Ballet Power

Great, I hope you were pleased with  the result! Well done 

If your teacher entered you I would have thought they’d have the result by now. It can take up to 6 weeks but rarely does these days. 

I would speak to your teacher.  The ISTD have a few ways you can run an intermediate tap exam so it may be that it ran a different way to what your daughter expected but a way that is ok. 
however any negative comments are not ok and I would definitely ask your teacher to look into it.

feel free to dm if I can help further 

The ISTD results will be sent to your teacher when they have been processed there’s no time guidance (except no longer than 6 weeks) Sometimes they take 2 days other times 4 weeks. 
my students took ballet exams on 10/12 and we had the results before Xmas but they did modern/tap on 11/12 and we got the results just 2 days ago.  

Alternative to lower schools - the academy of balletic arts in London have a vocational programme which runs afternoon/evenings after school. 
theres also CAT schemes although not many for ballet

A mix of private coaching and associates is a good option too 

Have you tried the Leo lounge? Can be found on Instagram 

I agree the Performance Platform is great.

I think there’s a Scottish Grand Prix too

You can also qualify for the All England finals through local festivals  

Do you mean local festivals or National competitions? 

Imperfect Pointes last well and they recycle your old ones too 

well worth the money

Do you know where they are moving Dundee to? 

I think it’s Edinburgh, but I can’t find the email now. 

They wrote to the Associates and said it was due to falling numbers in these areas.  They are moving Dundee too  

Try Phil Birch at the dance clinic. He’s Brilliant! 

What parts did everyone get? 
My dd is a fairy/nymph. 

My dd told me at the call back they said it would take a couple of weeks.

I don’t know anyone that’s heard yet. 

I suggest booking some summer schools with teachers that can help. Like ballet boost.

I booked my daughter an assessment with a fab teacher (nicholson ballet in Birmingham) and she gave feedback of what she needs to work on 

I believe London's MA 2 assessment was delayed (not sure if they’ve had it now) London MA 1 and Birmingham MA 1 & 2 had theres March 18th, but we haven’t heard yet. 
MA 2 in Birmingham has 12 year 9s & only 3 year 8s so there will be some places there.
last year we heard on April 14th (my dd was offered a year 8 place in Birmingham). 
I know 1 or 2 were assessed out last year in London 
let’s hope we all hear soon! 🤞 for good news. 

Just wondering if anyone has a yes or no from Tring funding audition. (Are there no’s or is everyone waiting list?) We have waiting list so trying to see what the chances of being some movement. Happy for you to message if you prefer.  Thanks

Are the results out ?

Yes they are out years 7-9 

Does everyone that attends the funding audition but doesn’t get an MDS go onto the waitlist?

Hi! Our daughter was offered a place after her audition in January but unfortunately didn't get funding. However we just received an email asking for financial information for funding.  Does this mean she got funding or is on a waiting list? Very confused!

Last year my dd didn’t receive an mds but the school asked us for financial info to apply for a bursary, I guess that’s what this is too. (My dd was offered an mds at a later date) 

My dd was offered a bursary last year. They offered 10% off fees and I said we couldn’t afford it and they came back & offered 15%  I spoke to another parent who was offered 20% 

we still declined it and were offered an mds in July from the waiting list.
