UPPER SCHOOL (from 11 to 17 years of age)

​

Our Upper School classes are designed to push dancers to the next level, focusing on technical excellence, performance ability, and versatility. Students follow the ISTD syllabus in Ballet, Tap, and Modern, with the opportunity to take exams for those who wish to progress through the grades. At this stage, dancers refine their technique, build confidence, and develop their own unique performance style.

FUTURE DANCE TEACHERS PROGRAMME

Our Future Dance Teachers Programme by Embody Future Dance Teachers is carefully designed for dedicated senior students who show not only a love of dance, but also the maturity, commitment and enthusiasm needed to support younger dancers within the school.

 

The programme gives students hands-on experience assisting in classes, learning about teaching techniques, classroom organisation, communication skills and what it really means to be a positive role model within a dance school environment.

​

Introducing the Future Dance Teachers Programme is a huge step forward for our school and reflects our long-term vision for nurturing dancers beyond weekly classes and performances.

 

We want our students to see that dance can open many doors - not only as performers, but also as leaders, mentors, teachers and role models.​
