Yorkshire Ballet Seminars. They’re not taking applications this year because everyone has had their places rolled over from last summer, but in ‘normal’ years it’s one to definitely consider. 

Thank you @Farawaydancer

Hi @BattementBatty,

I was just about to ask the same question! Sorry I don’t have the answers, but following with interest... 

Thank you @danceparentfor the ideas and please can you tell me what YBS stands for? Many thanks! 

Hello, does anyone know what other Summer courses there are out there for young ballet dancers? 

Congratulations to the Yeses and Wait Lists and commiserations to the Not Yets. I think they are all amazing. It’s a Yes for my DS for Summer Intensive! He is so happy and excited! And his brother got Waiting List. Really proud of them both. 

Good luck to all the dancers auditioning for Finals today! ❤️

Hello. Just wondered whether anyone on the SWL had been contacted to offer a place? 

Not yet, but we are still hoping! DS would love to do this and was pleased to get Short Waiting List! I feel bad as I suddenly realised it was the deadline, and had to take the photos really fast on my phone. So I probably didn’t take the best pics I could have done! 

Congratulations to the yeses and SWL and sorry to the not yets. I ended up having to submit photos I took myself in a real hurry (without help of dance teacher!) so we were pleased to be offered SWL and hope a place might become available 🙏🙏

To all the SWLs/not yets

 

I can still feel, reading this thread, the mixed emotions of a SWL offer for a year 4 place for DS.  Especially when the only other boy in his school got a place.

 

My tiny August born son is now rehearsing Rothbart and the Rat King - he may not get to dance Rothbart as he is only(!) 6 foot tall, about the same height as the ballerina dancing Odette. But my point is, you are at the beginning of a long and exciting journey.   At times you may  not  be  tall enough, or too tall, or too flexible (he was!) or not flexible enough (he is now!).

 

Ballet is a harsh task master.  Be kind to yourself and your children.  Cherish good health and good memories made along the way.

 

Thank you for your lovely and inspiring message! And many congratulations to your son! You must be so proud of him! ❤️

Now that all the results are out, I would just like to congratulate everyone who got a yes. Fingers crossed something materialises for those on the SWL and hopefully see all the ‘no’s’ on here again next year 😂

Enjoy your classes those who start in January. It really is a very special place and you are very lucky to have been accepted into the program 😍🩰

Thank you so much for your lovely message! 😍🩰🙏 xx

Well Done @In at the deep end! 👏👏👏

Sorry for the not yets and congratulations to the yeses! xx

Congratulations @BellaF!! So pleased for you! 👏👏👏

It’s a no for dd but they’ve asked her to audition again next year, I knew she wouldn’t get in, so tough for the August babies. 
Best of luck everyone x

Sorry to hear that but very well done and that’s great that they have asked her to audition again next year xx

I'm not involved in any planning so the following is what I know but may not be the whole story.. Currently lessons are Saturday morning but some parents have been asked whether they would mind changing their times to the afternoon. I think this is so that there can be an additional class to enable social distancing when new pupils join but this is just my thoughts. I was not approached for this and so assume my DS morning lesson continues as is 😀

Brilliant, thank you @balletboy8 😊
