smallbythesea Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Am I right in thinking that the mds is for classical dancers? Dd auditioned in 2012/13 for a year 7 place starting sept 2013 and received a letter saying she was more suited to musical theatre for which they offered her a place but no funding. She has mentioned she would like to audition again this autumn for a year 9 place but looking at the mds information it would suggest they are only offered to classical dancers. Are they looking for a ballet physique and a ballet dancer? Or do they take all round dancers who still have solid ballet training?

invisiblecircus Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The MDS is for classical dancers. They will be looking for a ballet physique and candidates who they think have the potential and desire for a classical career. Is your daughter aiming for a ballet career or musical theatre?

smallbythesea Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Musical theatre. Although she has a lovely figure, she doesn't have a ballerinas physique. Dd would love to go away full time to be with like minded children. Unfortunately, like most parents we can't afford it. She does however have excellent local training. smallbythesea Edited July 1, 2014 by smallbythesea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Tring do offer - or they did offer - some scholarships for the Theatre Arts course. As invisiblecircus says, MDS funding is only for potential classical dancers (or musicians at the Music schools) so only available at Tring to those on the Dance course. If your dd auditions for a place on the Theatre Arts course this time, she may be better placed to apply for a scholarship to help with funding. It may be worth contacting the school to ask if they still offer scholarships for Theatre Arts students. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum6 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hanno di gave Mds platea to kids With eccepito al musical Theatre talent agile my son was there. Have u considered auditioning there. The training was fab when mine was there. If we could have accordarsi to board him lo fed he may well have taken his offer of a dada at Hammond.

Busymum Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Tring still do theatre arts scholarships. I think they are only worth about 30% of fees though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallbythesea Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 As generous as the 30% is, it is still out of our reach I'm afraid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
