Classes start from 5 years of age and students can participate in the following activities:

Performing at Local Shopping Mall

Examinations/Medal Tests

Throughout the year students are taught exercises and dance routines, of which can be performed in front of a national examiner and marked. These exams encourage students become more confident in themselves, take pride in their appearance, take responsibility to practice outside of lessons times, and teaches them to 'perform', while also improving their technique. Medal tests are aimed at encouraging students to dance and perform in front of a small audience and in a fun, non-judgmental atmosphere.

Annual Show

When working on performances for our annual stage show, the students are given the opportunity to choreograph their dances and design their own costumes. They also develop skills for team work, develop confidence, and take pride in their appearance, and the opportunity to perform on a proper theatre stage with lights and curtains!
