Foreverdrivingtodance Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 London. The HK one they delayed to next year I think but we’re honoring places. Hope we get application fee back too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellar Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 White Lodge or Upper School? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margarite Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Such a shame, but inevitable in the circumstances. I feel so sad for all the DCs who must have been looking forward to this so much xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara Eschler Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I feared it would be. Hard to take in the News and having to tell DS later 😭. Their communication has been exemplary and they took action immediately from February asking people to self-isolate. I am even more in awe of this school and feel sad we might not get another chance to attend. Hope Summer is still on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 My DS Is doing to be so upset, especially as summer is probably hanging in the balance too. I wonder if the JA auditions will go ahead, as that would be another blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It would have been a great chance as a non-JA to be considered for the lower school too. But got to keep all of it in perspective of course 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I really hope they don't cancel JA auditions, my DD has been looking forward to them for 2 years since her teacher told her she should do them! I wonder if they would consider other selection methods rather than group auditions e.g. video? It's harder in younger ones though as I think a lot of the selection process is seeing how they respond to what they are asked to do, rather than looking at technical ability.

Rocco Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 That would be a good compromise Millicent. I think so much of it is about physique at this stage that video/ photos could suffice if it absolutely came to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdageKitty Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hope they can do an Autumn intensive during the half term for all those that has yeses for the Spring Intensive. So sorry for all those who were looking forward to it in April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine they would do this. Hopefully it will all be back to some sort of normal by May, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletbean Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 If the cancellation is related to current events concerning health, then it’s Interesting to know that MoveIt is taking place this weekend after receiving advice from the UK Gov and given the go-ahead.

Rocco Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 You’re right Sissone. But maybe photos could at least whittle the numbers down? They look at thousands of those for intensives! Either way let’s hope it never comes to it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they had students from across the globe attending the spring intensive and they will be sharing bedrooms and all facilities. They also will be needing to protect their international students who may be going to guardians over the Easter holiday and then returning to school. Will be difficult for them if school is closed due to staff shortages due to illness or quarantine. When Dd has been involved at Move It impression was most UK based attendees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice RBS promoting JA auditions on their insta page today so looks like they’re going ahead for the moment. Fingers crossed anyway as my DD would be so sad not to have a go.

Princess dreams Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Such a shame, but completely understand their reasoning. Is the summer intensive cancelled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
