Shellbell12 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Did anyone get through to the scholarship stage that auditioned on February 18th? I know it was the final audition date, and an extra one they added. Trying to convince myself that by then they'd already decided the scholarship audtionees rather than the fact my DD failed....bless her, she was fine about it. I was more upset.

margarite Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 That’s exactly what I was thinking - she hasn’t failed. There are just so many dc going for such a few places. A lucky few get what they want on their first try, others have to keep at it for longer. Last year one of dd’s friends didn’t get past the first round of auditions at Tring, but then got to WL finals and given a Mids place - go figure!

Well done to everyone who got in or on the waiting list!! X You did say earlier that it was your DD's first audition so well done to her for going for a vocational place. As others have said it is not that she failed in any way. There will be hundreds of applications for Tring and only a few are given offers and not all of those will get a scholarship audition. None of us has a crystal ball to know why our DC get offered one thing and not another. The Forum members are many but there will be just as many people out there not on the Forum with experiences of yeses and nos. Everyone has a no at some point, often several in a row but we only hear from those who wish to share this as we do with the yeses. She will have been up against those with and without experience and at this level potential is what they are looking for. She can move on from this with the audition experience under her belt. Ask her teacher(s) for some advice on how to go forward and try again in the future. Edited March 27, 2019 by junedancer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotswoldmum Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Does anyone else have a child on the waiting list for Tring (pre scholarship round)?

Piepie Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hi, not quite on topic but this is the closest thread I could find. My DD is starting sixth form at Tring and the teacher who does the saturday classes there advised that she do her advanced 2 before she goes to Tring. She's only been on the syllabus for a year, if that, and finds it really hard so she doesn't want to do it, and her teacher doesn't want her to do it. Basically she's not ready. Will this disadvantage her at Tring? Will most other people have done their advanced 2 by year 12? I thought she would be better to wait then she could at least be in a class with other kids who are going to do the exam (she's pretty much on her own at her school). It's so expensive to do the exam, and I think you have to get a very good mark or it's not worth your while doing it. Any thoughts? x o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Unless things have changed recently, RAD Vocational exam classes are optional extras held on Saturdays. It is unlikely that many, if any, students will have taken Adv 2. Dancers starting in 6th form will not necessarily have studied the RAD syllabus at all, so if they wished to do so would have to take the exams in order, i.e. Intermediate and Advanced 1, before starting Adv 2. The same happens with Cecchetti syllabus exams (held one evening). So not to worry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piepie Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thank you! I thought it would be odd if they'd all done it by year 12!! Not sure what the reasons are behind it 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
