Twiggy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks twiggy that is really helpful, not least as I had not taken in that it is a two stage audition process. All sounds very friendly and accomodating as well as relatively small group. I hope there is a london audition though which would help keep the costs down for us. Hope you hear soon. I have heard mention of a London audition 31st of this month. don't hold me to that though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadowblythe Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 there is definitely a London audition on 31st January, and a second in February if they need it! If in doubt, Kerry Livingstone is very approachable K.Livingstone@rcs.ac.uk If you are considering for 6th form but younger, it is really worth attending the Easter or summer school, a lot of the current students stay and take class and you will get a good feel for the place, as most of the teachers are RCS teachers.

Circe Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks meadowblythe, do have had a dc there ? If so, do you know if they have much academic /written work (presumably dance related) to do as part of the programme and is this side of the programme well supported? I imagine they must have as a degree programme? I am hoping the answer is yes as ideally (if accepted anywhere!) would like dd to keep up academic skills alongside dancing.

Against All Odds Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks. We have just had an e-mail regarding the audition on the 31st, which starts at 9:30am in London. Anybody else attending? Also: has the RCS given feedback to those who attended in December in Glasgow yet? Has anybody been offered a place or the finals? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahw Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi all, I'm bumping this thread to see if anyone has any helpful hints for completing the personal statement. We have read the info on the UCAS website but are happy to receive advice based on your experience! Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldermum Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 My dd put her training, performance experiences, academic info. Why she wanted to audition at RCS. Happy to say she is taking up her place in a couple of weeks. Good luck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadBallerina Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I also put in why I love to dance and want to train at RCS specifically. My last RAD exam and result, performing experiences and other things I've done (school dance captain and assisting at my dance school) that show my passion for dance and any other qualities that just show you to be a good and more importantly hardworking student that they would want to train. Having said that, I really don't think the personal statement makes that much of a difference. Of course they want it to be good and in a way demonstrates your English and essay writing capability which is necessary for the course. I finally decided to choose RCS where I'll be starting in 2 weeks, still unsure as to whether it was the right choice but I'll just have to make the most of it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’s worth, I think that once a decision has been made you have to believe that it is the right one. Don’t look back, no regrets. RCS is on my dd’s shortlist, so I will read any updates you post with great interest! Good luck! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Out of interest, is there any detailed info anywhere on how many RCS dance grads get employment after graduating, and where? IIRC, last time I looked, the only information was about 2 or 3 of the male graduates. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBallerina Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I don't think grad destinations have been publically published anywhere, however we emailed to find out and they told us. Only 6 grads this year, 2 are going onto training programmes at Northern/BTUK and the others have got jobs in Europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadowblythe Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Their employment record is very good - more than happy to discuss by PM (my son graduated 2016) but because others on this forum have children who they may not want identified, would prefer not to post. The cohorts are so small it's easy to see who is who. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
