  1. I absolutely agree with this. The hardest thing for us is that other than minor injuries at the beginning of Dec no one has physically examined DDs toe.
  2. Oh wow. What a lovely idea. My daughter would love that, although she’s y5 she’s in a mixed y5/y6 class so if they did that for other centres (I assume you’re London) she would be in her element. I agree it must be particularly hard in the audition round this year. I’m thinking if you all.
  3. I didn’t know that @Bunnyand I never thought to ask but it does make sense. I enjoy the parents evenings but I would love to read those reports!
  4. We’re not in the round this year, next year for us but good luck to everyone this year. I’ve often wondered, and your post @Bunnyhas lead me to ask, do JA teachers provide feedback to Royal for those that are applying for WL?
  5. How many pay for both applications? We’d love to apply to both to try and widen the possibilities but to pay £72 to look at the same 4 photos twice!!!!!
  6. I just wanted to wish you luck in finding the right treatment for your daughter. My DD is a quite a bit younger than yours but injured her pinky toe at the beginning of December up until last week we’d been told to assume it was broken. Now we’ve had an X-ray we’ve been told it’s a sprain but further diagnostics unlikely. I was told that you couldn’t get any diagnostics privately (also Yorkshire) at the moment. So we feel your pain (or at least DD does), as DD is missing exam work that is progressing ready to get back to the studio, and also auditions for summer schools. We have absolutely no timescale for it healing. It’s really disheartening.
  7. @balletboy8I hope that’s not the case re the 15th. We’re still waiting for an injury to heal to take the photos. So was going to leave it a few weeks!
  8. Thanks @PetitJeté I’ll email to check. I definitely don’t think it would be worth trying with the same pics, looking back at them they really weren’t great 😁. Good luck to your DD.
  9. Does anyone know if you can change the pictures on the application for summer? We are going to apply following a no for spring but the pictures do not show DD in her best light so would like to change them. When I go into the application it would let me delete them and add more but it also says you can’t change the photos once submitted. I don’t know whether to submit a new application with different email address. There would really be no point in using the ones for spring. ALSO, for age 10 can you only request one of the weeks? We could do either and aren’t particularly bothered which dates but it will only let me select one?
  10. Hello, yes I would be interested. Would you mind sending me a pic?
  11. Does anyone have a degas leotard age 10? Preferably not white. Ideally royal blue, red or eglatine but if anyone has other colours I might be interested.
  12. Congratulations to all the swl and yeses. DD looks to be the only no on here just now 😢
  13. @Crazylifecrazykids DD doesn’t know when results are out either. That way only one of us is being driven crazy wondering 😁. Good luck 🤞
  14. That must be so frustrating @Mum of unicorn dancer SWL 5 times! There must be something there, surely it’s got to turn into a yes soon? I told myself I wouldn’t worry about it but I know how much DD wants to go to WL and I just think even if she could live the dream for a week! We’ve got until next year for full time applications so plenty of time to have another go but I still doesn’t stem the hope!
  15. @Whiteduvet I’ve considered the following: *photos *children that don’t require funding so more money for RBS *children that do a reasonable amount of dancing so could cope with the days *those that have indicated they want full time training *I can’t decide whether being a current JA is a positive or not. I’m sure there’s more but I can’t think what they are just now, these are just from the questions on the application. But even after thinking about all of the above I still think it’s a lottery 😁.
  16. Aww @HopelessMummywas your DD/DS supposed to be going to Hong Kong? As much as I was hoping it wouldn’t reduce the slim chance for London spring intensive even further I’m sorry for the kids that got into 2020 and after all this will have to reapply.
  17. I’ve just seen that the Hong Kong spring intensive has been postponed until 2022. Had people been notified about places for the HK one? I’m just wondering if they had and if that means they’ll get the spring places instead so there’s an even smaller chance? As the date for notification gets nearer I’m going through every possible scenario to see whether DD has any chance at all! My gut feeling is that it will be a no but I can’t help but think ‘what if!’
  18. Ooh fingers crossed then. That’s only 16 days 😁. Not that I’m expecting to receive a yes 😂
