Had the same, can't understand why it's taking so long 😫

Last year it was 26 April, although that was after 2 rounds of auditions and format different this year with only 1 round. They said results would be in 'April' but I was also hoping this would mean earlier especially since last audition was at least a few weeks ago now. Hoping they might surprise us tomorrow but would be great if anyone has any more concrete info?

Tring are advertising a course in June, says from age 8 so depends when his birthday is (or maybe worth asking if they would be flexible?) https://www.tringpark.com/holiday-courses/boys-day-of-dance-2024/

I'm not sure if they have even confirmed summer dates yet, but Malvern was also very good last year. They are currently advertising for Easter.

Thank you again @Betty we also watched a lovely promo on you tube this afternoon on the tours and it did look like it would be a really rewarding experience. DD really looking forward to it now and can't wait to see which tour she will be on! 😊

Congratulations to your daughter, I hope she has a wonderful experience 😊

Thank you so much for the insight @Betty. As a newcomer to LCB this is really helpful, thank you.

My DD was also offered touring company and as you @RemiM although she knows how high the standard was and is def grateful for the place, she was also slightly disappointed. I do wonder if the majority of main company places went to those who did it last year, especially as @BallerinaMum13 mentioned they were still currently active with the gala this week. Either way, touring company is still a great achivement and I am sure will be a great opportunity. In terms of waitlist, I suspect there will be very little movement on main company, but I wouldn't be surprised if slots open up for touring. It's quite a different offering to the main and I didn't realise there was a cost for this as well which may not suit all....

Thank you for the update @LGBalletTaxi its quite painful waiting - even more so when I am seeing many insta posts with lots of LCB children involved in the gala performance this week. Do you happen to know how these children were selected? Maybe I am over thinking it now but I'm starting to wonder if they actually have a cast in place already...🤷‍♀️

Thank you @TwoDancers, really helpful 😊

Could anyone tell me whether Tring allow boarders to go home every weekend if they want? We live fairly close (although not close enough to consider being a day student) and I was wondering if we could potentially pick up Fri evening and drop off Monday morning each week. I am planning to go to their open day in Jan so can ask then but just wondering if anyone might know....thank you!

Thanks @BalletMumOfOne yes looks like will have to chase again. I do feel sorry for the new starters though, it must be awful having to wait this long and not know what's happening.

thanks, I do think the CBA admin/invoicing is managed separately. Maybe they should think about combining it! Hopefully we will hear something soon

Thanks - my friends DD is supposed to be starting on Sunday and hasn't heard anything either so is getting a bit worried. My DD is currently a student and we also haven't had an invoice (or her assessment report from June!) - seems a bit odd, not sure whats happening!

Just wondering if any new starters this term had heard anything yet?
