    This suddenly occurred to me last weekend too. Last year, they released all of the year 6 results on one day then years 4&5 were broken up into four groups, so there were five results days in total. In ‘normal years’, it would take about 10-14 days for them all to be released in order of the centre auditioned at. So even when the results do start coming out, it’s unlikely to be done in a day (although let’s hope for all of our sanity that somehow it will be🤦🏻‍♀️) For that reason, I don’t think we will hear anything this side of the weekend now. Let’s hope we might be put out of our e-mail refreshing misery next week! Is anyone on here still waiting for first views/have friends who are waiting? X

    @Sassydancer I’m absolutely certain they won’t do that. As frustrating as it is, someone always has to be last and perhaps you are, for whatever random reason, towards the end of their views. I remember last year when the year 6 results came out, someone hadn’t had views until the night before the emails were sent. Then later in the process, for one centre someone had views the same morning the results went out. Hang in there and I’m sure your turn will come X

    That’s good to hear @In at the deep end, thanks for that. ☺️ I think @Sassydancer, @Exhausteddancemum and @SarahT were still waiting on views, have you had any since last posting? One thing is for sure, everyday is one day closer to knowing🤷🏻‍♀️

    Hi @MissEmily, Tring & YDA are both £45 each. RBS haven’t advertised their fees for 2021-22 yet, and I know in recent years there has been an increase in the associate application fees so I expect that even if we know what they paid this year, we can probably add £5/£10 to that price. I did look a while back at Elmhurst, I think it was around £50 but it isn’t showing on their website at present. I don’t really know anything about Moorland so can’t help you with that one I’m afraid!

    @PinkandwhiteLast year, my dd’s videos were viewed between 12-1 on a Saturday afternoon, and some this year have reported late night views, so I think they are likely to carry on through half term. They would usually have the 4 London audition days Tue-Fri of half term, so they will be used to working around this time. Still doesn’t mean we’ll know soon though! X

    Have you had views now? I know you mentioned at the beginning of the week you were still waiting, I hope they’ve been viewed now! X

    @Reggi, if you uploaded via YouTube, you can download an app called YouTube Studio which shows you all of the analytics eg how many views, when and how long for. Hope this helps! X

    My dd does two vocational school associate schemes and I would say most of those we know, if not all, do two or some even three. It’s definitely not that unusual, particularly around year 5/6 when attention is often moving towards vocational schools and using it as a way to dip into experience of the schools before choosing if/where to audition.

    I don’t think Tring are capped on how many they invite to funding auditions, so I imagine that anyone they think have met their criteria they will invite for the funding audition, whether it’s from an October or January audition.

    My attention has also been turning to this recently and I’m very aware that this will all come around so quickly now. In ‘normal’ years, Royal open their applications a day or two around 5th Oct (like they always close JAs around 23rd March) and I imagine the other schools are similar. Tring usually have prelims from Oct - Jan, from what I remember the usually hold one roughly every three weeks but can add extra dates if there is the demand. I’m not as clued up on the others, but I imagine they all open up sometime in October. Also desperately hoping for some open days, it would be so nice to visit them all. We have done virtual tours/ Q&As with two of the schools, both of which were excellent, but not quite the same as actually being there in person.

    Oh wow, good luck to all those waiting x

    I’m exactly the same, we are a year away from applying but this thread has really had my attention! I’ve been sneaking off at work to check my phone these past three days and I don’t have a dc auditioning so can’t even imagine what it’s been like. I am so delighted for all of the yes’s and waitlists and very hopeful that the ‘not yets’ will have other offers or follow their different path to chase their dreams. You’ve all been such a supportive group of parents, your dc are off to a flying start already x
  15. Tdc34
    AMAZING! I’m not surprised at all and we are absolutely delighted for you and ds, it’s thoroughly deserved! Have a brilliant evening celebrating, I hope he is elated! X
  16. Tdc34
    Yes, we were very tempted! It seems like a lovely opportunity to start a year earlier for those who want to.
  17. Tdc34
    That’s incredible, what a fantastic offer! Yes my dd loves YDA too and is hoping to audition there next year. Their associate classes are fantastic so I’ve no doubt the full time school is equally as wonderful!
  18. Tdc34
    Wow, that’s brilliant! Do they offer fully funded places at YDA or partial? Sending lots of love and luck for more wonderful results in the week ahead! X
  19. Tdc34
    Could anyone with priority booking please tell me the start times for the Wed Thu and Fri for Juniors/10-12 year olds? I don’t need all the individual classes, would just be so useful to know when they start each day!
  20. Tdc34
    Those with priority booking, have you been given the timetable? On their website, it just lists the days and classes but no times yet.
  21. Tdc34
    Good luck to all the amazing dancers auditioning and big love to all you superhero parents taking your dc there. You have so much to be proud of and huge well done for all of your support to get them this far! X

    @Londonballetmumahh ok, thanks v much x
  23. Tdc34
    @cotes du rhone !yes that’s certainly a big consideration. They have delayed the deposit deadline and have said they won’t even be sending us payment details until mid April by which time we might know more. My dd would be able to go and isolate on return for 10 days if required, but not if they’d have to isolate in France on arrival too. We are lucky in that they are probably staying with friends for a few nights and we aren’t booking travel yet so we have a while until we need to decide whether to part with any cash.

    My daughter is at Tring CBA, she was 8 when she auditioned and only in grade 1. I think the content of the ‘real life’ audition was slightly harder than other similar Associate schemes, yet there wasn’t an expectation of them all to be able to do everything, more just a willingness to see them have a go was always the impression we were given. She loves it there, the studios are stunning and the faculty all seem lovely. We have a friend who wants to audition but I can’t see any details on the website, did you guys email them to be sent these details or has the deadline passed now?

    @Activeswi ok that’s great to know, thank you so much. We’ve found 4 other girls going from England but they are all 1 or 2 levels higher. I’m hoping they may be able to see each other for lunch though. That’s great to know re the trips. They have definitely planned to go to the Eiffel Tower to get some artistic tutu pics at dusk one evening! Depending on what travel restrictions are like by then, I am hoping to meet them out there for the last 2 days so will definitely try and book an observers ticket for the Friday, then at least my hubby can use it even if I can’t!
