Modern aims
Through a carefully planned and well-tried examination syllabus, which combines modern dance, jazz and other dance styles, young people are trained to become disciplined and versatile dancers who have a professional attitude towards dance.
Examinations in modern
A series of eleven examinations has been created from the seven children’s grades ranging from primary to grade 6, through to the four professional qualifications: intermediate foundation, intermediate, advanced 1 and advanced 2. The children’s work is based on natural movements: walking, running, jumping and skipping. It is designed to encourage an imaginative and rapid response from beginners. Boys’ work has been developed to meet increasing demand for a modern dance training for boys.
