Exam session begins...
Our Winter examination session is now underway with over 150 children preparing for dance exams.
Tap exams
On Sunday 6 November, the Senior tappers (pictured right) headed to Bathgate to sit their Grade 6 and Intermediate Tap exams with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD).
On Friday 11 November, thirty-six students aged from 7-15 will be sitting exams from Primary to Grade 3 level. This is the first session we have entered students for the newly revised and very challenging Grades 2-3 so we are keeping our fingers crossed!
RAD Ballet exams and Pyjama Week...
We have a full week off from Monday 14-Saturday 19 November to accommodate our Royal Academy of Dance ballet exams. Over 100 children will be examined, from their first Pre-Primary level up to Grade Seven. During the week, there are also intensive exam preparation classes for our Majors students who are entering the demanding Vocational Graded ballet exams at Intermediate Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced Foundation levels later in the month.
To celebrate the end of the exam session, our first week back (21-26 November) will be our fun and fundraising "Pyjama Week". Children will come to their class in their PJs with a £1 donation and have a relaxed and fun dance class. Parents are invited to join in Junior classes and there will be guest teachers for Seniors as well as raffles etc.
We wish everyone all the best with their exams and thank parents for the support they are giving their children with extra practise both at home and at additional classes.
