Hi I just wanted to thank everyone who had given me advice either by DM or on this thread for my DD's offer for foundation at Conti. All really good advice - she's been back and forward over what to do but has just accepted the place! Now very excited to be there for a year - just got to sort accom...

Rumour has it that Conti send audition results through when their foundation students aren’t in school which is very considerate so that would be late evening or the weekend.DD was in the recall for Arts on that Tuesday and has yet to hear anything. Waiting is the worst bit and even then, at best t...

As the mum of a fellow first year it has been a real rollercoaster. The initial elation, sobbing at October half term and Christmas not wanting to go back. This term an injury meant she could dance and was really miserable then. This week seems to be better as the performances are becoming clearer -...

Hello to those who have joined us! @Alro, I am sure your DD has the right idea to get organised and audition early. Sadly DS, although very keen, does not really do 'early'. He's in a show in half term, and juggling rehearsals and schoolwork, so every time I suggest maybe looking at some monologues...

You can have 5 UCAS, 5CUCAS, their also the direct application (non UCAS) courses (foundation, diplomas and some degrees).

Read College in Reading they have an access to the arts fund to help with the fees.
DD is now in the first year at Conti and says she is appreciating just how good the Read training was.

Conti is the only place where there is truly even triple threat everywhere else has a sight bias towards one skill. Urdang/Bird - slightly more dance. Though Urdang has an actor/singer group from year 2. Moutview - slightly more acting. Does your DD have any advice as to what her strengths are? My D...

My DD is also very happy. After years of convert churches and church halls she is adoring Conti’s brand new facility.
Legit MT this term and having previously been a reluctant legit performer she is loving it.

DD was a Read and just started at Conti. She did 2.5hours of ballet, 2.5 hours of Jazz, 1.35 hours tap, 1.25 hours contemporary, 1.25 hours commercial, plus 1.25 hours of body con in year 1. In year 2 they added 2.5 hours of audition dance and 1.25 hours of MT dance. Her cohort are all just starting...

](*,) Thanks MTDreams, good to hear success stories! He isn’t confident with dance so just got to work on a bit of self belief! It is often the technical dance. Find a good dance teacher who runs an adult ballet class to get him a good basic foundation in ballet can really help. Doing the same with ...

Wishing everyone’s DC good luck. We are in the final prep DD is picking up her flat keys this afternoon.
I am facing up to an empty house.

It’s an OCR extended diploma so similar to a BTEC equivalent to 3 A levels, but very practical. They had their results 1/7.

Just like any other course you should contact the institution as there maybe some flexibility with the offer.
Good luck tomorrow, so glad DD OCR and we already know, don’t envy anyone waiting.
