Pointetoes Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I think it’s personal choice and by that I don’t mean parents I mean child’s. My DD had several offers including a full scholarship to one. It had to be her choice because at the end of the day she is the one doing the training etc. I am afraid I have no idea how she choose but she knew at all her auditions whether she like somewhere or not. The one thing we did ask was that purely for easy of funding if possible she would go for a degree. She then went and took that out of the equation by getting a full scholarship for a diploma course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has offers for Bird, Laine, & Performers , and a recall next weekend for Urdang…… so whatever happens next weekend will mean she has to make a decision soon. she knows which is her favourite at the moment, (a yes from Urdang could change that though, ) but just want to make sure we’re not missing anything important!!

You know when my daughter auditioned I said you want to go to somewhere that feels homely and friendly. I’ve known people come out of Laine and bird and got no job but it just depends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She auditioned for urdang and didn’t get the vibe lol and the same with LSC. My husband liked urdang I didn’t and I liked LSC he didn’t but I loved Wilkes and daughter did.

Laine obvs has it’s funding uncertainty; If she could pick Performers up and put it somewhere else that’d be fab; so I think they’re probably not really in the running….. Bird, I think is winning at the mo; but an offer from Urdang would challenge that. ☺️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymum Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Does Urdang give a straight “yes” this year or is it a “no” or recall? I’ve heard of many recalls but not a single “yes” so am wondering if it’s simply a case of two rounds of auditions this year (if DD is lucky to get a recall it means a total cost goes up by yet another hotel stay in London 🙄 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are giving offers but they may be less in number than before. Recall is an option but I am not sure of how many have been offered places that way.

From an administrative and resource point of view you would want to accept people from the 1st audition. I don’t know what the cohort size is this year.

She knows of a straight yes, a straight no, and a straight to waiting list from her first audition……… so that’s all options covered! 🤣 Edited February 13, 2022 by Gowiththeflo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the recall any different the the first audition? My DD is going in 2 weeks Dd says…… “Short ballet class, different excercises to 1st audition, but nothing too difficult. Mostly barre, 1 develope excercise in the centre. Exact same jazz routine, including improv section as before. She sang one song, ( Dd did the same one, others did a new song) & then a short interview following on from the previous one. There was around 6 people on the panel. “ Thank you, and yes, hoping not too long to wait as it was her last audition, she’s really wanting to start thinking about decisions🤣 Good luck to your Dd, Happymum☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
