  1. Royal have told me that it’s fine to use one of the lateral flow tests from school as long as you can report the results and get confirmation back (eg it must have a barcode that is reported)
  2. Think Fourth Form Dance should be the next lot of results out - hopefully !!
  3. We have heard of lots of bad experiences with zoom auditions - you are completely reliant on zoom working on the day and your internet not playing up - so much stress and worry involved in that situation if something goes wrong. At least with a video you can film it when you feel happy and comfortable. There is no easy answer to any of this, but blaming the Associate providers seems a bit harsh in my opinion given that they are doing a great job and still providing a great experience for the children in these scary, sad times. My children quite enjoyed making their videos and like looking back on what they did. I do agree the cost is high for auditioning, especially if there isn’t clarity about how many spaces are available, but I’m guessing the panel still spend the same amount of time assessing as they would in person?????
  4. It’s pretty much the standard audition that they run in live auditions too so I’m not sure what you expect them to do - lots of people will be reapplying so already know the video format; you can’t expect them to change their audition process completely surely ? I’m sure people would moan if they did that too. I don’t think they have had any choice with their Associate Programmes - the centres that they use dictate when and how the can use the facilities and numbers in the groups have had to be changed. My experience of other Associate Schemes is exactly the same over the last 6 months - the groups have been split; the classes have been shortened etc. Even so my DC have still loved their Associate classes, whether that be for the few live sessions that they managed or for the online provision. It would be a shame to discourage your students based on this ongoing rubbish situation (which is out of everybody’s hands) given that if they were offered a place, they would have a wonderful time.
  5. Last year, Tring offered full time places from the first audition (which was a whole day thing including academic assessments) but invited candidates that they wanted to consider for funding to another, separate audition which was held in March I think. Not sure if it will work the same this year though ...
  6. We used Imovies to put the video together, then sent the movie toOneDrive and just pasted the link from OneDrive on either the application form or email.
  7. The only way we could upload was by dragging the video file into their OneDrive folder. When we pressed the upload button, nothing happened.
  8. I didn’t even see the part about filming it side on until I put the clips together, so ours is filmed from the front !!
  9. I think it’s all sorted! If you close the OneDrive window and then log back in, your video file should be there. I’m assuming that they get a notification when someone uploads a file?!!’
  10. 2 x Claudia Dean leotards from the Signature collection. Size Child XL. Both in excellent condition. 1 x Royal Blue £30 plus £3P&P 1 x Navy Blue £30 plus £3 P&P
  11. Meryl soft Degas 9501 in size 14A. Front lined. Indigo (blue) colour. Excellent condition. £30 plus £3 P&P
  12. I emailed and asked and got a reply that they would be happy to accept a OneDrive link x
  13. Lots of the exercises are the same for all of the schools so we just printed out the requirements for each and ticked off as we went through then put all the clips together in iMovies x
  14. Hi we had this problem too so we used OneDrive to create a link instead and emailed that across. Didn’t want to risk a fine on top of all these audition fees!!!
  15. I read it as running alongside the Spring Intensive, not as instead of (although as things currently are, I am fairly sure it will end up that way!)...
  16. They have changed it for this year and are screening from photographs first. You will be told after the closing date on 11th Dec if you’ve been invited to audition....... seems a bit unreasonable to charge £40 though when all they might do is look at 4 photos.....
  17. I’m pretty sure the same could be said for any school!
  18. I emailed to ask about the socks and this is the reply I got:- Hi ....., Ballet socks would be preferred. Thanks, ....
  19. Tring CBA, from my experience, seem to have three letters. The “yes” one; the “not yet one”, and a very nicely worded “no” one (which can later turn into a not yet or a yes!). We had a “not yet” the first time round, followed by a “yes” at the next round of auditions, so the not yet really is a not yet. The groups At CBA have had to be made smaller so there will be so few spaces available this time round. Dont be disheartened, it’s definitely worth trying again and it’s a brilliant Associates scheme ☺️
  20. I have a 9502 in 12a. It’s in ciel opera colour in Lycra. £25 plus postage.
  21. Can I have the darker pink one please x
  22. Silky also do a ballet sock which is made of the same material as ballet tights. They’re brilliant and we’ve never had to use sock glue with them as they seem to just stay put!
  23. If this doesn’t sell, I am interested 😊
