Hi Can I ask how long after the initial no and being out on swl was it until you got offered a place? 

Hi she got her initial no around April time then was offered her place in the September. 👍

Sadly, the ballet profession is pretty toxic in some areas and the more I hear, the less I am surprised.

Couldn’t agree more, I feel exactly the same and questioning if this is the industry I really want my DD to be entering. The more I witness like you the less and less I’m impressed.

DD has just applied for year 6 JA place after a no for Year5 and a wait list for WL SI. Anticipating a no, but having seen so much improvement in her over the past year, I'm just after advice about RBS MA's for Year 7. I realise the number of centres reduces but does this mean it's harder to gain a place or is there a natural attention rate with children not pursuing dance as keenly? Do most MA places go to RBS JA's? Does anybody have a child who joined MAs without being a JA who has a view on this? TIA x

Hi yes my DD did she wasn’t a JA but offered a MA place from waiting list. Don’t loose faith xx🤞 good luck to your dd

Hi! I know I’m a bit older but does anyone know what standard someone applying for yr 11 entry would have to be? Or if there might be any places? Are places for yr 11 associates ever given?  I’m not sure if I should apply or not as I don’t want to use up money for petrol or the application fee. Good luck to anyone applying! Xx

Hi my dd went when she was in Year 11 and really enjoyed the class. 😊

Was that this year??? Well Done to your DD x

Thank you 😊 No it was a couple of years ago. She had got no for Yr 7, waiting list for Y8 and got offered a place. She really enjoyed it and the challenge and went on to do SA. Good luck to your dc will keep 🤞

Has anyone gained a place off the waiting list? 

Hi yes my dd did for mids and she wasn’t a JA either so you never know. Fingers crossed 🤞 😊

Hello AIW and welcome to the Forum!  

Hello and thank you 😊 

@Streetdancer when my dd got her no like your email said  so no feedback and we took it as read, however when I next saw dd dance teacher she had contacted RBS herself  and was given good constructive feedback. That was 4 years ago not sure if policy has changed. I’m sure there is people on here with more updated advice. Good luck 😊

Morning I’ve only been on this forum for a couple of weeks and have as they say been “lurking in the shadows” whilst doing my spot of lurking  I have found it be really useful and have gained lots of valuable information from various topic posts so thanks to you all and would like like wish all your dc the very best of luck for their futures and a huge well done to all the parents who are supporting their dc like me who has a dd and recently done “the rounds” with auditions, it’s quite an emotional rollercoaster and even though she has been dancing since the age of 3 I find there is always something I have to learn or get my head around in the world of dance. Very best wishes
