lt070809 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hey everyone! I did my Tring Park audition last week, and I believe it went so well. I had so much fun and I think I really danced from my heart. I am very aware they have many more auditions still, but I was wondering if anyone who’s auditioned before could tell me who long the wait typically is. As well as, if it’s a good sign if they email early/late if you know what I mean. Thank you!! It’s the Sixth Form by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardings3 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Has anyone who’s been offered a place able to give any advice please. My daughter has been offered a place for September to go into year 8. I’m so torn what to do. And we don’t know anybody that has been this young to ask. It’s also crazy expensive so a bit of me is wondering did she get offered because she paying or is it hard to get a place even at that age? Any idea much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter was offered a place year 7 which we didn’t end up taking as wasn’t right at the time. She auditioned again year 9 and got a place. We know plenty of people who’ve had ‘no’s’ so she absolutely didn’t get a place because she might pay - all the dancers are a great standard so don’t take away from the achievement of the offer. You also need to remember that they can’t offer to more people than they have room for as (though unlikely) what if everyone said yes?! Year 8 isn’t a main year entry either so even less spaces than say the year 7 intake. you need to do what’s right for you and your family but congrats for the offer and if she doesn’t take it this time then she’s clearly on the right track and if it’s right for her in one or two or more years time she’ll have offers then Edited February 8 by Macy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTMUM Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 My son goes to Tring. The school is amazing and they really go out of their way for the kids. He got a scholarship and we wouldn't have been able to go without it. He's on the PF course. The best decision we ever made. He started in year 9.

There were only a couple I know of got funding in that year group the rest of us were fee paying. Yes, it’s expensive. What I didn’t take into account was the cost of every Exeat as we are quite a distance - travel and accommodation every three weeks in addition to fees, billings and Edmunds for the uniform - Never paid so much for a school blazer in my life. Cost aside, well done to her. Not many spots in Year 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardings3 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 More costs 😩😩 I’m amazed anyway is happy paying it 🤣 the things we do for our kids!! Is your child happy though? Is it living up to the expectations? X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletMummy123 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Does anyone know if you need a scholarship funding is it better to do a ballet routine for your audition solo rather than say a jazz or lyrical routine? X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Foo Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I don’t think it matters but as they’ve seen you in the ballet class already, it’s quite nice to show versatility and adaptability by offering another style especially contemporary/jazz/ lyrical. Tring is very strong classically but also produces very versatile dancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballerinaswan Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 @lt070809 So pleased to hear your audition went well! I hope you hear your results soon - and fingers crossed for you! If you don’t mind me asking, how difficult was the pointe work that you had to show in the audition? Did you have to do any pirouettes on pointe? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
