Tulip Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 She got a select priority waiting list? But yes she is going to Prague, however she says because she is still only 16 if she was offered a place at the Royal she would go to that one. I thinke it is because she is nervous to fly alone.

Lildancer96 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 How lovely that she has Prague if Royal doesn't happen though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I can understand her being nervous about travelling on her own. The list of teachers for Prague looks fabulous and it's such a beautiful city (I know I'm starting to sound like a stuck record on that one!)

primrose Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 My dd has given up her place for the RBS summer school so that should free up a place for somebody on the waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 We have still not heard a dicky bird, so we will be booking our flights to Prague. I would have thought that we would all have received some acknowledgement by now though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 We received a letter on Friday asking us if we wanted to stay on the waiting list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 We haven't had a letter yet so perhaps we will get the same letter as yours on Monday, mind you we are looking at flight prices to Prague this morning so we may well book by the end of today. Any one had any luck for upper school from the waiting list yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasdebourree15 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I had a letter a few days ago reconfirming that i want to stay on the waiting list, though there are currently no spots available? (for upper school WL) if thats any help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Prague flight tickets booked for our daughter, she is so excited. Couldn't wait for the royal any longer. Did anyone read the letter that all places had been accepted, presuming that no places were offered from their select priority waiting list? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lildancer96 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Sure she will enjoy Prague just as much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afab Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Did anyone read the letter that all places had been accepted, presuming that no places were offered from their select priority waiting list? Yes that's what ours said and I did talk to RBS and they confirmed it and said that news now would be if someone had a last minute problem... We decided not to stay on the waiting list either...

afab Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 As a comparison, apparently 450 applications for 130 places for POB SS... More difficult to get into RBS SS than POB SS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas de chat Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 We went to a great audition insight day at RBS CG on Wednesday (DD injured so could only really do tendus and port de bras) and they sent me an email and it said that SS forms will be on the website in December and all applications to be in by February 28th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 pas de chat - did they tell you the dates for next year's summer school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hello pas de chat ! I wondered if anyone else had attended the RBS day - my DS really enjoyed it and found it helpful . Did you watch the class ? I did not , but a friend said there was a mixed range of age and ability . hope your DD soon recovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi'smom Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Can I just ask parents of children at vocational school what they do about photos for summer schools? Previously we have had our dance teacher take them in the studio but would feel a bit cheeky asking her now that DD has been left for over a year. Is it disadvantageous to submit photos taken in the home environment? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramascientist Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 We have just done ours in the lounge at home. As long as you have a blank wall and enough light, with a decent camera they seem to be acceptable. Certainly my DD has been invited to audition on the strength of them so they must be okay.

Did you watch the class ? I did not , but a friend said there was a mixed range of age and ability . hope your DD soon recovers There was a little boy there who I thought stood out. The ability was very mixed and children were mainly from year 7/8 and a few from year 6. The much older girls did stand out but there were one or two others that i thought had potential. The sizes were all very different some very tiny girls, some taller but slighter girls and a few what i would class as normal build like my DD. They said they are looking for children who have a passion to dance and from what I could gather flexibility seemed very important. DD was injured so she was just cheesed off doing port de bras at the bar. Tania Fairbairn took the class - she is soo lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a morning and afternoon class as the lady talking about finance apologised to those whom she would have given the same speech too earlier - also there was just one older boy in the class. The class was also of mixed age and ability, DD was pleased to not be the tallest there. They all went through various exercises with harder versions for the older ones, but it was very much stressed that they are not looking to 'trick' anyone but are mainly looking for potential, someone that would benefit from their training scheme - also looking for musicality, artistry, physique and passion for dance.
