I've send an email to ask if there was any news and they told me that the latest admissions will arrive by the end of the month. If we haven't received anything by then, it means that no spot became available.... 😞

No, nothing here 

I just checked and the holidays in Paris started the 6th of April. The 22nd of April the holidays are over. So hopefully more news then!

Question, for those accepted to Monaco this year, was your video watched? And if so, how much (seconds, minutes?) of video was reviewed looking at your data diagnostics?   Just curious if they are really reviewing them. 

Yes, the video was watched. I believe they looked at it for 1,5 minutes.

Hi, has anyone received a place from the waitlist? 

We haven't had any news so far. Have you heard anything?

Oh that's so frustrating for you all! I really hope you hear soon!!🤞

I hear the same at other schools. Apparently one of the comments that is most common is that "they are too young". 

I have the impression that it's normal nowadays to first do another 2 years of junior company/graduate training somewhere before starting a paid position.

@BarbaraH and @Pier

 

There are UK Guardianship services by the way, which would be a lot cheaper than a parent staying in the UK for one or two weeks. But I understand wanting to stay, especially if it’s the first intensive they’ve done or they are a little younger.

Any ideas on which ones also do the ballet intensives? (Maybe for the future.) So far I only found this for entire school years.

Nothing…other than the email about the fraudulent emails being sent to potential students—but didn’t directly target RBS.  Anyone else get that one? 

Yes, i received that one as well.

Nothing here...

Dear All,

my DD 15yo will attend YBSS W1&W2 for her first time🤩. I will fly with her from Italy. I need to buy our tickets asap to save money: could someone please explain to me how does the "College delivery" work? I understood that there are staggered times defined by the YSS for each partecipant, but I would like to know how many time I should calculate from our arrival at the College to when I have to say goodbye to my DD... just to know if I can fly back on Sunday evening. Thanks a lot and sorry for my English😔!

My daughter is now attending the spring intensive and she was required to have a legal guardian in the uk during the intensive. Not sure if that's also the case for summer. But we are staying in the uk now for this reason.

Congratulations to your daughter BarbaraH!

Our videos have still not been watched 😞  We better apply earlier next year... we applied March 19.

We applied 27th of February. 

Hopefully some news for you in the beginning of next week! 🤞

We just received an email 5 minutes ago!! We never expected this, but she got in. She's going to go crazy when she comes home in half an hour!!

Still nothing here. Anyone else any news?

3rd year here as well. So far my daughter never came of the waiting list.

Hi

My daughter has not heard anything yet, but one of her friends was offered a place a few days ago.

Thanks for the info! Any idea when the friend submitted the video?

Nothing.  And our video was n Youtube hasn’t been watched, so I doubt will hear for another week, given we’re going into Easter holiday.  😢

Easter holiday is later in France. End of April if I'm correct.

Still no news here. Someone else maybe?

Nothing here either. I also check YouTube analytics to see if they already watched the video's. But not so far. Also some deadlines here. I'm waiting untill the last moment for accepting/paying others. But I won't be able to do that much longer. 

Nothing here. Tomorrow hopefully

Wow….& am I understanding correctly that dancers (family) are actually paying to be part of this? Or at least the dancers are not being paid a salary or living expenses at least? 

Not that I am aware of. Their fees can be found on their website: https://www.catballet.com/trainee/fees/

I have no personal experience, but I read a recent post on the Facebook Group "Parents of Pre-Professional Ballet Dancers". I'm afraid it wasn't positive news...

Last year my daughter was in "moyen". She had classical dance, repertoire, contemporary, yoga and charactère. The younger groups had mime. 

The higher the group, the more classes they have. I believe the classes started at 9h. (The first day they started at 10h30.)

Waiting list here. Anyone any ideas if there is a real chance of getting of the waiting list? (Royal waiting list has never been a succes so far.)  

We received an email with registration time. We need to register at 16h on Tuesday.
