Pointeshoesarethedream Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hello, Has anyone had responses from Moorlands? I emailed an enquiry about summer school auditions a couple of weeks ago and had a lovely response within a couple of hours, so last week we submitted our audition video. I didn’t receive an acknowledgement email and the closing date isn’t until 2nd April but yesterday, at about the same time as her video was viewed (briefly) for the second time, I received an email with a portal registration and once registered and logged in it says my DD as upcoming summer school registration and boarding registration. I’ve emailed them to see if this means she’s been offered a place, but I’m wondering if it’s just generic system generated? I’m also thinking if you guys haven’t heard back yet, I might be in for a bit of a wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArucariaBallerina Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi everyone, I attend moorland full time so if anyone has any questions I’d be happy to message you x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointeshoesarethedream Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Do you think they’ll reply to my clarification email? I really want to tell DD but I daren’t. The application said an email with offer and details of the deposit will be sent. Or perhaps all that will come after the deadline? But that’s a long time to keep this to myself??

WhatsThePointe Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'm despairing at the mo. I messaged them on Facebook after no reply to 2 emails to ballet teacher and 1 to admissions. Facebook replied quickly saying they would pass my message directly to admissions. Still not heard back from them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not heard back from them! I've not heard from the Admissions Manager either. I have however, just spoken with the School Secretary who was very helpful & will be giving him a nudge.

Farawaydancer Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I’ve emailed them a couple of times with general enquiries and never had a reply, which is why we’ve never applied there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flower Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi Everyone. Did anyone ever get a definitive answer about the bursary auditions for level 2 entry? Are they in person or are they just reviewing videos? thanks x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flower Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hi everyone. I’ve just spoken to the secretary at Moorland and the bursary auditions on April 2nd are NOT in person. They will JUST be reviewing the videos we sent in at the beginning of the process. Hope that helps x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingsantosisters Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Well done to everyone offered a place at Moorland Summer School. My DD is currently an associate there and loves it. She is hoping to move to level 1 in September so we're patiently waiting for the email 🤣. Yeah you all know how we do that patiently thing xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointeshoesarethedream Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Oh that’s fab. Good luck to your DD. We’re considering applying for level one, but it’s a scary thought. Do you know much about the timetable for this level? How much ballet do they do and is it mixed into the school day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not applied for a vocational place sorry just level 1 associate's. It's 2.5 hours of a Saturday during term time. They do body conditioning, technique and also character/drama during that time. Typically 5 weeks on 3 weeks off xx Edited March 25, 2021 by Dancingsantosisters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was literally at a loss this time last year as it was the first time she'd auditioned for anything or a place. She auditioned for RBS and Elmhurst as well as moorland last year but wasn't successful other than Moorland. This year she's said she only wants to apply for Moorland because she loves it. God help me if she doesn't get a place 😭 xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God help me if she doesn't get a place 😭 xx Aww surely she will if she’s happy and thriving there? I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. I thought we’d got through audition season this time round as we were only waiting for summer schools but then Facebook decided to notify me that applications are still open for Moorland so are now considering it, it sounded exciting when I first thought about it but the reality of it is terrifying. I doubt we’d be able to afford it and DD thinks she is absolutely ready to leave home in 5 months 😂! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mine isn't quite ready to board and that's what would be required if she applied for summer school there its over an hour drive each way for us. A week is a long time when they've not stayed away from home for any length of time. I'm sure you'll make the right decision. Miss Kidd is wonderful and I've heard her on zoom classes with the kids she so lovely. You can hear the caring tone in her voice. I hope you're right about a place for my DD xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD is boarding for the summer school, we’re 80 miles away, it’s also her first time staying away from home so it will be a good test for her as she’s really keen to audition for vocational schools next year, which we’re slowly preparing for. This year not so much though 😁. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
