The red shoes

Tring announced their results and funding audition dates are to be confirmed. So surely Royal could do that too?

At the minute though the finals

cant go ahead as planned (I think-have somewhat lost track of what’s allowed and what isn’t 🤣), so surely they’re waiting until the rules change and they can confirm plans...

They’ve already set out a planned date ... 12th March for boys . Dance exams can take place when schools resume. I’m an ISTD teacher so know this rather than guessing. I’m sure auditions will be allowed once schools open given its for a full time school ... fingers crossed anyway

I know the closing date was the 5th Jan but do you think they’ve been assessing them from when they were given in? Even if it was to start putting them in to piles of yes, no, maybe. 

Yes most definitely as ours was viewed in the middle of November, 1 day after the original closing date xx

Last year the offer for year 7 boys White Lodge came on the 10th March, which I’m sure was earlier than we anticipated

They have given a date of 12th March for boys finals ( wishful thinking I feel) so I would hope we find out soon to prepare ..... if lucky enough too 🙏

I guess they haven’t even started looking yet then. I do often wonder how much communication there is between schools - there must be at least some. Are WL always the last to audition/reply?
I’m not really very clued up on the process - trying to forget about it all until an email pops up but that’s way easier said than done. 

They’ve definitely been watching the videos but it appears only one watch so far.... this is going to take an age!!!! 

So.... anyone had anymore views on their WL video? We are still only the one back in November for about 6 minutes I think? I can’t remember now.. it’s all becoming a blur 😂😂

Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, I know who your very talented son is too. Did your ds apply to Tring as well? Hope to see you guys soon. xx

Aww thank you 🙏. No we just did Elmhurst and RBS .... the stress waiting is immense 😰. J says well done T 👍🏼Xx 

Well Done yo your ds ( I think I know him and he knows my DS from kickstart). Seeing his photos etc on Instagram I’m surprised he didn’t get a funding audition!!!! He looks fabulous!! They must have very limited spaces. Still a fantastic achievement though ❤️

Our video has just been watched a 2nd time between 18:00-19:00... anyone else? 
Do you think they pass it round the panel?

I think they offer places to everyone they like - all go back to the funding recall. There were around 40 at my daughters funding recall. When the video is watched doesn’t make a difference I shouldn’t think. 

But just suppose they offer places to all those they like and then only a few get funded but all the rest who turned up can afford fees... surely they will be oversubscribed 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔

Both Tring and Hammond traditionally offer places after each audition day. My daughter was offered her Hammond place after its November audition ( in 2017) - despite there being another three audition dates to come ( Jan, Feb and March). 

That’s a shame for those who sent in videos late as they may have offered out all their places to those who sent theirs in sooner x

They are but the closing date is the 5th February xx

How can they offer out places before watching all the videos??? That’s very odd!!

Crazy isn't it! The year we became teachers and film makers!!! Well done. So lovely isn't it when you finish 

I thought Hammond results were out? I’ve seen several on here posting about their acceptances xxx 

Just now, ponklemum said:

Do you think we’ll get the results via mail or email? x

Tring is by post, and I think Elmhurst said via email.. so I think WL May be via email too xx 

One thing is for sure.... we will get results within the next 4 weeks 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Oh gosh, so at least 2 more weeks, but maybe 4! So impatient!!

I would prepare for 4 .... with Gin! X

Actually the confirmation email said they would let us know by mid Feb at the latest. Also had heart failure at the RB marketing emails! 😂

The email they sent out at the beginning of Jan just after closing date said that they would hope to let all know the results from the preliminary by end of Feb. 

Your’e right it did say mid Feb on confirmation but they’ve now extended the stress!!!! 

Wish RBS would stop sending emails about their merchandise!!! It gives me heart failure every time I see it pop up !! 🤣🤣🙃🙃

Might be wrong but I'm sure I've had a view for elmhurst? I've been keeping track of views! I've got a year 6 DD not a young dancers x 

Yes it seems like they are making their way through the videos!! It’s going to be a long 4 week wait !! X

Well done to you all!!! We didn’t apply to Hammond. Just RBS and Elmhurst xxx

28th Jan?
 

We didn’t apply for Elmhurst so aren’t in the loop, trying to forget about it (way easier said than done) but our WL video still hadn’t had anymore views, just that initial one of a few minutes a couple of days after submission. Has everyone else’s been viewed now? 

28thFeb. 
 

WL said we would hear by end of Feb. We haven’t had anymore views since the one back in November after we sent it in.

Now that Elmhurst has announced that results will come out via email on the 28th, do we still think RBS will be earlier? Or are we thinking a similar time? x

Did they say it would be sent out via email on the 28th ? I thought they said they would notify us by the 28th ? X

Ok my DS has had a view this evening and he is year 6 YD so seems there is no rhyme or reason to their viewing order 🤣

Anyone had their DS viewed yet? 

We are B surname but no views but then we are a YD year 6.... who knows lol
