    We sent ours the week before christmas by email and asked whether they had received it and got a reply saying they had had my application and managed to access the link. I would contact them tomorrow just incase!

    I've noticed that one of her photos she is barefoot...there are bound to be little mistakes here and I doubt they will penalise parents for that. Good luck everyone...x

    Tring screening

    Raquelle replied to Ljmk's topic in Doing Dance

    Hi number 11 the closing date for young dancers was jan 4th (we are applying for year 7 place) I think but it may be different for older years? Should be on their website? I emailed them over Christmas and they replied saying they will pick up emails tomorrow x good luck with your application x

    Oh gosh I hadn't considered that either! To be honest its not just about having smaller numbers in the audition, its also the issue of whether people can travel to get there? We are tier 4 and may still not be able to travel then....regardless of how small the auditions are?! Its a bit of a logistical nightmare! X

    Aw its mad isn't it! They could have at least tried to write it in plain English for us non dancers! There has been lots of googling here...we ended up doing froggy lying down on back! X

    Ooh I just emailed my link to the registrar were you supposed to upload it somewhere?! I'm losing the plot with all this! 🤣

    Hello! They just say film barre from the side to check alignment and don't mention filming from both sides so I wasn't going to...I think Tring were the only ones that said about both sides as far as I'm aware....we are going to attempt the singing today! My dd is a lovely dancer but can't sing at all...should be interesting! X

    Good luck everyone! Does anyone know if they've had any views?! I haven't for rbs or tring but I am sure elmhurst has (although they may have just been checking the link)....problem is I can't remember how many times I've viewed it 🤣

    Its so hard isn't it! I did rbs and elmhurst just before christmas and tring yesterday. Leaving hammond as have a bit longer. It has been stressful! I did a spreadsheet and worked out what was needed for each dance. Luckily there is some crossover between the schools. Also filmed barre from both directions (front and side) as hammond and tring require some from the side. Tring also ask for both sides for barre. Did some with dance teacher some at home. Certainly not perfect but we tried our best as we are not from a dance background! Good luck with getting the vids finished x

    We sent our elmhurst link as a vimeo link. Just put it in an email and asked elmhurst to confirm they had received it and could open the link. They have confirmed so think its all sorted. X

    Hooray, one down, four to go! Emailed off my elmhurst audition today. Such a relief to have one out of the way!

    Well done everyone! I've filmed everything I need i think!! Did some in the dance hall...without heating. Poor DD looked like a corpse with blue lips! The rest at home. Certainly not perfect but we tried our best. Now need to put the videos together! Hope everyone else is managing ok! X

    Tring screening

    Raquelle replied to Ljmk's topic in Doing Dance

    Hi Ponklemum. I am Welsh too! Bit of a nightmare isn't it. I am recording some today at her studio but it closes tomorrow so will do the rest at home. I'm sure they will understand and will be looking more at technique etc. I know the royal video they originally said not to worry about gallops if you don't have space. It has been so difficult hasn't it hardly being able to do any training in lockdowns I hope they take this into account when they make their decisions! X

    There are loads of excellent associate schemes around the country, RBS is one, however like you say it is highly competitive and they only take around 10% of those who apply. Elmhurst young dancers and ballet boost are also supposed to be good. However if its performance practice you want, I'm not sure associates do a great deal of performing. Maybe worth seeing if another school is more suitable? X

    We are so far behind and haven't filmed a thing!! Have booked DD dance teacher in Monday for 2 hours but really not sure it will be long enough. Going to try to do royal and elmhurst will do the others when we can! For tring my DD has started to choreograph a lyrical piece of her own so I'm hoping her dance teacher will think it is OK! I'm really nervous about the videos but I think she is only 10 and like everyone she has her strengths and weaknesses so just have to do her best and if its not good enough, it wasn't meant to be. X

    I wouldn't worry too much if you've been given a date for the audition previously..I think they gave everyone an audition who applied. I wonder if the email was hastily set up as there is no date on there for submission so wouldn't read into it too much x

    Mine came at 5.40....videos are slightly different variations to the others; but some differences e.g. shot from the side, Flexibility vids all shot at once...allegro etc which I don't think are in the others...some jazz....x
  21. Raquelle
    Aw I know my DD is gutted as we had just booked a hotel and planned a little trip there. What is frustrating is that all the schools have asked for slightly different variations of the dances...!

    Its definitely something they look for as there are splits 3 ways in rbs video audition and box splits is in tring audition, however, as to whether it is a deal breaker I am not sure! As one of the other posters said, they look for a lot of things. 3 years ago my daughter could not do any splits. She worked hard on stretching and managed to get front splits one way (year4). She didn't get in to associates that year and not sure if flexibility was a factor. This year (year 6) we decided to try for associates again and we decided to really work on her flexibility. She did some stretches each day (or most days!) (only 10-15 minutes), she eventually got splits 3 ways! One side is still difficult and she needs to stretch before she can achieve them. we didn't see results straight away and she thought she would never get them! Good luck with your applications for LS x

    Also feeling stressed but giving it another few weeks before I think about it and hoping by then her pirouettes will have improved! X

    Aw I think the data here is probably skewed and a lot of nos perhaps not saying on here....Looking at past years most people got a no xxx
