dancing10 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 the present associates havnt heard if they have a place for another year yet so do they get told first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyshoes Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 oh really...i dont know how the system works as im new to this..but surely the exisiting associates would be told first..looks like we wont get a letter after all this week then..

swe Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I could be mistaken but I think everyone is told at the same time? The RBS 'start from scratch' with their associate programme so even if you have had a place before, you audition with new candidates and the results are sent together... Let me know if I've got that wrong, someone!! swe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing10 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 my dd friend is a mid associate at present, they didnt audition, just had an assessment at the end of term to see if they would get a place in september Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swe Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Oh-not sure then-my dd's friend who was an MA last year had an audition with my dd (who is not an associate) for an SA place-may be that's because she was going from MAs to SAs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyshoes Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 so tempted to phone them and ask when the letters are being sent..because if its not for another week or so at least my mind can have a rest !! lol..lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybeans Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 When changing from JA to MA and MA to SA you addition with and hear at the same time as everyone else. Existing JAs are, or t lest were u til recently, assessed in class and told if they have a place for another year. Existing MAs have an assessment later in the year and are told then. I think this year they are in May and outsiders will hear before then! I presume if someone is assessed out then a place may be offered off the waiting list.

Â Thanks jellybeans-on that basis if you are auditioning for 2nd year SA, there aren't 'officially' any places as the current SAs haven't had their assessment. So are we really auditioning for a waiting list? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swe Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Stay positive dancing10- 2 years ago my dd auditioned for MAs at RBS; on the very same day she received a 'no' she got a 'yes' from Northern Ballet associates! If she doesn't get a 'yes' for SAs this year (and it's highly unlikely she will) I am hoping she will focus on the summer school fun. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumtobeth Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks, it's just so competitive to get in and hard knocks for the girls to take. You just want to protect them because they are still young. Â Good luck to all for your letters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisadebs Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well done to all those with a yes, fantastic news! Fingers crossed for anybody on the waiting list - very frustrating when it means yet more waiting...

Frangapani Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well, I have an absolutely devastated DD - she got a "no" so her time at RBS associates comes to an end. She is usually very brave about "no" letters but she has made some very good friends at MAs. I am really upset for once as we are having such a bad time with life in general that this is just yet another knock Well done to all with a "yes" F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frangapani Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 are the senior letters out does anyone know? yes - sadly in our case they are F x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingmom Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sorry Frangapani I accidentally liked your quote. I really feel for your dd it is tough to get a no whatever age you are, but more so when you have danced with the same girls for a long time and made good friendships. I wish your dd all the best for the future x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
