Guesty Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 If they are not on a MDS already from lower school and they have a place for lower sixth then yes, they are part of the DADA auditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just remind me: Â They can accept a DaDA & keep doing auditions & accept other ones? Â & then in May the DaDA people say "Make up your mind" Â Is that right?? Â & no registration fees or holding fees if you can only go with the DaDA Â Â My mind is whirrling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Katymac - on 11th Feb I posted on the DaDA application thread the info we were sent regarding the process last year. It was sent to me as a flow chart but I was unable to copy it as such so have just numbered the stages. But yes you can keep auditioning and collecting DaDA offers until the audition season finishes. The info is collated nationally on who holds what offers where and then a decision needs to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks Jane - I thought so, but I only went back 2 pages & couldn't find the thread (it's on page 4 http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/8853-dada-application/)& when I searched I got so many responses I got confused  My brain isn't big enough for everything I do.....I used to have a memory but I replaced it with a forgettory which is much more efficient than my memory ever was 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I don't know why the info isn't on the DaDA website. I think the bursar got so fed up with me asking questions about the process she sent me a copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Has anyone been sent the details of the RBS Upper School final on the 15th. Â We have heard nothing yet and it is only just over a week away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailarin Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 No Haggis, not heard anything.  Still need to book our travel home which is going to cost a fortune if they leave it much later to let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailarin Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Email has just come through!  So... if you don't get a "recall" at the end of the finals does that mean it's a no?  Or does that mean they just might want to see odd ones again if they weren't sure?  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circe Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Re: the Tring funding audition yesterday did anyone get told how soon the outcomes would be sent? I know this was discussed above but wondered if anyone picked this up yesterday?  For info for those with an interest in this kind of thing-Tring said that they had 500 applications for upper school ( I guess this must be just the dance course but don't know) and 65 were invited to the funding audition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that would happen, but I was very pleased we had a flexible train ticket ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its her Life Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 At my dd's finals two years ago, there were call backs at the end of the day (of which my dd was one of them) so we had to wait around a long time after the initial morning audition. Also, the physio assessments seemed to take a very long time too. So yes, I would definitely book your flight for the following morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 There are soooo many talented dancers applying for upper schools, not just from our own country either. To gain a place your children must have to be very talented. With assessing out etc from other top schools the competit is so fierce. Does Paris opera take anyone into their school who is from outside France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afab Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yes Tulip, POBS does take kids outside France but auditions stop at the age of 13. After that, you can only get a private audition and it's incredibly difficult to get an invitation... You are not wrong Kat09, sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Would like to ask this question following on from interesting posts in the Tring lower school thread. It would appear that all the boarding places were filled with full fee paying students from the first set of auditions and before the funding audition. Apparently if offered a place from first audition you can accept but have to pay £2500 deposit to secure it and the bed, then go to the funding audition if invited. Is this something that can/has happened in the past at Tring US auditions? So is it best to audition early and risk your deposit? Is the deposit refundable if you don't get a DADA? Asking as DD will audition in two years time (well maybe 18 months if she has to go to early auditions!) and Tring will be her preference. We also can't afford it without a DADA.

Ecarte Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 When DD auditioned 2 years ago there was the option to accept a place prior to the funding audition. Â We waited for the funding audition. DD was offered a DADA but as a day pupil. Our home is relatively close to Tring. However others were offered DADA s with boarding. I think it varies from year to year how many accept prior to funding finals and so is difficult to predict. Â It is easier to work around this in 6th form as you are able to live out with a host family, as many do. This often works out much cheaper than boarding. I do know some DCs who choose to live out for this very reason and are very happy doing so. Some even have their own flats and this is still a cheaper option.

Loulabelle Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Ah ok thank you Ecarte. I would want DD to board for first year, but I understand all 6.2 and 6.3 live off site? I have heard that some live in shared houses belonging to the school. Is the rent cheaper in these houses? And do they get the option to pay for their meals with the boarders? Or are they completely self sufficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecarte Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Some 6.2 live off site but are still classed as boarders as they are in school owned properties and go into school for all meals. They have House Parents looking after them as well and are paid at the usual boarding rates. 6.3's generally rent privately with their friends somewhere in Tring as day pupils. As a day pupil lunch and afternoon tea are included but there is the option to pay for dinner as required and this is added to your bill at the end of the term . If a host family is chosen they usually provide the meals not provided by school ie breakfast and dinner. Hope this helps, good luck x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
