DANCE EXAMINATIONS

Pupils are prepared for Professional Teachers of Dancing Examinations in whatever dance form they are studying and are also given the opportunity to take part in various onstage performances such as Dancing Festivals.

Examinations are very important at our Dance School.
Whilst they are not compulsory, I am a firm believer in the examination System. 
When students progress & have reached the required standard in whatever dance form they are studying - I encourage all my students to avail of our exam sessions:-
  1. Examinations are confidence building tools
  2. They give each child a sense of Achievement
  3. Examinations create focus in class & give pupils a common goal.
  4. As a parent & paying customer you can therefore gage your child’s progression & your child will have received an accredited commendation from a recognized dance society, PTD (Professional Teachers of Dancing)
The examination structure of the PTD is designed to cater equally for the 'once a week' child and the child who will go on to make dance his/her profession, either as a performer or as a teacher. The work progresses through each level, building on the lessons previously learned as well as adding new skills. Musicality and artistry are valued as highly as technical execution and all syllabi are regularly reviewed to keep them up to date.
