Examinations

Exams are possible in all methods of dancing taught at the school under the directorship of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, (ISTD). Examination sessions are held most terms. The only term without examinations is the ‘Show Term’. Children are continually assessed in class and are selected for examinations when they have attained the required standard of technical detail and performance. The taking of examinations is not compulsory, although a child will not be able to move up to the next class until examination standard has been achieved.

Shows

This is the highlight of the School calendar and occurs every two years. A complete Summer Term is given to rehearsing and preparing for the show. All children are invited to perform, including DanceKidz. All students perform in each performance. A video is made each show and these can be ordered as keepsakes.
