You have successfully passed the first round audition and you have a place at the Urdang Academy for September 2016! You are now invi...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

I think those selected for the Scholarship at Performers will be considered for DaDAs - or both. My dd is attending at 1.30pm for registration but unsure if there are also auditions in the morning?

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Dd2 got a letter from Bird offering her a place but no funding. If she accepts the place the letter said she would go on the waiting list for funding. She certainly can't go without funding so what have others done in this situation? Is a funded place possible (she applied for the Diploma)?

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Dd1 had a no from Birmingham. Still got other auditions to go but in the same boat as your dc at the moment. Dd2 on the other hand has had a further offer (3 in total now) and told at her 4th audition yesterday that a 'good' letter will be sent home:) Anyone know if it's possible to claim student fi...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Dd2 got an email from Millennium today with an offer of a place on the 3 year Diploma course so 2 offers so far :)
Good luck to everyone - bit mixed in our house as dd2 has offers and dd1 hasn't yet but still more auditions to go for them both.

Re: Auditioning for 2016

For Millennium, dd said be prepared to do scales. The monologue and song are done in front of 1 person. In dance there is a ballet class - dd thinks they look for technique but if technique isn't strong, smile :) For contemporary focus on breath and release (catch and release) and for jazz, just per...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Dd2''s letter arrived today confirming the offer of a place and wanting a reserve fee of £75 to keep the place before April 25th. The DAda audition isn't until May. She still has 6 audition to go. Is it best to pay it or hold fire until closer to the deadline? I knew the audition process was expensi...
