SissonneDoublee Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 1 hour ago, PurplePirouette said: Yes, although they usually give themselves longer than it takes, for example they say for the “real life” auditions that you can expect to hear by the end of June/early July but last year all of the results had been received by 21st June and some as early as 9th I think it was. London will be the largest individual location, although I’d have thought all of year 6 would have been more? I think the hardest part is that there will be so many strong candidates for London that they may want to offer the second choice centre to, but without having seen the other groups they won’t get know what the standard is across the board so it would be difficult to do that until having seen all of the groups. Perhaps we will still be sitting here waiting in November🤣 If they move you to a different centre it seems to be done via SWL, then a phonecall coming through very quickly (days later) offering the alternative centre. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletbuds80 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 On the email notifying us it was to be a video audition, I interpreted that as it was our first choice centres only and they weren’t even going to look at second choice as it says our centre choices can’t be changed. Has anyone else thought the same? Because of the sheer volume of videos we will therefore have to assess, we are going to break the process down based on your first choice centre. Your centre choices can no longer be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the website earlier thinking that sounded good and wondering whether to go with that one or the Rad London one. (Sorry off topic!) Good luck to everyone waiting for results 🤞🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to everyone waiting for results 🤞🤞 It's this one on 15th-19th (lots of different types of dance): https://www.tringpark.com/associated-courses/summer-dance-course-2-2020 We're also looking at her auditioning for Paris (POB) summer school as we have friends there we could stay with - but not holding out much hope - I think is as hard as RBS to get into! Maybe RAD earlier on in the summer as an alternative - she was down to do that this year. My daughter was supposed to be doing EYB Swan Lake this summer but it got postponed to next July - so there will be lots on if hopefully it all goes ahead! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the info, I only just discovered EYB but it looks like there will be no auditions for a long time as they are doing all the postponed classes this year. Fingers crossed this all goes ahead with all these new lockdowns. My DD started back at Elmhurst last week after 6 months break. I think I will book Tring, it sounds great to try all the different styles of dance. I see they have the two dates for the same course and also one in Easter. Paris sounds amazing!

SarahG1881 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi. We’re group 4 so no info yet but is a lot of space needed for the improv section or are they to do it on knees/on the spot? thinking ahead for the best place to film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missdancemum Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 We’re group 2 and submitted videos nearly 2 weeks ago. I can see our videos were watched shortly after submission but not heard anything yet. I was also under the impression this year was going by 1st choice centre, but could have picked that up wrong! Hope everyone hears soon & don’t have too much longer to wait. 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalletBoysDad Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I was randomly thinking today, especially for group 4 children (like my DS) who haven’t even had the audition link yet, that regardless wether if it’s a ‘no/not yet/SWL’, by the time we receive the results, it will almost be Christmas and then the whole audition process starts again in the 2021 spring term. I imagine Y6 applications will probably open in February and close in March which feels oddly not that long away! Talk about time flying by.....

Balletbuds80 Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Interesting to learn some Group 2’s are being viewed a second time when not all Group 2’s have been viewed a first time? Do you think it would be worth emailing closer to our deadline if still no views? I am worried in case our links have not worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand from the year 6 chat that if the RBS couldn’t access a video they were contacting parents directly to resolve the issue. The auditions team were lovely when I emailed them to ask when we might hear the results, so I’m sure it would be fine for you to email to check. If anyone else wants to ask them again about group 1 results then do let me know what they say! I submitted my daughter’s videos a few days before the closing date but they weren’t viewed until a few days after, Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
