Gemma Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I just got so confused! I’m sure they will work out by her year and dob it’s the same child who applied for spring and summer. Sort of wondering if it’s a waste of time applying for summer with same photos we got waitlist for spring with though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froufrou72 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hi all, has anyone been offered a waitlist place or know if they are likely? It’s our first time even trying so pleased to get waitlist and but my 14yo’s ballet teacher has booked an inter ballet exam that weekend so trying to work things out with likelihood - reading these comments very unlikely from wait list I think?

froufrou72 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 How exciting!! Congrats, must be so much excitement your end!! Will be a fun week. Hope you don't mind me asking , as seems a few of you have done this before with intensives, is there any information apart from physically speaking and the photos / poses that we told them on the application which could impact on their decision or is that the eternal RBS we will never know why or how question? . I think I only put a yes or no to the "do you want to be considered for vocational training" and gave the number of hours she dances each week (can't remember if it was specific to ballet) so it just got me wondering.... in your experience is there benefit to applying more than once if making wait list first time round? Finally, just out of interest how many h ours of ballet / dance do your lovely dancers do each week? We do about 14 hours a week in total but only 6 of ballet, too little ? She's 14 Great to hear of the movement on the wait list , so intriguing to think how they decide! Probably just because it's our first time x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is the first time we’ve applied for any intensives and my daughter has just turned 13. She got waitlist for rbs and Yorkshire seminars and then got offered the two sessions at rbs last week. She does around 12 hours of dance a week and 5 hours of ballet x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froufrou72 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 She must be super happy that’s brilliant. I guess we will never know how it works behind the scenes ! I can’t remember we even if they asked for grades so just be heavily based on photos but thankyou for responding it sound like we’re doing similar amounts of dance. Have a wonderful time xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DD is full time at vocational school, dances 21+ hours a week and this is her ninth application for a RBS course (including associates and FT) and her first waitlist!

froufrou72 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thanks for your response, and congrats on first wait list, fingers crossed for you, sounds like she's well positioned to do well either way. I think we may do one more time, for next spring this time with teacher taking photos instead of me lol, I'm half wondering if the fact I said she didn't want to be considered for vocational may have impacted but honestly I'm such an over thinker lol - bound to be me who's done the form wrong lol.

We def put no to vocational so don’t beat yourself up about that! I’m sure it didn’t affect it xxxx us dance mums try so hard but so much is out of our control. I would def keep trying xxxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMP Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 HI and congratulations to those offered places from wait list - so exciting and after a long wait! I had actually forgotten until I read this that my DD is on the wait list for Spring! Please could anyone tell me which age group the wait list offers are for ? My DD is 15 - 16 and I think there was some different advice about whether this age group could apply in any case so I wasn't expecting to hear again. But even so would be nice to know if there is some hope! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
