BarbaraH Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'm really hoping for tomorrow or the day after. Just received another (commercial) email of the royal balletschool. Everytime I see an email, my heart stops. So not good for my health. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballerinamom Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Pins and needles!!!! Killing me! Plus we need to make decisions, so really hoping this comes in tomorrow! (Although if it isn’t a “yes” will have to wait to share with dd until Thursday. Wouldn’t want to ruin Valentine’s Day.) Merde! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the last time we apply for summer intensive though as it just means she is not what they are looking for and i am not going to do it to myself or let her have another rejection. wishing you all the best of luck. Have you tried applying for the Easter intensive? UK dancers seem to have much more luck receiving a place at that one in comparison to summer. Summer seems to be used more for international students x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we selected non-residential for the Spring, do you think that lower your chances? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnielovesalbert Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 We are waitlisted too for spring and chose non res hoping this would increase our chances but it has not. It does sound like they are just choosing based on pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unutus Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Interesting! I read somewhere in this forum that a couple of places were offered from the waiting list for Spring, both residential apparently. Best of luck for everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceMadDanceMum Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 They are really making us sweat it out aren’t they 🙄… it shouldn’t be long now though, surely we’ll know by the end of the week (even though ‘by’ mid February would be Thursday afternoon, splitting hairs now lol🤞🤞🤞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DD only decided she wanted to apply for summer at Christmas, so we applied on 2nd January. This is after making white lodge finals and still getting a waitlist place for summer. She didnt want to try again but then changed her mind and it was too late. She has had great experiences at other intensives so all is not lost but it would be nice for her experience dancing there at least once in her lifetime. But i dont think I will waste another £36 applying for Summer if its another waitlist place or even a no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLH Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The summer camp my son wanted to attend with a friend has reach capacity. He is going to be very annoyed if he realizes I didn't book it because I was waiting on RBS results for his sister before finalizing our summer plans! Hopefully tomorrow we will be put our of our misery and can finalize plans and find a different summer camp. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceMadDanceMum Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Not sure how much more I can take of this lol, does anyone know if it is as difficult to get onto the Yorkshire Ballet Summer Seminars? They ask for the grade you got in your last exam, does that mean they take that into consideration as well as the photos? Am new to all this so not sure how it all works. I just sent off pics to the RBS and the YBSS willy nilly, didn’t put much thought into it but now I’m realising that they are both very sought after. Maybe I should have just gone for the non selective summer schools and saved myself the stress…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should have just gone for the non selective summer schools and saved myself the stress…. They probably ask which grade so they can determine which level you are. I suppose more seriously trained ballet students are a certain level by a certain age on the whole. I think they do just look at photos but I also think they see where you train (I’m sure vocationally trained children have a better chance. I’m thinking for YBSS). As to photos sent in without much thought, I wouldn’t be worried about that. They can see what a child is like, they don’t need professional photos etc. Good luck to your child, I hope they get one of them. And if they don’t please don’t take it as a slight on them, there’s plenty of successful dancers out there who didn’t get the selective summer intensives they wanted! (It just doesn’t mean anything and it’s not a leg up to success if you go to one of these more sought after intensives.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used the pictures for ybs spring also for rbs summer. So I'll hopefully be able to tell you soon. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuliprose Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Dd got w/l last couple of years for spring and summer, so not holding any hope this year tbh. She is the one who wants to keep trying, so we support her. Shes done YBS and Elmhurst and some other selective ones but she has always really wanted to do rbs, if only once. The results were on a Thursday last year I think, so maybe today. Good luck everyone 🩷 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be a change this time. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagio123 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I dont think today is the day 😂 Would prefer it if we werent expecting it on a certain day (4 weeks after deadline/mid Feb) and they just surprised us 🤗 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnielovesalbert Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 hold on, still a few more hours to go... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraH Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Also still hoping for today. I would give them another 1.5 hours. Totally going crazy here. "By mid-February" is by today at latest for me. (Or maybe my English is not good enough to understand subtle differences.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnielovesalbert Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Playing devil's advocate, I always think of the 15th as mid-month. Even is feb is not a full month per se. Anyway, all of that to probably get a no anyway. It sounds like they want internationals, not uk so not great for us. We are London based. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
