WHAT CLASSES TO CHOOSE:
September is the beginning of our school year, this means that the schedules have changed quite a lot compared to last term. This is done in an effort to give all students access to the correct classes, with students moving up to the next level and others remaining. All students will receive recommendations from their respective teachers via WhatsApp regarding classes they can sign up for in the September term. If you have not received this information by July 19, 2024, please contact us.

BALLET
For new students, please see here the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) recommended Minimum Ages:
Pre-Primary – 5 years
Primary – 6 years
Grade 1 up to Grade 5 – 7 years +
It is required for students who are in GRADE 1 and above to take ballet twice a week, so that they can be well prepared when it is time for the exams. Also, we are encouraging all pointe students to not only take the two ballet classes a week but also two pointe classes when possible and we highly recommend that the vocational students make the effort to take classes like Musical Theatre, Contemporary, Hip Hop, and Tap to broaden their training.
GYMNASTICS:
It is required for students who are in LEVEL 4, 5 and 6 gymnastics to take gymnastics twice a week and for the other levels this is also strongly recommended. Please note that it is mandatory to purchase specific gymnastics attire for the specific gymnastics levels, kindly contact the studios for more information.
COMPANY AUDITIONS 2024
COMPANY Auditions will be held at the Lavington Studio on the 31st of August. The requirements for joining the ballet company are a minimum of 2 ballet classes per week and 1 other dance style technique class (tap, jazz, contemporary, musical theatre, hip hop, dance mix, etc.) For Senior Company ladies, there is also a minimum of 1 pointe class per week, and at least one full year on pointe, and for
gentlemen a minimum of one pas de deux class per week. All company members are awarded automatic invitation to join pas de deux classes. It is important to note that if your child is signing up for the company, they are automatically signed up for the Nutcracker auditions. As a company member, participation in Nutcracker is required. Please note that while these dancers are required to come for both company and Nutcracker auditions, they only need to pay the Company audition fee.
