SissonneDoublee Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 6 minutes ago, Bunny said: I think even if they accept offers from other schools they remain on the waitlist, unless they specifically ask to decline their place on the waitlist, I believe? I could be wrong x We requested to be removed, as we didn’t want the uncertainty, otherwise the waitlist runs until the Easter of the following academic year even for candidates that are training at other vocational schools. If the waitlist were to be exhausted, they would probably aim to recruit in the following audition cycle, but if a MA showed particular promise I guess they might take someone in via that route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Clue Dance Mum Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Our DC got yr7 waitlist. I haven’t seen that any girls have got waitlist on here, only boys. Is that normally the case? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations to your DD 🎉 There isn’t a set number, they only include children that already meet the requirements and they would happily take into White Lodge if a place becomes available. They aren’t trying to balance genders or fill a quota, so there is no way of knowing how many are on the list unless this information is shared with you by RBS. We were surprised and confused, and DD’s lovely JA teacher explained the process to us in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletBoyMum1 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Are any of the year 7 children on here going to the spring intensive next week? My ds is a bit apprehensive after he didn't get a place for September and the older boy he knows through his local dance school is in a different group. Just wondering if there are a few in the same group we could maybe do a zoom call for them (and us!) to say hello before they go next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballerina_girl Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Just a question whilst we await MA results, do children attending elmhurst, tring or other vocational schools still attend associate classes/ are they allowed to? Just wondering how much movement to expect and if DD is lucky enough to make the waitlist how likely she could be to get a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t allowed to attend associates if they go to Elmhurst full time. I think Tring allow their students to do MA’s though xx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not aware of any Tring pupils at Mids but a number have attended SAs in the last few years. There have been a few who are training vocationally attend BalletBoost but not aware of any other associate programmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This waiting game is a nightmare!! I’m thinking if we dont hear today, it will be after Easter now as they won’t be working over the weekend (or do they??)

Ballerina-girl Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I was told by my DDs JA teacher the MA results are based purely on the prelim video and a JA teacher report (if they are a current JA) I’d think results will be out before online auditions, even if there are uk students still waiting to be seen. Hopefully not much longer to wait 🙏🏻🤞🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they do take into account finals though as well as our JA teacher said sometimes they find a physical issue (i guess from physio assessment) which might rule you out from MA....?
