Anna C Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 As RBS JAs is such a popular subject, I have started this thread intended for FAQs on the subject, similar to the pinned threads about Upper and Lower School auditions. If you have questions about RBS JAs, please feel free to post them in this thread so that all the questions are in the same place. Below are links to previous threads on the subject of JAs; I will add more links as I find them. Please have a read through them in case your question has already been asked and answered there: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/9130-rbs-junior-associate-ja-questions/ http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/8919-manchesterleeds-ja-times/ http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/8831-rbs-ja-programme-advice/?view=findpost&p=117246&hl=%22rbs+associates%22 http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/7577-rbs-jas-trying-again/?view=findpost&p=101723&hl=%22rbs+associates%22 http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/3247-rbs-junior-associates-auditions/?view=findpost&p=37693&hl=%22rbs+associates%22 http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/6069-ja-experience-day-and-general-queries/?view=findpost&p=79794&hl=%22rbs+associates%22 http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/554-ja-auditions-2012/?view=findpost&p=7181&hl=%22rbs+associates%22 http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/160-rbs-ja-any-tips-for-a-novice-mum/?view=findpost&p=1486&hl=%22rbs+associates%22 http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/83-rbs-ja-auditions/?view=findpost&p=534&hl=%22rbs+associates%22 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petalviolet Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Do you think it might be possible to have a pinned thread at the top of the forum so that all members- especially new ones like myself- could head there straightaway? It is such a popular topic for newbies and perhaps one of the main reasons people join. I'm not sure how pinned threads work though so if it's not practical please don't worry! I'm not sure if anyone else would find it useful but it took me rather a long time to get to grips with RBS JA, Tring CBA, LJB, YDA and whatnot - just in terms of inputting search criteria! I appreciate that the RBS gets top billing but as so many very experienced posters who have been there and done that say - there are many roads that lead to dance- could we not make it a Junior Associate thread, to include all the exciting and rewarding associate schemes across the country and the audition process for these too? I would never have heard of these schemes if I hadn't done my research on here, our school never mentioned there were any such opportunities it was just the RBS? I hope it's not an impractical idea but it just seems that one step is missing? We have lower and upper school but not associates? It might save our splendid mods a bit of time gently herding the annual flock of newbies? Like me??!! I don't really know what goes on in those pinned threads so please excuse me if that's not really what they are for..it's all Dadas and Midas thingies...scary stuff... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think it might get too messy to have one thread for all Associate Schemes; there are SO many and they range in age from Year 4 to Year 13! I do apply the tag "Associates" to all threads regarding any Associate schemes, so you can click on the tag and get a list of all relevant discussions. You're right that we do get more questions about JAs but I have a feeling that the Comittee would say that were we to pin this thread to the top of the forum, other schools may see it as promoting RBS above all other schools. I can "bump" it to keep it on the front page for now and see how we go. In the meantime, do use the Tags to get a list of threads on Associates and we'll play it by ear as to whether we add further FAQ threads for 11+ Associates and Senior age Associates. Hope that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petalviolet Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thank you Spannerandpony - had a feeling there was a reason it hadn't been done but thought I'd ask as others might be thinking the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busymum Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I think it is about 2 weeks before. Too late for the cheap train tickets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletnewbie Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hey I've got dilemma A friend has not filled in the application form by the states closing date, however the form is still online. If she completes it today will it be accepted? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Impossible to say, but she's got nothing to lose by trying (as the school's not open to ask). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
