Hi Tinkerbelle

I’m so happy to see your post this morning after such a long time.

There were 13 girls shortlisted for CL Dance Audition. The time started from early 2pm until 4pm plus and they schedule about 10 minutes for each girl. There were 3 teachers conducting the test.

DD has to follow some warm up/dance steps that demonstrated by one of the senior student and after that she has to present a short dance performance (about 3 minutes plus).

A simple conversation also before she left the room.

Think is not easy as some of the girls are from NAFA with at least grade 9.

They will notify us the outcome by 2 Sept.

Hi Brenda,
Oh DHS only Audition for Shortlisted Candidates? Do the Gals Audition in Group, or individually?

How Do U know the Gals R From NAFA? Is it by the Purple Leotard that they wear, Or your Gal knows them personally?

I would think that not necessarily they will pick all NAFA gals. Also it depends on how many vacancies they have for DSA-Dance. And Also their Sch and GAT and Interview (if any) outcome ....

At Least that's What NYGH Chinese Dance CCA T told us During Audition ....

Good Luck to your Gal!

Thanks for your sharing.

Looks like this year Interview Q at RGS is geared more to let the Gals be comfortable to talk about something they R familiar with ....

My Gal's Interview Q R almost similar to yours, except for specific Domain Q related to their DSA Application.

Good Luck to your Gal.
Now that I think about it, If Both our Gals R successful ....
They Will be Sch Mates next year, Right?

Hi funx3,
Totally agree with you. Luckily the questions were manageable and the gals didn't get questions like \"Would you rather be a pen or a pencil\" :scratchhead: ...keke

DD did mentioned that the interviewers tried to engage them and put them at ease.

Hopefully our gals make it huh. Would be nice if they are sch mates. If your DD gets a CO, let us know ok. Good luck to your DD. :xedfingers:

Hi Funx3

This was what they had stated in the email.

The audtion was individual and the rest of the applicants and parents had to wait outside the room.

DD sat for the GAT on 2 July (For application to DHS only) and there were some girls GAT were on 9 July (For applciation to DHS, NYGS or Cedar).

Yes, they were in Purple Leotard and I chat with one of the mother.

I think they have review through the GAT before they notified us for trail.

Thank you for your good wishes and hopefully they will take in all the 13 girls lah!

Wow, They Audition Individually, Then your Gal will not be able to Gauge with others being Auditioned ....

I'm sure DHS will take in More than the NAFA Gals U meet there ....
Your Gal Apply DSA-Dance to DHS only? not to NYGH, etc DSA?

Btw, have your Gal attend dance classes apart from CCA Dance in Sch?

Hi Funx3,

We did not apply NYGH and just try the luck for DHS since dd meet their criteria of the entry like the average score and preferably taking part in SYF etc

She has attend ballet dance but will only sit for RAD grade 5 test in early 2012.

Hi Tinkerbelle

:oops: Think we are just lucky to recd the invitation lah.

The dance is individual. DD borrow the costume and CD from the school and make some changes ourselves because what she learnt in school was a group dance.

Thank you for your good wishes and hopefully the luck continuous shine on us!
