sunrise81 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Just wondering if anyone has attended Moorland summer school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponklemum Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'm hoping to book mine on to Tutugirls summer school this year. However if the dates don't suit I'm going to look at Moorland and Malvern summer schools and hopefully choose one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMabbutt Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Does anyone know if OPES is running this year? I haven't able to find anything but I was sure we had applied by now for the previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they were rebranding (cant remember name) but did mention they would be doing a summer school as some of the students had been to it previously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisiblecircus Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 On 18/01/2019 at 21:04, ImgyA said: Yes, I know that our school would authorise the absence, I just don't see why a summer school should be during term time! I always thought that they were for the holidays. Seems odd to me. I don't think my daughter should have to sacrifice the last 2 weeks of the school year to attend a summer course. Anyway, we didn't apply for this reason - I was just curious as to whether there was an actual reason! ❤️ I don't know, but it might be because private schools finish school for the summer earleir than state schools and the school wants to run the summer school right after they break up for the summer for practical and staffing reasons. It's defintely a shame that this impacts those attending state schools though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMabbutt Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Thanks for the update on OPES everyone. DD will miss it as she's attended for several years but unfortunately we won't be able to make the dates for either of the alternative schemes this year. We had planned around the dates in previous years so are already busy for these weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance*is*life Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) I wanted to add that YBSS are adding a third week. Anyone doing two weeks can choose either weeks one and two or weeks two and three - I asked! The problem is that that means that week two is going to be full and I have a student who has applied for just that week 🙁. I really hope that she will be accepted - it's a wonderful course and the standard is very high. The evening masterclasses are fantastic! I have watched for the last couple of years and hope to visit again this coming summer. Edited January 28, 2019 by Dance*is*life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megaly Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Hello everyone, I received results today for the Paris Opera Summer School. My 14 yr old dd is in a waiting list just like the Royal ballet. What do you suggest me to do? Shall I try other intensives or wait? I would like it to be in Europe, any suggestions?

BalletBear Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi! Does anyone know what size the photos have to be for the Elmhurst Senior Summer School application form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitJeté Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi, can anyone advise if children have to audition for the RB summer school? My daughter was too young for this year, but we can apply next year. She’s a JA (year 4) if that makes any difference. I can only see information on their website about applications, nothing about auditions. I did the RB summer school when I was 10, and we had to audition back then!

BalletBear Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hi, I am just double checking something before I send the application off. I’m applying for the Elmhurst Senior Summer School but I can’t see anything about an application fee so I’m assuming there isn’t one. Is that correct? Also, I will only have chance to post it on Monday, the 4th, (I live about 2-3 hours from Birmingham), if I post it 1st Class they should receive it by Friday the 8th shouldn’t they? Thank you for any help 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Post it in a POst Office or (PO section within a shop) & ask for a proof of posting.... they’ll print off a slip so you will have that reassurance that you can prove it was posted in good time (& well in advance of the early bird rate 😉) First Class Royal Mail should get there the next day if posted before last collection....ever the optimist me!! Do make sure you check size & weight to get correct postage as from what I remember from posting in previous years it’s a largish set of docs which possibly weigh more than the standard large letter stamp rate so do go into a PO to buy correct first class postage rate & not get caught out! DD did Junior SS twice (or 3 times??? Lose track...) & enjoyed it. Goid luck to your DC! Not ever applied for Senior course as timings not good for family but be interested to hear of people’s expetience... Just an aside....do wish the prestigious schools that hold older age SS chose by holding auditions or asked for videos to apply for places as I think photo & form only applications are less than ideal for all concerned....

Thank you so much! I’ll go in on Monday and do what you said. My mum has bought a hard-backed envelope (I think that’s what it is?!) to keep the photos straight so they can weigh that. Is it ok if I’ve folded the forms in half? I’ve also done an NYB audition but I’m not expecting anything so I may do OPES again. I’m glad your DD had fun!

Peanut68 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Don’t recall ever paying a fee the years DD went....think there was a deposit required to secure place once offered with balance of fees due closer to summer. I looked at website just now & can’t see that there is a fee at all for SS (think there is only a fee to apply for the actual school full time courses) 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletBear Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Ok thank you. I’ve looked everywhere too and I couldn’t see one, just because RBS and NYB had fees I was just cautious. I hope your DD has a good summer xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
