I just got an email from RBS to confirm acceptance of summer school place too - i accepted the place again (just in case i didnt the first time it was sent!! I am sure I did confirm last week though) - hope it doesn’t confuse things as I’m sure they’ll be loads of people who confirm twice just in case!! 

Same here! I accepted the waiting list offer last week, just got another email asking to accept so did it again. Emailed them to make sure they received it!

Also look at kings international, excellent training and accepts students going in at year 10 or 11 .

Thank you - I'll look at Kings now!

Oh yes. That would make it tricky. I didn’t realise. Apologies. 
 

I’ve certainly heard a lot of good things about Moorland and I think you can have a virtual tour? 

My fault for not explaining! Truthfully we were really hoping for Elmhurst or YDA but DD got a no for both for full time training next year. It seems to me that entering these vocational schools for year 10 is very difficult. If we move back next year instead, she would be going into year 11 which I think will be almost impossible. So right now my options are Moorland this year or continue here in Orlando for a year and take our chances next year in the UK! So much to think about!

My DD is only 10 so her place is just for Summer School. Although we may apply next year for full time. 
 

Could you look at the summer school ahead of September ? 

We live in Orlando so coming in and out of the UK involves quarantine both ways right now, plus a lot of cost unfortunately. I am in the process of trying to decide whether to move the family back this year or next - DD's ballet training is a big part of that as she is in a great program here in Orlando!

Waitlist for my DD. 🙂

Waitlist for my DD too. After a flat no for spring I’m ridiculously happy that we’ve progressed to waitlist 😁. Now DD can continue to look forward to Moorland. 

My DD was offered a place at Moorland too for this September, but I'm unsure about sending her over to the UK ahead of us, especially as we can't visit in person. What year is your DD going into? 

Thank you for the welcome! I have already found so much useful info on this site - very happy to be here! Also happy to answer anyone's questions about dance training over here in the U.S! My DD homeschools to allow for her pre-professional academy training. 

Hi everyone, I am in the same boat - waiting for that email! We are expats living in Orlando and had hoped to move back to the UK this summer to be near family. Unfortunately my daughter got a no from Elmhurst and YDA, and as she's going into year 10, her options are limited. Hoping she may get a summer intensive spot with RBS.
