    Definitely look at Sophie-Jane Harrison. She is brilliant! I cant recommend her enough. Her associate scheme is on the outskirts of Birmingham, near the airport/NEC. https://sjcoachingandworkshops.co.uk/sj-coaching https://sjcoachingandworkshops.co.uk/register-interest

    @Peanut68 so interesting you say this, as many people also recommend other associates and intensives over RBS. Do you have any favourites out of the schemes you've taken part in? Thank you

    Results have just come out! @Tuliprose did you apply? My DD has got a place in the junior summer school :)

    Did anyone else attend the scholarship audition this weekend in Birmingham? It was my DD first time of trying. Is the audition usually this tough? She said difficult moves that she hasn't been taught before. She isn't a stranger to auditions and does two associate schemes. It was surprising but perhaps this is typical for YBS? Thanks.

    Hi! My dd has just finished 3 years of Elmhurst YD programme. She's just about to start yr7 Extended Dancers. They were notoriously late in sending invoices each Autumn term! Often not until the half term! Don't worry about it and enjoy :)

    Nothing here. Bath 1st choice, Birmingham 2nd. I know Bath is full, but I did hope there would be some movement in Birmingham 😔
  7. In at the deep end
    Not yet. My DD is SWL but I haven't heard anything and also haven't heard gossip from others. I guess it could be a while yet, or maybe not at all!

    @JaneDance1904 I'm pretty certain you cant be a vocational student and also take mids classes. I dont blame current students for accepting both, just in case something goes wrong with their school application or finances, and then they can't go. I expect we'll see some movement later this term when the full time places are confirmed.

    Thank you 🥰

    It's a no for us this time (yr 5, Birmingham) 😔 I'm a bit gutted, as last year my DD was on SWL for JA and got a place at Elmhurst Young Dancers. But this year I guess RBS think she has less potential than last year? Her video wasn't the greatest, so I'm not totally surprised.... She's OK with it and loves her classes at Elmhurst. So we'll put this behind us and try again next year when 🤞🏼 auditions will be in person again! Very well done to all those that were offered places this year, congratulations to you all 🎉💕🩰

    You too @SarahG1881 🍀

    @Dancedreamerit could be a definite yes, you just can't tell! My DD only had a few seconds viewed last year and was offered SWL in a year when hardly anyone was given real places. And even a no this year might turn into a yes next year. Good luck 🍀

    They've had views now too 🙂 So hopefully there aren't many left now and we'll hear soon!

    I wish I knew what all of this meant! We're applying for the same group. All videos watched thoroughly once, then each watched again for just a few seconds last week 🤔 I hope we find out soon!

    I know people who haven't had any views too. I suspect that different centres are being looked at by different people? Our friends with no views are Bath. Or perhaps in in the order videos were submitted? They were near the original deadline for submission.....
  16. In at the deep end
    They really do!!! I've given up trying to second guess 🙃 Which year group and location have you applied for? Ours is yr5 Birmingham. Good luck!
  17. In at the deep end
    It looks like we had a really brief 2nd view of each video yesterday, but analytics haven't loaded properly for those yet. Friends of ours still haven't had a single view yet, so I wonder if it will still be a while before results are announced?
  18. In at the deep end
    @SarahG1881 my DD friends haven't had views yet.....

    I think everyone is different and RBS seem to look at potential more than current ability? My DD has been dancing since age 2.5 and takes several classes a week. But don't let this put you off, as it means nothing and I have no idea how she'll fare this year! I think they look at physique, flexibility, musicality, potential and who knows what else??!! Good luck to your daughter x
  20. In at the deep end
    Absolutely! You're not alone, I have no idea 😬 It literally could mean anything!!! X
  21. In at the deep end
    That's interesting, as we're both Birmingham yr5? I wonder if they have had the same judge looking at them? X

    We've now had views on all three videos, they were watched on Thursday afternoon. 12 mins, 10 mins and 14 mins respectively. I don't know if its good or bad that they took so long to make their minds up?! 🤔
  23. In at the deep end
    Loads of us still waiting for views!
  24. In at the deep end
    Same. No views here either. I'm also pretty sure there haven't been views for Bath yr5 as well. It must be taking them ages to watch all the videos individually like this.......as opposed to typical years where there are several applicants in each audition group.

    That's actually already happening, as her local teacher is very much from the RB background, so a few positions/postures clash between her and the YD teacher. My DD accepts this and tries to remember whose class she's in 😂
