It was a no from RBS for us! Hoping some people had good news 🙂

So sorry to hear this. Fingers crossed for good news from elsewhere. 
 

I hope your DS is ok.

Does anyone know how many places are available for funding in years 7 and 8, for September 2022 entry? 

I don’t think we can know for certain. I thought they’d said 10 at Prelims but not really sure I heard right and whether that’s for just year 7 or all years. 
 

I know they’ve given about 4 out already though x

DD said there were 11 girls in their year 7 class yesterday and then I think the girls classes went up through the years. 
 

Such long odds! But DD loved the class.

I spoke to the registrar and she said don’t worry about the form once they’ve sorted the IT problem we can fill it in at a later date.  

Oh that’s good to know. 
 

We haven’t had any times or anything yet have we?

Can I ask of anyone is still yet to suit the Hammond registration forms?

Yes I’m going to try again this weekend. I’ve tried so many times.

She said she will ask the panel to review his notes from the first audition to be considered now since they have no other date to see those who can’t attend.

 Thanks, I’ll just go ahead and accept the place I think…

So sorry you can’t make it tomorrow. I hope you’re all not feeling too bad.

I hope everyone had a good time at their Tring audition today .

The ups are good but the downs are difficult 😞 

They absolutely are. I think as parents we find it harder. DD definitely bounced back from her knocks quicker than I stopped hurting for her x

It was a no for my daughter too. ☹️
well done to all the other girls and good luck to you all for the final audition x

So sorry @Laceyjx

It’s a no for us. Sad DD but time to reflect on all the yeses and nos she’s had and whether to try again or call it a day. 

Really sorry to hear this @DanceMamma  hope your DD is ok.

Yes we have too 😊 

Congrats 😁 

Is it to join in with an existing class? 

We’ve just received CAT audition email. Good luck everyone.

Thank you, he seems to be.  It sounds like there is a lovely friendly vibe amongst the boys, making it a much more pleasurable experience for all I hope.

That’s so good to hear.

The way Tring do things is for me by far the best way, with an audition for those children who meet the MDS criteria and they know they want really want them. They then compete on a completely level playing field for the award. I love the transparency and openness of this. 

I love this thought and am going to hold onto this regardless of the outcome 😁

There were 60 children in the final last year years 7-11 (someone auditioning for US place) there were 6 MDS awards across the years.

And they had a physio assessment.

Thanks @NotadanceMare physio, I assume because it was via video last year (iirc) they didn’t have a physio at prelims so needed one at finals. Whereas they did have them at prelims this year so would they be needed again? 
 

6 MDS for 60 children 🙈. I liked my previous research of 10 places for 50 children 😁

@Neverdancedjustamumre your point about how much is invested to get them to this point. I was actually thinking about this last night. DD isn’t being prepared for these as such, she is a JA and has good local training but non of this (with the prep for WL prelims aside) is with her auditions in mind. Her school don’t send children to vocational school generally so my ‘keep awake thought’ last night was, how does DD compete against children that are being specifically prepared for this moment!

Hopefully WL results will be out before the 18th and anyone offered a place will not attend the funding final.

I expect some will still attend assuming WL isn’t their first choice? Not sure how many that would be though 🤷‍♀️

6 minutes ago, Ottobotto said:

Have you received any further information from Tring apart from the written paperwork?  I just assumed they had done the physio check so they won’t need to do another one (hopefully!). 

 

 

No, no further information received. 
 

I too am hoping the physio check doesn’t need to be redone at this point 😁

@SJBalletI think there's likely to be a lot of movement with the MDS places, as the children who are originally offered the MDS places at Tring are highly likely to also have been offered WL and/ or Elmhurst.

That’s what I’m hoping 😁

Good luck to all the boys for day of 2 WL 🤞

TRING FUNDING FINAL QUESTION

At the prelim DD had a physio assessment and the funding final offer just states that it is a ballet class for the final. It doesn’t mention anything about physio. I know on recent years they have also done a physio assessment during finals so do you think they have possibly changed it this year? 
 

Any insight into how many possible MDS this year? Past threads have shown anywhere from 3 to 10 but these are for all years 7-11 which I think is about 40-50 children at finals if I’m right? So slim chances whichever way you look at it 🙈

11-12yr old. Went in at 8.45, audition 9-10.15. Maybe there were more groups? 
 

She only auditioned for CAT though so maybe different group to the ones who didn’t look at flexibility?

Goodness knows. This whole process is like a secret mission 😁. 
 

Good luck to your DD x
