Ages 5 +
Approximately when our students start school they will be able to move up to our more structured classes where we follow the ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) syllabus in ballet, modern and tap classes.
In these classes, students will continue to develop their coordination, musicality, and dance technique in readiness for their exams (non-compulsory). We offer exams in Primary through to vocational levels and are so pleased with our 100% pass rate.
