Nancy19 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Didn't say she was too talented!! The letter said she was talented but they couldn't offer her a place in November. Perhaps due to lack of space? Can't ever imagine tring turning down someone who is talented. Lol xx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballerinamummy Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hi everyone, been watching this post with great interest. Nancy21 you are right about the letters, my DD had a no for now in November, but please re - audition in May. Her friend however had one which was a straight no. I phoned and asked for feedback and was told that they definitely wanted to see my DD again in May. My friend also phoned and she was told that her daughter wasn't built for classical training, but good luck for the future. Sadly we couldn't attend the May audition, but spoke to Mary and she said they want her back to audition in November. Has anyone else not received this type of letter before?

Ballerinamummy Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Sorry!! Forgot to mention, both letters, my DD received and the no my friends DD received were worded VERY differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy19 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks for that info ballerinamummy, hopefully your daughter can do November. They must of liked her. my daughter wanted to audition last May but I missed the deadline, so got an audition in November. Then she was ill and couldn't go!! She finally got to audition on Sunday though, fingers crossed for all x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilac Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 One nice thing with Tring they don't assess out, assessments are to decide between moving up and staying in current group. Anyone know chances of getting into Group 6? Good luck to everyone for Sunday's assessments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Several of the older girls will be going to Vocational School in September so that will free up some spaces in the top two groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulabelle Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 As far as I can tell there will only be my DD and maybe one other left in group 6 come September so there will be scope for girls to be moved into that group. Otherwise my DD will get a regular private lesson ???? which has happened recently!! Best money I've ever spent on ballet! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbroken-ballet-mum Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thank you everyone. I popped into her school to tell her and she was ecstatic. She has a private lesson with her ballet teacher after school, so I looking forward to giving her the news. She pushed DD to go for it in the first place. Â Tell your DD well done PetalViolet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legseleven Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Congratulations to your DDs, balletmum1979 and Petalviolet! Please let us know how they get on at Tring.  I assume the paprika stain either didn't hurt your DD's chances or was removed, Petalviolet  ;-) Edited May 8, 2015 by Legseleven 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circe Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Congratulations for the yeses and for the benefit of any 'no's' out there my dd didn't get into Tring CBA when she applied in about Year 8 or 9 but did get offer of funded place at Upper School so never say never! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petalviolet Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I think the paprika could have added a certain charm but luckily we had an extra back up bobbly leotard which is now the "lucky" leotard! Thank you..still can't believe it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Excellent news! Well done to the "yesses". :-) Â For the "no"s, it is always worth trying again - my dd didn't get into CBA at 11 but did get into another Associate scheme - and she tried again successfully for CBA at 14. Lovely studios at Tring (despite the lack of loos!) and super teaching. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petalviolet Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 May I ask....do they assess out each year or is it to check current level and move accordingly? Â More importantly....do you get Bourbon biscuits every week while you wait or is that just to lull auditioning parents into false sense of security? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilac Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 There is no assessing out, you either stay put for a year or move to the next year. Refreshments are left out weekly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletmum20 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yes you get biscuits every week and tea and coffee!! Mmmm no they don't assess out its to move groups or remain where they are, and my dd really wants to move up this time xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petalviolet Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Oh good luck to her!!! Still v stressful.....:-( Â I am going to make myself a bourbon sandwich carpet picnic on a fortnightly basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy19 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Good luck everyone for tomorrow!! Hope you all move up a group or have good feedback. still no letter here for us, but we do live in rural location and post is often a few days late! We always get school reports a few days later than some of her class mates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
