Our Performance Teams are aimed at the more serious dancer who wants to achieve the best results and are driven to work hard. Commitment from the dancer and their parent/guardian is vital as these classes will need to reach certain standards, which will mean attending every scheduled lesson, daily practice and a yearly commitment. Dancers will be trained for examinations, competitions and also for all of our performances throughout the year.
Dancers are trained in a very technical and structured way whilst also improving their performance quality, which aids this craft. As classical is the basic foundation to all dance forms, performance team dancers, including solos, duo or trio dancers must attend one ballet class per week. All ballet classes are taught as exam classes using the appropriate level syllabus. It is not compulsory for dancers who attend ballet class to participate in the actual exam, however it is greatly encouraged. From ‘Grade 2 and above’ dancers must be attending at least two ballet classes per week to partake in the exam. The syllabus also includes theory, improvisation, character dances and pointe work.

Performers are taught theatrics that combine songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance.

During the 12-month course performers will also work through a range of subjects such as characterisation, script reading, audition techniques, interpretation and musical theatre history.
