porthesia Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Its a couple of years since dd auditioned, but I seem to remember start time for day pupils was around 08.00 and I think there are lessons on a Saturday. I'm sure those who have auditioned recently will be better informed. Edited April 29, 2012 by porthesia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Assembly is at 8.30 am and they have RAD on a saturday. If you have not got an MDS award then the Saturday class is optional as you have to pay extra for these classes. If you are lucky and have been awarded an MDS then these classes are free, but they have to be attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Sorry got it wrong, the day begins at 8.00 and yest there are scholarships available internaly, you would need to speak to Mr Anderson regarding them I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 There used to be one bursary for a Tring Associate (when TPA were called Junior Conservatoire) who auditioned successfully for the Dance Course, but that was 3 years ago. With the advent of CBA, (which is much more akin to "real" Associates than the Junior Conservatoire was) this may have changed or gone. Â Mr Anderson told us about it at the Open Day a few years ago when dd was still dancing at Tring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomuchtallent Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just wondering roughly how many students do they accept for year 7,and do they do all the same classes together or are they at different levels? thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I was told there was nothing they could do regarding funding if you didn't qualify for MdS apart for Musical Theatre. As such, my DS got a non funded place for Ballet year 8. They sent me a long list of funding bodies (none but 1 could help a little) but no offer of a bursary came with it. We had to turn the place down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 They don't advertise it, I think if you have a sponser then Tring will give a small bursary. You will need to ask, it deffinately does exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Well I did ask! It makes you wonder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Assembly is at 8.30 am and they have RAD on a saturday. Â Do the Tring day pupils join the Associate classes for RAD or are they separate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Day pupils are expected to attend the RAD classes on a Saturday. They are compulsory for MDS students but as they are extras otherwise, I think you can opt out if not on MDS. The times for these classes on a Saturday vary yyear on year and depend on the grade the student is studying. They don't normally start Inr=termediate till third form (Yr 9).

taxi4ballet Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Sorry, what I meant was - are the Tring Park Associates and the Day pupils in the same saturday RAD classes together or are they taught separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
