TwoLeftFeet Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If you don't mind me asking, for those of you who got places and those on the waiting list, what level/grade ballet are your children or people you know of? I'm thinking of putting in a last minute application for my DD but I'm not sure what level they are looking for. If you'd rather PM, please do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletmummy28 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 We got a place on the summer course last year after being on the wait list. As someone said it depends how far up the list you are so it’s always possible! It’s a yes for us for spring course 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd rather PM, please do DD had a "no" so not sure if this helps, but she is 14 and is hoping to take RAD Grade 6 and Intermediate next term. She's also an Associate (but never at RBS) and attended ENBS Summer School last year. Edited November 8, 2018 by MAK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get a timetable closer to the time? Not sure about Hong Kong but the classes at White Lodge Spring and Summer are quite large, around 28 girls. Boys taught separately. There is usually a half day settling in and the timetable is pinned to the noticeboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMoo2 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Out of interest, how many of you put residential and how many not? DS would be 11 next summer and would prefer it if I stayed down there with him and took him each morning but I don’t want him to miss out on the social side? Wait and see I guess! 😄 Don’t envy them having to choose the participants! xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coniger Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 MrsMoo - my ds loved the classes but also really enjoyed the residential side and made some great friends. He really enjoyed the evenings and they had a disco etc and part of the experience for him was “sleeping over.” That being said if your ds doesn’t want to board than that’s great too and he will have an amazing experience!

PrancingMum Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 A Facebook or Instagram post from someone in either Australia or New Zealand - saw it last week and now can't find it - announced their place at the RBS Spring Intensive in London. It said that there were over 10,000 auditioning for places. Surely this is incorrect and that applications can't have jumped from around 2,000 a year and is it not just photographs? This reminds me of the thread a while back about over-egging competition/festival results. It made me look at the annual reports and while the first report that will give data on spring applications has yet to be published it was interesting to look at the number of applicants for the previous summer intensives from overseas. It is not surprising that they accept so many from overseas when they receive such a high proportion of applications from outwith the UK. Well done to all those who have spring offers and good luck to those waiting for summer places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it too and think it was from a students dance school when they announced their student had a placement. if approx 2000 apply I think 278 got places between WL and HK last year so still very difficult to get a place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2073 applications were for the summer school in 2017 (British 768 EU 754 Rest of the World 551) which was the first year they extended the summer school to fours weeks. It said there were the highest number of dancers from 36 countries but I could see how many actually attended. For the 2016 two week summer school there were 1716 applications (British 488 EU 696 Rest of the World 532) out of which 314 students from 61 countries were offered places. It is difficult to compare data from one year to the next as the RBS Annual Reports do not seem to be presented in the same format. Data on the 2018 spring and summer courses will be in the 2017/18 Annual Report. Yes whatever way you look at it places are few and far between.

junedancer Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 For all those hoping to hear back about the Summer Intensive before Christmas it looks like the wait will be into 2019.

junedancer Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 This year's deadline is two months earlier than in previous years so maybe they haven't received as many applications as expected. At £32 an application I am sure they have a budget projection for this, or am I being cynical? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for those waiting. In previous years the whole process was later and the wait longer so looks like they are at least getting better organised under the new head for intensives.
