JaneDance1904 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Has anyone NOT been offered a funding audition for Tring? Just trying to work out why we were offered a place for son but no funding audition? Is it because DC was not good considered good enough or because our finances are low so maybe we would not be able to contribute enough towards fees? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that they ask the most suitable for classical ballet students for the funding audition. There’s such a small amount of funding available it doesn’t mean your son isn’t good enough and they won’t know about your finances yet, so that shouldn’t matter. well done on your son receiving an offer at Tring, that’s a great achievement although frustrating with out funding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagio123 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Good luck to everyone attending finals this week! Has anyone on here travelled by public transport to White Lodge finals? How easy are taxi’s there and back? On a previous thread (maybe last year or the year before) there was mention of a shuttle bus.

In terms of getting there there is a taxi rank straight across from Richmond station - theres usually plenty available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllAboutTheJourney Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 There is a lot of back and forth - yes! Bear in mind that it can take a little while for a taxi to make its way out to WL after reception call it for you - you might have to wait 15/20 mins for it to arrive. If you know anyone else who is going then another parent might give you a lift back out to Richmond - we found people were extremely helpful in that respect. It's also a lovely walk if it's a nice day and you've got time to kill anyway - about 40 mins to Richmond or less to Sheen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just received an email and the plans have changed and will now be all on 1 day due to the Elmhurst auditions. So i will be able to drop my DD off and leave for most of the day and return for pick up so not as much back and forth now 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura_ballet Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I will possibly be in this situation this time next year, awaiting results!

Laura_ballet Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Do the results come out same time? Do the schools have a strategy for gaps in results? Edited March 11, 2023 by Thelittleswans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachH Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Elmhurst said not to expect any results until after 21st March as that is when their meeting is to discuss places. So I think they’ll all be out at about the same time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your son is ‘good enough’ otherwise he would not have been offered a place at Tring which is wonderful achievement. Tring invite young dancers the chance to compete again for an award of an MDS/scholarship to those they deem as the most ‘gifted and talented’ selected from the finals. (Their classification not mine.) Other schools offer MDS/scholarships at their the final auditions. Your income being low is not relevant to how an MDS works; the government set the sliding scale according to incomes and your contribution is dependent on this. Tring do have some bursaries available so it is worth contacting them to ask if they can offer any financial assistance.

We have waiting list so trying to see what the chances of being some movement. Happy for you to message if you prefer. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
