She is scheduled to dance the pas de deux in Golden Hour. I missed seeing her at Holland Park but a friend said to look out for her tomorrow.

We were told that they rank everyone in finals and work their way down the list allocating based on the initial Finance information you submit until they allocate all the funds. The DaDA is great in supporting those on low income but the threshold cut-off at £30k is not as good as MDS. There are a select few who get offered an MDS for 6th Form - we personally only know of make offers.

My daughter has relatively smaller feet for her height and is delighted as when on pointe she’s not too tall. We are what we are and have to make the best of it and work within and to our strengths. Enjoy having an average foot size and being able to get shoes that fit and above all enjoy dancing.

We know a girl who is giving up her place after another offer so looks like some of those waitlisted will get good news.

We know two girls who were in the same year at the same age - both with the same experience - the taller one, who was not the older of the two was in the Main Company and the other in Juniors. It is likely fit with the others in the group. The next round is casting so in some ways harder when it comes to acceptance of the dnd result as everyone through now is good enough for the show and it’s up to the choreographers who fits best.

I am sure the year my DD did it there were around 75 in main company. There were six dances and the girls were cast in two and boys in at least three. I don’t have a feel for how many did first round but I thought it was more than the 200 this year. The finals were in groups based on who the choreographers wished to see. They were there for a few hours before there was a split and a final group asked to stay on. The final choice was made from this last group so staying to the end didn’t guarantee a place. They are good at getting the results out quickly which is good.

Royal Ballet's Swan Lake (Spring 2022)

Definitely - a bit wobbly but who wouldn’t be. She was slipping earlier - so maybe the stage or her shoes. Such a pity at her debut - she is a beautiful dancer.- 1,276 replies

The classes go on age plus ability and may not directly correlate to a particular exam grade so I wouldn't get too focused on which group your DC is in. The training is going to be great regardless. 😊

We have not been in this position but know others who have as places do come up with some deciding to give up Associates and others head off to vocational school. Good luck with the audition. My personal advice would be not to war the JA uniform. The auditions team will know she was a JA and I am sure your DD will have a leotard she will feel more comfortable in, which is of greater importance what wearing the old JA one.
