Senior (5th year and above)

Classes available for this age group are  – tap – disco – modern/jazz – majorette – ballet.

 

Our classes help instil confidence, social and life skills which will help them in their chosen career.

 

Our annual show is usually at the beginning of June and they will do one dance for each discipline – the difference this experience makes to them I honestly cannot put into words. It is a great confidence booster and they really blossom after their time on stage.  This is the highlight of our dancing year.

 

All outfits for our display are hired from the school and the only things you need to provide are their tap and ballet shoes, pink ballet tights and a white outfit for the finale – there are no hidden extras.

 

Dance exams can be taken but only if there has been good class attendance and have reached the required standard – they must be able to do all the required exercises/dances on their own with no help from the teacher.  They enter in groups of 3-4 and an adult is present with them at all times.  The reward for entering is a medal and a certificate with their name printed on it.  These exams are not compulsory but they do give a great sense of achievement.
