I was told that dada are awarded to the most talented students. I find that hard. This means if your dancing child is 'the best' you might be very well off financially but still get a dada when a child that is slightly less talented but from a very poor family ends up unable to have training ....that to me is unfair.

I am probably going to be told I am very wrong but I feel there is a degree of 'wrongness' for want of not using a stronger word.

A student known to one of my friends has managed to bag finals for every school, the odd thing is although very beautiful and looking the part in a 'wow' kind of way her technique and dancing ability is poor, my friends daughter at all the same auditions with a mark of 90 in both advanced 1 and 2 is less beautiful with glasses and ginger hair .....not one final audition for her!

Do the students already at tring have to attend the funding audition if they want a place

Huge well done to your daughter katymac and sending a hug to the very proud mum x

Just heard that there are over thirty in the RCS audition tomorrow .....hope they are able to see everyone :/

Good luck dear x

Can anyone reassure me what time we have to be at Danceworks on Saturday for RCS audition ....thanks x

Sorry I am useless at computers, we should have gone today but couldn't make it. Heard audition went well though

Good luck for next week x

we went to today's audition

Hope you all enjoyed RSC audition today, good luck to those doing it next week, now the wait begins again xx

When have they changed it to now, I still havnt heard my 21st has been changed :/

I just want to say a huge well done to all your dd and ds who are the most beautiful dancers with immaculate technique and outstanding performance quality but are always receiving those 'no' letters purely because us parents couldn't pass down the genes for the correct ' ballet body' !!

We all admire you for your commitment and continued effort and if it were a paying audience that was the panel on these auditions I know you would all have yes yes yes!

I will confirm with them today then .....I don't want to turn up on 21st and no one there :/

Think there are two dates now .....dd had 21st confirmed yesterday xx

Well done xx

So sorry :/ I am useless at all this xx

Heard of a yes for rbs finals .....fingers crossed for you all x

About how many are there in the funding audition at Tring?

Thanks kat09 ....sorry to ask so many questions x

Forgive me again but if your dd isn't one of the most talented in the dada audition so dosnt get funding does that automatically mean you have to refuse the place or are there any other avenues open

Hope this isn't a silly question or one that's been answered elsewhere ....how are DADA's awarded, is it given to the most talented student or the ones that are in most need of it financially

Thought I would post in correct place too ....have never had the chance to post good news before so making the most of it. Dd got a yes from Tring with funding audition in March

So sorry was very excited and forgot :/

Never had good news like this before

Daughter has a place with funding audition at Tring .....so proud ....many happy tears this morning

Congratulations lilacfairy, so very pleased for you xx
