Jan McNulty Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 For those of us who haven't a clue in the finals here is the list: https://www.rad.org.uk/news/genee-2016-finalists-announced Is it usual that most of the finalists are Australian or is it because the finals are being held there?

2dancersmum Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The teachers of the UK students will also probably be known to quite a few members of this forum as they are both RAD examiners as well as teachers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Huge congratulations to Hamish Scott for being awarded a bronze medal. Results here: https://www.rad.org.uk/news/the-genee-2016-medallists 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwel Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Absolutely, a massive achievement even to qualify for the competition let alone get through to finals and then medal. This young man was in BBC young dancer last time round wasn't he and I understand he did very well in the cecchetti competition recently too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadBallerina Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Seems odd that it's in September, hardly gives people returning back to school at the beginning of September a chance?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat09 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Seems odd that it's in September, hardly gives people returning back to school at the beginning of September a chance?! It was the same when it was held in London ... it did seem to disadvantage those from the Western Hemisphere in terms of intensive preparation . My advice if you are considering competing is to get as much performance experience as possible. In certain countries competitions are the norm from an early age and the confidence this gives shines through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildflowers Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 In certain countries competitions are the norm from an early age and the confidence this gives shines through. My dd was fortunate to do the Royal Covent Garden SS last year, when sitting with some of the international students, they were discussing all the different competitions they were entering and were quite incredulous when my dd replied....none! One of the girls did go on to do rather well in the Genee 2016. We also have a couple of names to look out for in future Prix de Lausannes - they were starting their training in anticipation of applying for 2018/19. It was quite an eye opening conversation albeit rather depressing!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this is a big question - why don't UK students get encouraged/trained to enter competitions as a matter of course like International students?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
