South London Dance Studios

The South London Dance Studios Timetable is expected to remain roughly similar to the one below for the forseeable future. Please refer to this so that you are aware of the progression your child will make throughout his / her time at the school and you can forsee which class(es) your child will move up to next. That way, you can inform us of any potential timing challenges so that we know well in advance and can try to suggest alternatives.

This ‘system’ will, of course, vary according to the individual child’s rate of progression in each genre of dance.

A child can remain in a level for one to six terms due to differing rates of physical and cognitive development; it is not unusual for a child to remain in a level for over a year. Work is not repeated, it is developed at a rate suitable for the individual.

We politely request that parents don’t question the teacher’s judgement over whether their child is ready to move up to the next level or take an examination. But please do attend enrolment day to obtain feedback on progress and rest assured that all of our teachers are qualified and experienced professionals who make all their decisions based on what is best for the individual child.

If your child’s teacher decides that they are ready to move up to the next level of class next term, the invoice you receive a few weeks before the end of term will provide full details of the new class day and time. Therefore please check it very carefully and contact us immediately if you have any problems.
