carmen67 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Just a little update here. DD did her first audition for NSCD on Saturday. She loved it. Really enjoyed the ballet class in particular. There was a cut after they did their solos and she made it through to the afternoon session. So now we wait to see if she gets an offer or is on the wait list. I was so happy it was such a positive experience for her as it was her first audition. It has been great for her confidence. So onwards and upwards to the Codarts and Fontys auditions. I hope everyone else is getting on well. 4
carmen67 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks sarahw! Well today she got an offer of a place on the foundation course. She had hoped for the BA but is happy nonetheless with this offer as she is only 17 , not turning 18 until after her exams. Has anyone any experience or knowledge about the foundation course?
Sniffymum Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Sorry to change the subject but wanted to share good news- heard today did has an ENB final. Hope there is good news for other dd/ds's. Does anyone know how many girls roughly ENB take to finals and what the orthopaedic assessment involves? Thanks. 9
Kat09 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Congratulations to your DD Sniffymum … 2 years ago I think there were around 26 at finals. The physio assessment looked at feet/flexibility and spine - I'm sure others on here will remember more from last year - good luck for finals
Huddsballetmum Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Congratulations to your DD carmen67. I know she will love it - all the students seem to. I'm at NSCD tomorrow if you would like me to ask any questions on your behalf I am more than happy to do so. Just PM me. Happy to help! 1
carmen67 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Thank you Huddsballetmum. I really appreciate your kind offer! I have no questions right now but might well have some down the line. We got a great tour of the school on Saturday and I was really impressed, particularly with the pastoral and general care of student wellbeing. Also they seem to be really helpful with finding accommodation, which for us, over here in Ireland is invaluable! 2
Gollyrox Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 We have just had an email from rbs and it's a no for my ds he will be disappointed but he has only been dancing for 4 years and so he never imagined he would actually get in, but you have to hope!!
Flexible Fred Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Sorry to hear that Gollyrox, what date did your Ds audition ? Fingers crossed you get better news from Tring
Gollyrox Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks flexible Fred, he auditioned on the 13th for rbs, and tore the muscle in his groin at the end so his tring audition on the 15th didn't go well, but really hoping for good news from tring or he will be a very sad boy:(
tutugirl Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Wow Sniffymum - congratulations to your DD from me ! Moorlands have done a fabulous job with training then . I never doubted it . Good luck for finals x
Sniffymum Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Thanks Tutugirl Yes Lynsey and Simon are the best. DD loves it at Moorland.

Miracle Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Best wishes dancing10 for your Tring results. Took a couple of weeks last year when DD auditioned there. Finals was a lot quicker.x

Flexible Fred Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I really wish these upper school results for Tring etc would hurry up and arrive ! 2
dancing10 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 It's a nightmare isn't it. Last year they arrived within a week x
Harwel Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I know it was for year 10 entry, but when we were waiting for Tring results a couple of years ago it took 5 weeks for the first audition results. Second audition results next day though! Doesnt seem to be any set procedure with Tring. Keep strong everyone.
krishell Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Can you tell me if it is by email the results or mail for Tring?
Harwel Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 For us it was letter first audition, email for second.
Yorkshire Pud Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 At my dd's audition at Tring they said that it would be at least 3 weeks until we heard anything.
dancing10 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 What date did you go if you don't mind me asking ......I guess we were spoilt last year getting the results within a week :/
Flexible Fred Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Waiting for the postman Dancing10 ? ... I am lol
