Guest dancer2027 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi osmum unfortunatley not My mum and I think we won't hear until at least the 1st week of May because they do not finish their auditions until April 20th. It is horrible waiting but luckily I have other offers, however I am going to lose my deposit accepting another place if I later get a place at Rambert Also what are these rumours about a second audition for waiting list people? Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmum Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Looks like we are in the 'same boat' flutterby. At least we do have an offer at a purely classical school but dd would prefer Rambert as it is all things to her. I hope your deposit isn't too much. Haven't heard anything about reserves having to re audition, just that someone mentioned it on here. Good luck to you to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBallerina Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I haven't heard either, and I guess we have to wait for a while .. I'm really hoping for Rambert - the school seems great I'll cross my fingers for all of us ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmum Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I just read on the Rambert site that applications close 2nd May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBallerina Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Oh, wow - it is really hard to wait .. I guess we won't hear from them until they have finished the auditions ..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dancer2027 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I'm a bit stressed about rambert because I have another school offer which must accept by 16th may, If I accept and then withdraw for rambert I must pay a full terms fees, it is a crazy amount we cannot afford so if we do not hear from rambert by the first of second week I'm just going to have to let the place go if anything comes up afterwards which would be a real shame. Speaking to the school they are aware this situation effects many applicants...if so why wait so long until the final auditions when I have been holding a waiting list place since February, it just seems an avoidable situation in my opinion as all other ballet schools auditioned months ago!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBallerina Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 The answers are coming really late, and it is such a shame that people have to turn down Rambert because of it.. Hoping for the best, Flutterby ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmum Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 My dd is in the same predicament as you Flutterby, Rambert will be he right place for her the equal mix of contemp and classical. Her other offers (which we are agonising over) fees are way, way cheaper but this could be a false economy to pay if she is not getting the training she wants or needs. What to do.???

Guest dancer2027 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Think the people waiting list offers, just need to sit tight for a month or so, will be interesting to hear if anyone knows of any offers made out to reserve candidates already. There seem to be many at the moment seems as if they are holding places out, but at what cost when people are losing money and they could potentially lose talented and hard working students to other schools due to finance reasons. I think my patience is wearing a little in this process now, I just want to know what the situation will be next September so can start sorting accommodation and focus on exams!!

pastel Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Would it be out of place to phone and explain the situation? Or do you think they are aware since it is probably the same each year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dancer2027 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have phoned up and rang twice now, once when we got the offer and again a week okay. They are aware of the situation and just apologise saying the director will make his decision when they know how many free spaces there are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBallerina Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Thanks, Flutterby! I believe we just have to wait then .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dancer2027 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Rambert said anyone can have a look round the school even if they are on the waiting list. I do find it frustrating that during auditions the schools I have been to let the parents look round and not the dc, when ultimately it is the student who will potentially be going there every day but I suppose they run out of time in the process. Anyway I have booked in to look round in a few weeks, they were very friendly about it and it means if I do get an offer, probably won't but never know, then the decision on which school I want to go to can be made quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its her Life Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 When my dd auditioned for Rambert last year and I was on the tour with parents (whilst dd was in audition) I actually raised this fact & said I thought it was sad that the students themselves didn't get a chance to see round and they said anyone was welcome to stay on after their audition and go on the tour with the afternoon group of parents. So if there is anyone on this forum still to audition for Rambert, just ask them. I agree, it's so important to be able to look round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I wholeheartedly agree that you should be able to look around on the day.After all you are[or your parents are]a potential paying customer.It`s a two way street.It`s not just about if the school want you,but if you want the school also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I have to say that I think it is ridiculous not to let prospective students look around the school on their audition day. Surely this can be built into the day in some way without having to make a special appointment to return. After all the people auditioning the actual dancing don't have to be the ones to show students around this could be done by the current students I would have thought. I think it was on this forum that I heard very good things about Tring in this respect with the older students showing others around and being very good at it!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Both of our dds went to university. After academic talks etc, the students showed the prospective students around the campus. It worked very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dancer2027 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Unfortunately it gets worse, as btuk don't even have a school built yet so we can't exactly look round a building site. It's hard to make these decisions with so little information haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBallerina Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I find it hard to know how the schools are, because I'm from abroad and it is difficult to audition in person both time wise and economically. Rambert has at least got pictures and information on their web page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dancer2027 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Final rambert audition, I think, is Tuesday. Should be hearing within a couple of weeks on reserve places fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBallerina Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Rambert has announced that the closing date for applications is 2nd of May .. Do you think there will be another audition after the closing date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmum Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Let's hope not Sballerina. Dd and I just want to know either way. Need to book flights from the other side of the world and every day we leave it it gets more difficult. Have emailed them and explained situation, they were very apologetic but we all just have to sit tight. have a couple of weeks befor I need to pay deposits at other schools. So that will be a crunch time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBallerina Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Flights also get more expensive by the time .. I cross my fingers for you. Let's hope we'll hear from them quickly ! I can't wait much longer haha.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dancer2027 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Perhaps closing date is for DVD? It seems rather late, they must be trying to attract as many of the best dancers as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Regarding the Rambert audition on Monday - I might have to take one of my pupils down . Does anyone know the time of the audition , and the nearest station please ? The parent can't get the info up on her computer and I have only this little phone .

Bailarin Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Can't help you with time of audition but have copied and pasted the directions for you if that helps? By public transport: Take the mainline train or the underground to Richmond, then the H37 bus (towards Hounslow) from immediately outside the station, alighting at the St Margaret’s Drive stop. Turn right down St Margaret’s Drive and the School is on the left. The buses are scheduled to depart about every 10 minutes, and the journey should take about 15 minutes. There are usually taxis at Richmond Station. Alternatively, take a mainline train to St Margaret’s Station, from where it is about a 15 minute walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
