sunrise81 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 HI My dc would like to do the autumn intensive. Is the 3 days worth it? We can't afford the 2 week summer course in London! But they want to get a feel for the school. How quickly has anyone heard back from applications as would need to book train and hotel ASAP tok as its half term.

La sylphide Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 We heard on the 4th October last year. My DD enjoyed it but she does say they aren’t as good as YBS in her opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise81 Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 Thanks! That's really late for booking trains etc 😭 She loves YBS but wants to look at ENBS for upper school choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La sylphide Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 it says they will allocate places on a rolling basis for the autumn intensive on the website this year, so it might be worth applying early you could hear sooner that way x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How quickly has anyone heard back from applications as would need to book train and hotel ASAP tok as its half term. I'd recommend booking a hotel now in case you do decide to go - but one you can cancel in case you don't go/change mind/find better rate - as I have found in this area room availability & rates can just change so suddenly so if you find a good price now - secure 'just in case'! It's quite a short course. It got a mid rating from the attendees I know as not that full on & a bit cliquey....we too wanted to use it as a 'test out the school' but TBH I don't really think any short courses ever really do this. At time we booked a few years ago, had expected it to be in the promised 'new shared with ENB company venue' but of course that never happened...will it ever? Remember too though that not many hotels will accept an U18 alone....or are you planning to make it a nice opportunity for a few days in London too? Highly recommend that - ha ha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverdancedjustamum Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 The deadline isn’t until the 29th I believe. We just turned down a place yesterday so I think offers might still go out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise81 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 We had to turn down ours......although she is on half term, I'm not so can't take her. Hoping for no clash with February half term! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanwings Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Thank you @sunrise81 and @Neverdancedjustamum, I applied for dd last week but havent heard anything either way, so I wondered if they'd filled all places now, fingers crossed theres still time then!

Swanwings Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Do you mind me asking how long they took to inform you of decision acceptance/waiting list etc Im wondering whether to email to check they received everything as its been nearly a week.

Ours was about 3 weeks but I sent the application in the middle of summer when staff were on leave. The email did say that they were a little behind because of staff leave and the fact that the Artistic Director and Short Course Coordinator review applications together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanwings Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I couldnt get a clear idea of which method they are using this time (either announcing after deadline or offering on rolling basis), but it seems to suggest we may hear back in a couple of weeks, so fingers crossed!

La sylphide Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 3 hours ago, sunrise81 said: Do you get to watch it in the studio too? Yes they do watching and Q&A sessions usually. There were 2 viewing sessions for the autumn intensive this year on the last day you could book one and the Q&A was after the 2nd session. When we did the spring one there was just the one watching session that everyone went to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise81 Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Has anyone heard anything as its 2 weeks since we applied, and the information said within 2 weeks. Have emailed to see if they received it OK but no reply. Train tickets have just been released and I want the cheap ones 🤣🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballet 2.0 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I think it maybe 2 weeks after the closing date ? As it doesn’t state, early applications are encouraged which it did with the autumn one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medora Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Were you happy with the autumn intensive? Considering applying for spring, we have a few days left to do so… we are hoping for hard work and busy days (if offered a place) 😃 does this sound about right, or how was it?

Swanwings Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 my dd was happy, I believe there was 3-4 classes per day, with a mock audition on the last morning of the final day and a short parents watching in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medora Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Has anyone heard anything yet? We only applied today but keen to hear if some places have already been offered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
