She’s a bit disappointed as she’s had definite offers from all her auditions except Laine and EDA was one of the main ones that she was interested in .
I guess all the colleges are looking for something different .
Does anyone know how many would usually be on a reserve list?
[/quoteSo disappointing when they don’t get the offers they really want! We really feel it as parents, not sure about numbers but from last years thread seems lots go onto reserve lists. Good luck with the decision making x

If you contact Performers they should be able to tell you how far up/down your dd is on the reserve list, we were told dd was in the upper tier so likely to get a place but she has confirmed her place at Wilkes and is going there in September instead.Ib111 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 1:00 pm My dd has a Dada offer from Northern Ballet school in Manchester. We have accepted it as a Dada works out well for us, it was her favourite audition and she could see herself there.
Nbs have emailed all the Dada forms but I haven't filled them out yet as waiting for proof of income and I can't book Unite accommodation yet to confirm that.
She is also on the waiting list for Bird and Performers for the degree and haven't heard from them either.
Not sure how other colleges are doing it but Performers has a full time online course from tomorrow via zoom so they’re hoping to stay on track.Mammamia wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 4:49 pm I’m not that convinced that the college year will be starting in September . Maybe I’m being pessimistic but I’m speaking from the perspective as a front line health care professional with a lot of experience and education in public health issues.
I know someone working in one of the bigger dance colleges and the plan is to hopefully bring this years 1st, 2nd and 3rd years back in August to complete this years course in order that the 2020-21 year can begin on time .
However ,that’s just a possible plan as no one knows yet what’s really going to happen .

Bird are starting a full online timetable today - there's also rumours of extending the term, but nothing confirmed as of yetMygirlsloveMT wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 11:11 pm Daughter’s just told me that Wilkes start online tomorrow too, who had heard of zoom before lockdown?
Yes DS says GSA going to run fully online this term too. I'm amazed how much the performing arts colleges have managed to do in such a short time. Well done to them all!MygirlsloveMT wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 11:11 pm Daughter’s just told me that Wilkes start online tomorrow too, who had heard of zoom before lockdown?
Yes it would be good to have something confirmed!

Stressful doesn't even come into it! Could really do with hearing from Performers to know where we stand with that .
