Is there anyone on here for London SA1?

Have you ever heard of local dance schools (non vocational) not allowing students to attend Associates?

Just out of interest, why did you turn it down? Did you have to as your daughter at vocational school?

Does anyone know what time the girls SA London class would start and also how many are taken each year? Congratulations to all who have got on there

They ask for student’s height (and i think parents height too). No weight.

We have just sent off my DD’s audition application for year 10 entry for RBS (she’s currently in year 9) - am i reading correctly that everyone (girls) from that year who applies will be offered an audition class for Sunday 16th January 2022? Surely there could be 1000s who apply? Also will there be a final audition for year 10 entry? It’s so confusing! Last year my DD got offered a direct entry to the final audition (off back of the online summer school in 2020) - there were only approx 4 of them on the day and she didnt get a place, so i know how hard it is!

Thank you, that’s good to know

Did anyone’s DD or DS attend last week’s Week 2 RBS summer intensive? My DD was there and i am waiting to see the demonstration/ performance…it is due to be emailed to us. Does anyone know how long or when you think this will be? Wish they gave feedback after the course too!

My DD is week 2 and we know no one! And it’s her first time

My DD is due to attend week 2 of the summer school. A previous email we have stated: registration will always take place the day prior to the first day of the course listed (e.g if your course is 19-23rd july, registration will take place on 18th july). Accommodation will be provided from registration day. Collection day will be the last day of the course. I don’t have timetable/ timings for registration etc yet....I know my DD will go Sunday and we’ll collect her on the Friday.

Just been reading through all these comments as trying to deal with my dd’s rejection email from White Lodge (year 9 entry) positively!! She received direct entry to the final audition and also for the summer school this year based on doing the zoom online summer intensive last summer (2020). We were both really shocked and happy about all this as never before had thought about her auditioning or considering vocational school so early. She went to the final audition and got a no - In her email that we received, it says they recognise that children grow at different paces etc etc, and they recommend that she auditions again next year if she is the right age etc - do they always say that/ is that a standard rejection email or am i just wishful thinking 🤔 I am new to all this and found it quite stressful and all consuming- am in awe of you all who do it every year!!

How did your daughter get on with the audition ? Have you heard? Hope she’s enjoying the spring intensive too x

No we didn’t - probably should have but we didn’t think of it...she got direct entry to summer school this year and also to finals (through doing the online summer intensive in 2020) so didnt really think of that as an option

We just got an email regarding year 9 entry - unfortunately my dd didnt get a place 🙁 Keep telling myself there’s lot to look forward to with her dance school show and festivals coming up. She also got direct entry to summer school at White Lodge....hopefully meant to be good luck to everyone still waiting

Is that year 8 girls now/ year 9 entry (or for year 8 entry?)
