The syllabus is carefully designed to prepare a student to become a well trained professional dancer and/or a graceful athletic young person, depending on the talent & the commitment of the child. Experienced students are entered for exams yearly. Two classes per week are mandatory for exam students from Grade 1 & up. Classes are offered from age 5 & up. We also teach recreational classes & there is no obligation to take an exam.
