are you Kate

    EnB workshop sounds smashing!
