Pointeyourtoes Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hi, has anyone applied for this summer school? Does anyone have any info on chances of getting in and when they release the results. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 There was a thread on this a couple of years ago. Don't know if the information is current enough to help: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/2356-paris-opera-ballet-school-summer-intensive/?hl=%2Bparis+%2Bopera+%2Bballet+%2Bsummer+%2Bintensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointeyourtoes Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks Janet. We were told we would hear by Feb 12th at the latest but I was just interested in others experiences. Thanks again x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisiblecircus Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 A couple of posters from the forum applied last year and got places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencedance Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 My daughter did a video and we sent it in to Paris Opera. I received an email saying they would give results by 2/12. But then I received another email saying my creit card did not go through...I didn't factor in the difference in how expiration dates are displayed in English vs. French on their form. I tried to clear it up, but honestly have no idea whether it ever worked out (after several attempts at email/calls). So I'm not even sure that the application went through...I ended up photo copying my credit card and mailing! I have heard this program is extremely selective...much like RBS summer school. But I'm new to all of this so not entirely sure. My daughter is just 9 and not in a vocational school. She works hard, but I think it's a serious long shot! She's been accepted to a few programs here in the US that have deposit deadlines approaching, so it would be nice to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineRose Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I also auditioned for this program. I really hope I get in. I also recieved the email . We should find out soon! In about a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmmom Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 My daughter applied this year and the last one. Last year she attended the junior course who is the lowest and the only one opened to children aged 11 and under. Fingers crossed...the results will be released February 12th.

Spencedance Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) vmmom...congratulations to your daughter on attending last year! Last year, did POB also set a date when they would notify applicants of results? And if so, were they pretty firm with that date or was notification given before/after? We have looming deadlines for deposits at other programs, all before the POB stated date of 2/12. Edited February 5, 2016 by Spencedance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They set the same date (February 12th) but due to the "tremendous amount" of applications they set a new date (February 17th). I hope this year they will send the results on time, I have a deadline too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastel Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 My dd applied via video last year and was accepted. It was the best 2 weeks of her life, quite an amazing program. It is hard to get into, but who knows what criteria they are looking for. There seemed to be a good range of students from many different countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance*is*life Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Is it expensive? I have some talented kids who might be interested, obviously for next year now, but certainly cost would need to be taken into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineRose Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Is it expensive? I have some talented kids who might be interested, obviously for next year now, but certainly cost would need to be taken into consideration.It is not expensive for what it is but it is 1000 euros for 1 week, and 1900 euros for 2 weeks. If you do not want to board (like me), it is 700 for 1 week and 1300 for 2 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering what level I would be in being 13 if I got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastel Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 My dd had just turned 18 and was in the Superior Pro group, which is the highest level. The levels were not strictly by age, so there were 18 year olds in the Pro level too. I don't think it really matters what level you are in, the tuition is excellent for all levels. We were allowed to watch a demonstration on the final day and they all showed some lovely work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmmom Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 What terrific news. Congratulations. Are all the classes going to be taught in the French language? Last year my daughter was able to learn some very basic French too . She was in a room with two English-speaking girls so she refreshed her English! The class was directed in both languages (mainly French) but since all the ballet terms are in French she was fine. She was in Junior class.

Flora Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi My DD was delighted to get a place at the POB too- she is 15 this year and in the "superieur" group. If anyone knows what the standard is like and how much PDD they do I'd be grateful to hear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janiceannj Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hello. I am new here and thankful for a place to ask questions! My daughter is on the wait list for Paris Opera. Has anyone had any luck with being called off the wait list? We are spending the summer in France so my daughter will not be dancing with another program. We are just keeping our fingers crossed. Would anyone that has been accepted mind sharing the list of what they ask the dancers to bring? I would like to pack for our trip & take along everything she needs just in case and not have to do any last minute shopping in France. Thank you!

Hambleton Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 http://international-dance-pontlabbe.com/en/ This is a very respected summer school in Brittany at the end of August. Just a thought. DS has had several friends attend over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Janiceannej The starting pack doesn't include a list of kit but there is a comment that a complete "trousseau" will be sent in June. The leotard is plain black for the higher classes and pink for the lower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janiceannj Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thank you, Flora! I have also emailed them to ask for the list but they haven't replied - I guess they don't have it ready to send out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
