Stock up on the wine in advance Miracle, or do the auditions and then go on holiday for a few weeks so you get all the results together - it is very stressful !!!

One of DD's friends had a 'no' letter on Saturday - has anyone else heard anything ?
-
She did say it would be by letter, BUT don't quite believe the no idea when results will be sent - it must be common knowledge, she was probably being discreet lol x

Royal Ballet School Senior Associate Auditions
Jazzpaws replied to docs and dancing's topic in Doing Dance
Congratulations - my DD joined SA2 for the first time last year and has loved every moment !!! -
I did weaken and gave central a quick call today, just to enquire about results . results will be by letter, but she had no idea when that will be
-
No post today or email - not sure if it will be an email anyway
-
Thank you it's her life - how lovely for your DD x
-
Glad to see you back BD19 - and good to hear what you have to say xx
-
OK - it gets worse, perhaps 2 bottles of wine would have sent me into a blissful sleep - perhaps I should have sent her horse riding
-
BUT - on the bright side , it would be possible for DD to go (with host family), but it would be nice if a few others did this too
-
Really don't see how people do it, apart from using a host family. If income is under £21,000, to pay £6,000 per year for in not possible. If income is higher, there is much more to pay - not sure how all these boarding places are funded. I'd be interested to know how many use host families ?
-
I'm off to Tesco too - so bottle of wine and a lottery ticket in order !!
-
Thank you so much. Can't bear all this waiting !!

Don't really know why I'm even thinking about it - as DD is only on reserve list and if her offer would be affected by her needing maximum funding, doesn't look good - but we'll see
-
Had a look and maximum DADA maintenance element is £4550 per year, so if a host family is charging around £500 per months over 10 months, that would cover it, or nearly there if you had to rent for the 12 months, which is the way forward I think for those qualifying for the DADA. I certainly couldn't find another near £6,000 per year - horrors !! (I take it you mean the shortfall takes into account the £4550) - I know it's nice to be in the boarding house, but this way makes it affordable for those on low income - how many go with host families Its her Life ?
-
It all gets so complicated. DD is on the reserve list, but I understood this would be open for quite some time. i have also been told by another mum who phoned Tring that there are groups on the reserve list according to how much funding you need - the more you need the lower on the list you are ????? As DD would need maximum funding, I have decided not to enquire as to where she is on the list as it is probably bad news, sometimes ignorance is bliss (or I'm a coward). From what I have gathered, a DADA (with maximum maintenance portion) would not cover the boarding fees, but would go a long way towards paying for staying with a host family - another mum I know is convinced that the DADA would pay for everything - just wondering as I'm not expecting to hear any more from Tring. And so the waiting goes on ...........
-
Oh well - the postman has been and gone today - no letter and no email as yet !!! They did say 10 days after the audition so perhaps it's best to just wait and stop speculating - can't help feeling very edgy
-
Did your daughter go to Central xx
-
Thanks stressedmum - yes she was wearing a dark green leotard - no email or letter for us either, this waiting is dreadful xxxx
-
Wish they would send them all out at the same time - makes it even worse for the ones still left hanging in limbo

Well, I'm not really the expert, but I think she's OK with turnout, told to hold it from time to time, but I'm sure she's not alone, her legs go high and she seems flexible to me. perhaps the callbacks were the ones they were questioning after all and the rest were yes or no - no idea at all
-
When DD went in for her physio, she was only in there a few minutes, so perhaps this was a kind of physio back up. Who knows, it's like a big guessing game, trouble is when you are waiting, you probably start reading into thing that aren't there - I need to chill
