Students will be selected to either enter RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) IDTA (International Dance Teachers Association) or the Irish Board of Dance Performance.
All Examining bodies are inclusive of ability, age, and gender.
Normally examinations take place at the end of an academic year in May/June after a 3 term period of learning the required syllabus and perfecting it.
We enter students into examinations in Dance from the young age of 3 right up to adulthood.
Examinations are optional for all students however we feel exams bring focus to a student's journey and give back an award for their hard work and dedication to their chosen style.
Our teachers will guide your child through the right path for examinations to ensure a positive experience and high-level results.
