As a dance school, we offer the opportunity to participate in examinations with the very well established and prestigious Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance.
Exam opportunities start usually in Year 3. All students are carefully and always considered. Many factors contribute towards whether and when your child is ready for an exam. We will be in touch when your child is ready for an exam. There is an additional cost involved and this will be explained when your child is offered to participate.
The exam process includes additional coaching sessions and a mock exam before the exam day. We usually host a private session of exams at the end of term in December and March in Streatham. The cost can vary but it is usually around £90-£130 for the total exam cost.
