Thank you. The last email said it wasn't recommended that they take them but there was no mention of them being able to take it and hand it in at night.

I hope the seniors had a lovely time! We are getting ready for the junior SI next week but I was surprised to hear that mobile phones were not authorised. My DD was keen to take hers and I must admit I'm a little nervous that I can't contact her. From looking at social media, I assume that the seniors were allowed their phones?

I'd love to know which group that is, I've searched without luck. Thank you! x

Wonderful, well done to her!

They were in Cardiff last year so may come back!

I think they are looking for children who love to perform. They seem to push the children to the best of their abilities, and the skills when my DD did it varied from recreational/ 1 lesson a week children to pre-professional/vocational.

Sorry your DD didn't get in @Silver. Which group was she in? I noticed the same in my DD's group, but I think it is normal as they have more classes than audition groups.

Same here @MissEmily. Reading older posts, it seems the yeses go out first. Congratulations to your dancer @dance5678 ! Can I ask which group they got accepted for?

The RAD does a exam summer intensive for the vocational grades in mid August. Could this be an option so she is prepared for the in person exam in August?

She is at 9am as well.

I've just received my daughter's audition time.

We haven't received anything either. Reading the comments above, I think we should hear today or tomorrow.

Bless her, and well done for the BBA place! I'd say let her, she sounds very mature and able to cope with the potential rejection. It's much harder for us mums! 🤣

Sorry @Laburnum1, I remember you said Y5. It is a tough year to get into, maybe try again next year or the one after. x

Sorry to hear, I hope your DD isn't too disappointed. It's so hard for them! Was this for Y7?

Given the time of day they send out audition info, I'd say you still stand a good chance 😉

I did wonder... it states that the class is 12.45 til 2.45pm, so unless they are all happening at the same time, there's only 1 group? Y7 and 8 audition separately from 9 and above though, so perhaps 2? If a seasonned Young Dancers' parent has the answer, I'd love to know!

Thanks, she's auditioning for Y9, although I got the impression from reading their website that there is only one class for Y9 to 12? Or do they train in year groups like the younger ones? If there is only one class, there can't be many places available... What year is your DC auditioning for?

I've emailed and they were very quick to answer and confirmed they had received my daughter's application. They said information would be sent "in due course".

Thank you so much, I'll email today to check that they have received my application.

Thank you! 😊

Is anyone auditioning for the extended young dancers? I was wondering whether you had received an acknowledgement email for your application? I applied a few weeks ago but only just realised I had no acknowledgement that it had been received. Thank you 😊
