It’s time to think about ballet exams!

Posted Judy B.Leave a commentPosted in Uncategorized

Dance Venture treats exams as very special. The exams are quite demanding but a great experience if the student is confident about what they’re doing. Students were given DVD’s at the beginning of the Covid crisis. These detail the exam syllabus relevant to the student’s level. Students who do well at exams have usually studied these DVD’s at home, assisting them greatly where they might be having trouble. This year we have additional material on Youtube which will also prove useful in exam preparation.

More information including: Ballet exam dress requirements, Class guidelines for RAD Ballet exams and an Information sheet with fees and an entry form is available on request.

…to the students for their beautiful performances in our concerts. I thought they danced with feeling and discipline. I was especially interested to see how well the students related to the music. They seemed to really get into the spirit of each performance through the music.

Term 1, 2019 commences on Sunday 3rd February 2019. Have a safe and happy holiday. I hope to see you in 2019!
