Yes def only 2 British girls made RBS upper school this year! 

Has anyone had an email for Elmhurst sixth form final audition day, timings etc? 

We’re waiting for Elmhurst finals timings too, hopefully receive email soon need to book hotel etc! 

Does anyone have any experience of the sixth form final audition day? What does it involve etc? Also approx time the day finishes? Many thanks! 

It appears Tring doesn’t offer dada’s anymore? Only school scholarship up to 10% of the termly fees? 

Hi dd has a sixth form dance course audition soon, does anyone know how Tring compares to other schools such as Elmhurst, Central etc? Dd is probably more classical focused so was wondering if  Tring is more focused on contemporary, jazz? What is the standard of teaching of classical ballet at Tring & graduate employment etc? Thankyou! 

Received email today dd got finals! 

Dd audition time was emailed to her email address 2 days ago 1.45 audition time 

No we haven’t heard either I rang the school last Friday & was told possibly today? 

Can anyone give me an idea of termly costs at Elmhurst for sixth form? Dd has been invited to finals have looked at dada website & we fall into middle bracket am I right in thinking approx £2000 per term for tuition & accommodation??thanks

Is that the same for sixth form & dada awards?

Hi we were told at dd audition on Wednesday 7-10 days!

Hi when my dd was on waiting list a few years ago for a ja yr 4 place we were def told waiting list closed at autumn half term

It does give this impression doesn't it? Can understand a DVD application for overseas applicants, but to ask that everyone sends one in just to hopefully get a preliminary Audition seems crazy. As far as I know RBS don't ask for a DVD application only from international applicants? 

Many thanks for all the replies Ballet West will certainly be a school for dd to consider

Hi does anyone have any experience of Ballet West School dd would like to apply, wondering what the student accommodation costs & where it is etc? teaching standard etc thank you 

Thanks for all the replies most helpful 

Hi need some advice dd keen to audition for central & Elmhurst, feeling concerned that if offered a place how do they cope at 16 with cooking, cleaning etc as well as studies? Seems very young & surely at that age would need house parents for guidance, does anyone have dc at these schools? Thanks 🤔

Had a look at Zurich ballet academy website and it states no tuition fees! Am I reading correctly? Does anyone know much about this school? Thanks

As far as I know the only other school that offers the same degree course as central is Rambert? I find it amazing that dance & drama awards offer no help towards living/boarding expenses if on a middle income! Dd has had a mds award a couple of years ago & that included boarding thankfully. 

Is that 10k per term or for the entire academic year? 

Yes dd did a one day course with central & the student accommodation they recommend is approx £200 per week! Scary and as you say food etc on top of that. She might have to go as a day student if fortunate to be offered a place 😃
