JUNIOR BALLET DANCE EXAMS
Ballet Classes - Tuesday 3.15pm & Thursday 4.15pm
I am delighted to announce the return of our annual International Dance Teachers Association Exam session for all students. These exams will take place on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th June 2023.
Graded Ballet Exam
Tuesday 3.15pm and Thursday 4.15pm ballet class may all take their primary class exam - no extra sessions are required for this exam as the work will be covered in class. We will take those taking the exam for an extra class in the week leading up to the exam. A detailed timetable for the exam weekend will be available by the middle of May.
Those wishing to undertake their exams, should text Careen at 0872420630 this week to register.
As this is our first exam session since COVID, we will undertake class assessments, for ballet and modern so the children will enter in groups of 6 (previously 3) and I will be present in the room. I think this is a wonderful way of our students to experience dance exams post covid- it’s a much more relaxed atmosphere and I am there to offer support and guidance during the exam.
Dance exams are a wonderful way to see the progress a child has made in dancing year on year and also offer a great opportunity for students to showcase their talent and hard work for an external examiner. I have been entering students for dance exams for almost 15 years and I would strongly encourage students to take them.
Graded exams are designed for the more serious dance student. They learn a set number of exercises, dance combinations along with 2 routines which they display for the examiner. Each student receives a pin and certificate.
