Re: Auditioning for 2017

Hi Barrysue I would suggest a foundation course rather than a BA at Uni, but that is my opinion. I know many, including my dd who have done a year foundation and then been offered a place at one of their top choice schools, and it gives them excellent preparation for the next 3 years. There is no fu...

Re: summer schools

Hi If your dd, like mine did, has her heart set on Urdang, you have definately done the right thing by booking her on the Pre-Audition course. We were in a similar situation where dd had only really danced, so had to have some private singing and acting lessons and discovered an amazing singing voic...

Re: Urdang Accommodation

Hi Shabby my dd is also on the diploma but is 19 and is doing a house share with 4 others a similar age. There is a facebook page set up " Urdang starting 2016" that your DS can join as perhaps he could join some older students in a house share, or find out where other Urdang students are ...

Re: Urdang Accommodation

Re: Urdang Accommodation

Hi dancingmoll Congtratulations to your dd getting the BA at Urdang! My dd is on the reserve list but in the meantime has accepted a place on the diploma and we are just looking at shared houses, but I agree its hard to know where to start and the places on the list that they send out are so expensi...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Hi all and well done to everyone with places so far. The waiting game is so stressful and I am glad ours is over. My 19 yr old dd has a place on the Diploma at Urdang after doing a year on a fantastic foundation course at Funky Studios in Nottingham( a fraction of the cost of those in London) and th...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Thank you for the replies on accommodation. Not so easy to sort when you are miles away from London. I think a few are looking
at Chester House, but she really wanted to be in a shared house, although, first time away from home its not always as they imagine it to be !

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Hi can anyone tell me where Urdang students tend to live in the first year ? My DD will be 19 so would prefer to share a house with other Urdang Students. There is a facebook page set up now but the list that Urdang give you is mainly for very expensive student complexes with Gyms etc . We are curre...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Hi Lindy7 I completely agree with you about the stress !! When my DD was 17 she did the summer pre-audition course at Urdang and thankfully this made her realize that she wasn't ready to audition. She has spent the last year doing a foundation course and has changed so much. Nearly 19,this is her fi...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Hi Xxxlisaxxx Hope you don't have to wait too much longer ! We have to send our non-refundable deposit and confirmation in to Urdang by the 15th April, so maybe they are waiting to see who accepts a place before they allocate any more places with funding .Good Luck !
