Examinations

Children can be entered into ISTD* examinations throughout their training as long as they are attending all the recommended classes. The teacher decides when a child is ready to take an examination and we politely ask that parents / guardians respect this decision as it is always for the benefit of the child.

When a child is offered an examination, we recommend that they do enter and ask that parents are supportive of the requirement for extra lessons prior to the examination.  Examinations are a good consolidation of class work, encourage focus and commitment, and promote a sense of achievement.

Shows & Presentations

Full scale dance shows are presented every 3-4 years, with a ‘Presentation of Class Work’ in the interim years.  Rehearsals are in addition to regular classes and therefore require extra commitment from parent/guardian and child.

Our most recent show was ‘We Can Dance!’ presented at the Michael Croft Theatre in East Dulwich in June 2010. We hope you enjoy the pictures below of  our ‘Alice in Wonderland’ ballet sequence.

Our next ‘Presentation of Class Work’ will be at the Michael Croft Theatre in East Dulwich on Sunday 26th February 2012 and our next full scale dance show is planned for March 2013.  We do hope you can  join us. Please watch our General Noticeboard page for information about booking tickets.  All proceeds for our 2012 Presentation will go to the Charlotte Foundation.

And here are some of our rehearsal shots for Alice . . .
