Examinations
Dance Exams are made available to the serious dancer and are an excellent way to monitor and assess one's progress.
Students who are selected to participate in exams will find a wonderful sense of accomplishment as they graduate from grade-to-grade. Examinations assist in resume accolades (for the post secondary student), and prepare students for teacher training courses and diplomas at the advanced levels.
Examinations are held at the Examiner’s availability. Exam material is covered throughout the year with a two/three-week intensive prior to the exam date.
Examinations are mandatory for the competitive student.
