BumbleBallerina Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I was wondering if anyone knows the difficulty of the ybss audition and what you do?? Also do any of you know the odds of getting a scholarship?? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeafterballet Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The scholarships and recipients are listed in the, I think it is Julys edition, Dancing Times. Dd has done the audition twice in York and enjoyed it. Not majorly challenging I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilacfairy Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Did anyone attend this audition today ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum6 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 My dis and did attended this audition yesterday. It was very well organised and extremely busy. They seemed to think there were over 50 in the 2 pm audition which goes to show the growing popularity of this scheme. Competition for funding gets tougher and tougher. They both enjoyed the class and I loved the chance to catch up with friends. Fingers crossed now. It is a super summer school! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum6 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Good luck to everyone auditioning in York this weekend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum6 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Long time to wait for results this year. In previous years we heard the day after the audition which was fab for dating nerves. I guess the growing number of auditionees make that more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shygirlsmum Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Awww... I'm sorry for your DD. Well done to your dis. I'm so looking forward to watching on the last day as DD's friend did the SS last year and her mum raved about how amazing the older dancers were (especially the boys). You are going to have to help me out as I have pondered for a while and still have no clue as to what dis stands for ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanprincess Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Just had a reply; am on the waiting list for a place does anyone know the likelihood of a place becoming available? I have places at other summer schools which I need to accept or decline ASAP....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat09 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I can't answer your question - it's a very popular SS with excellent tuition so maybe places will only become available through injury? Have you other plans if a place doesn't come up and you have declined your other prospects ? Fingers crossed that you get where you would like to go this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 My dd was on waiting list last year but had no luck:( (Edited by Mod) Kiwimum, I assumed you meant your "dd" as opposed you your "dad" so I edited your post - hope that's ok? :-) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLou Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Final fees are due to YBSS by 20th May, so I would assume any movement would come around then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
