SplitSoul Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Waitlist here. We are uk and got Spring straight off. My daughter will be so upset. Anyone got any tips on how to break bad news? I haven't done very well at this in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only selected 1 option in terms of dates, I wonder if that didn’t help (daughter currently in year 9, and fewer dates for that age it seems). It does rather leave you in limbo. Would be interested to know if anyone has insight on likelihood of getting a place off the waitlist. My Dd got a place from the waitlist. The email came through 1st week of June. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby Foo Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 13 minutes ago, minnielovesalbert said: Is there a pattern here of uk getting waitlisted and internationals offered first? Just wondering... From experience ( 3x summer intensive) 95% ( approx guess) of Summer intensive are international students - many are first timers. My Dd had only 5 or 6 English speaking students to mix with, of which several were at RBS already. My opinion ( I have no inside knowledge) is that it’s a chance for the school to see worldwide talent they haven’t seen already ( through the uk associate schemes). Internationals tend to want summer courses because of the academic requirements / term times internationally and, I guess, they make a summer of visiting UK. Internationals don’t seem to be so omnipresent at Eastertime. My opinion only - that at the higher levels 13+, the international students are at a very high standard indeed especially where pointework is concerned. My Dd struggled having just passed inter- foundation. Her fellow students from S.Korea and Japan were easily Adv 2 standard and looked like mini professionals. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter a jot because everyone takes their own time to develop and gain the strength needed and meantime, there are loads of other great opportunities out there which my Dd enjoyed just as much, if not more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiaBallerina Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 We are from France and got waitlisted. Our photos were not professional but taken by her ballet teacher. We chose two options also, for the weeks… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balletmamacita Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 We are in the US and my daughter was waitlisted for Upper School (1st time). I may be wrong but I sense most of the folks posting on this thread may be talking about White Lodge. Curious if anyone has experience with the Upper School WL? Know of kids who got off the waitlist? Timing of that? Any information that can provide insight into the process would be greatly appreciated as we weigh how to play the waiting game. Thanks!

DanceMadDanceMum Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Wait list for my daughter too, we are in Italy (British but living in Italy).. not holding any hope for this so just praying she gets in on the YBS.

My daughter was waitlisted for the last two years, last year for the upper school intensive. She didn’t get offered a place from the waitlist. However, I have heard of others getting places later on. We didn’t apply this year for financial reasons. edited to add: she did however get a place from the waitlist for the spring intensive in 2022, often places become available after the payment deadline has passed. Good luck everyone 🤞🏻 Edited February 15 by margarite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a very British week for our daughter when she was 10, maybe they take more UK dancers in the younger years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
