Balletmum77 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi, this is my first post so I hope I'm doing this right! My daughter found out today that she has been placed on the reserve list for York ballet scholars. She is quite upset that she didn't get a place and I wondered if anyone else has been in this position and was subsequently given a place at a later date? Would like to think she still has a chance! Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Welcome to the forum :-) Sorry about her disappointment and I can't help with your actual question, but remember there'll be plenty of other opportunities in the future.

Balletmum77 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi, thanks for your replies. My daughter is 9 and it was her first audition so plenty of time left to try again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born to dance Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Fingers crossed for her, I'm hoping someone changes their mind too. Good luck! If anyone else knows the chances of getting in from the reserve list please comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krishell Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hi Did your DD get a reserve place with funding or reserve place and has to pay? My daughter got a place but without funding, so not sure if we will take this place. We have the 2nd week down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born to dance Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Krishell, I think this is a different thing, this is the yorkshire ballet scholarship centre where lessons take place every Saturday, those that get a place get a scholarship, although there is an admin fee to pay for everyone. Do you mean the summer school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogalou Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hi my dd is on the reserve list too, she is 11, she was on the reserve list 2 years ago too but never heard anything else. She got a no last year so at least she is happier this year with being a reserve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shygirlsmum Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi everyone, this is my first post ☺ My 10 year old daughter is also on the reserve list (it appears to be quite a long list ????), I'm so proud, it was her first audition and she knows she made a few mistakes, I think nerves got the better of her, but great experience. Does anyone know the timeframe? I'm guessing the first choice candidates have a date whereby they need to complete registration and then the reservist will be offered shorty after. My girl is still hoping for place but would really like to know either way. Fingers crossed she gets in and good luck to everyone. Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogalou Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi Shygirlsmum, from what I understand those who were offered places had to complete and pay before half term so I guess they know who has accepted by now? Well done to her for getting on the reserve list on her first audition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitschqueen_1 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 A few years ago my dd auditioned for a number of associate schemes and also for a CAT place. She was offered a place at York scholars that she initially accepted and I paid the deposit for. However when she was also successful for the CAT scheme it was impossible for her to do both so she then had to regretfully decline the place at York scholars. I seem to remember that the final payment wasn't due until mid July so it was only the deposit I lost. You never know there may be some movement on the reserve list before September. Good luck everyone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born to dance Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I think there is only 3 on reserve list for each class but I may be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygirlsmum Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Thank you Born to Dance for this information, i see that balletmum77 has a 9 year old, my daughter is 10 and dd's friend also a reservist 10 too. So fingers crossed that we have news soon. I know of an older girl turning down a place in the next age group so Boogalou i have my fingers crossed for you xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born to dance Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I finally heard at the start of September and was offered a place, so it can be a long wait! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygirlsmum Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well done to you, DD's friend started in September and is loving it DD will try again next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddsballetmum Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 DD was offered a reserve place in September but has turned it down as she was also offered CAT programme at Yorkshire Young Dancers and the classes clashed. Keep trying, though as auditions are good experience and often DC succeed a 2nd or 3rd time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
