Re: September 2015

Hi all, I recently started a thread called 'Year Off' just to get some ideas on what my DD can do next year in order to prepare for re-auditioning. If any of your children have been in the same position and you feel you've got any useful tips or ideas please share, thank you :)

Re: Year Off

Yeah you're right Oscar, she has been training a lot longer in dance, but she feels that in her auditions its actually sometimes her dance which lets her down as her nerves prevent her from performing her best and she also hasn't had much street dance experience which does always seem to come up in ...

Year Off

Re: September 2015

We got 'THE' letter from Urdang today, dd didn't get onto the degree but got 40% funding for diploma. Obviously a great achievement but one we unfortunately wont be able to afford, all absolutely gutted for her :( after all this waiting time its definitely not what she wanted to hear, anyone else in...

Re: September 2015

Has anyone who was on the Urdang waiting list after their recall heard any thing new? Last recall audition was last Sunday (the 10th) so imagine things will start moving along soon! And Bird too, anybody heard from them? Never expected when we started this process that they'd keep the poor kids wait...

Re: September 2015

Does anybody know the number or how to get hold of a number that we can ring up to find my daughters place on the Bird reserve list? and has anybody else done this yet, if so are they happy to do it or are they a bit funny about it?

Re: September 2015

That really reassuring to hear Danceandsing, and glad she is enjoying it too:)! How long was it that you had to wait until you found out she'd got the place!?

Re: September 2015

I would also like to know the answer to this. My ds is on the waiting list for a dada at Urdang. Is this the same as the reserve list or do they wait until all funding auditions are over before allocating dadas? We're in the same boat Almo, also looking for answers and the email wasn't all too clea...

Re: September 2015

I'm interested to see a few of you have been put on the 'waiting list' from Urdang too, my DD was worried it was a sort of rejection as she really wants/needs the degree and it seemed to suggest she was now only being considered for the Diploma and Dada awards. Is that how you guys all saw it? or do...

Re: September 2015

Anyone heard back from Urdang re funding yet? The waiting is unbearable ! We're waiting on Urdang funding result too! Such a painfully long wait, did your DC audition Sunday 22nd or the Saturday before? I spoke to some one on the phone from Urdang a couple of days ago to see when it was likely we w...

Re: September 2015

Hello, any one's DDs or DSs at Urdang recall on the 22nd? And does any body know how long it takes till you hear the result of your recall? We're crossing our fingers for degree, hopefully if the answer comes soon and its positive then we can start sorting accommodation which is very exciting!

Re: Chichester MT Degree - monologue

My dd has recently done her audition at Chichester. She didn't actually have to perform her monologue which she found out the night before the audition from a friend. Annoying, as she worked hard on it but it did take the pressure off a bit! They just did an improvisation workshop, which she really ...

Re: Life at Urdang

Ah I see, yes that is definitely encouraging! I think we would consider it if she didn't get any degree places else where and if there was a scholarship or fee reduction offered, she would definitely prefer degree though. My dd is feeling the exact same way towards Urdang, she loves how central the ...
