I think there was 24 boys at the audition wasn’t there? So If it’s the same for the girls then that would make 72? Then there’s the ones that can’t be there in person and the international students. I wonder though how many international students there are at this age 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder though how many international students there are at this age 🤔 Yes I had heard they’ve taken more than usual this year maybe because it was a video audition, so they felt they needed to see more in person, if so it’s everybody’s gain as the experience of getting to dance at White Lodge is a very special one. Yes I wondered about international students also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalletBoyMumma Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Yes! I could be wrong but I think there are a lot more MA places for girls than boys too. They said looking at taking 12 boys and 12 girls in the Zoom meeting we had but can take more as they do have space to. I have read (on here) in previous years those extras can go to Summer intensive students they have their eye on (I think that’s why there’s a box to tick ‘would like to to be considered for full-time training’ on the application forms, though that may have just been Spring).

PetitJeté Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Just with regard to MA places, there are very few, our JA teacher (London) told us that there may be only 5 places available for year 7 girls, as apparently it’s a class of year 7 and 8, so it depends on the balance and who moves up to make space. I was shocked it was so few! Almost harder to get into than WL! (sort of!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a big drop from JA numbers, and of course not all centres run MAs, so that narrows the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
