A Syllabus home practice booklet is provided at no cost to each of our Academy’s students in Grade classes as our gift to insure the best standard and success is met by each student. All students are required to do home practice and the booklets have all the information needed to complete this task.  For the parent’s benefit the notes include the quality of expression and movement needed along with technical hints to insure safe practice and execution of the work.

Reaching for Excellence

To reach for excellence home practice is needed as it strengthens the achievements and improvements for all students.  The goal for dancers is to share the beauty and emotions of their work and interpretation of the music through performance with audiences, making the hours of hard work to achieve the effortless quality while performing rewarding to both the dancer and audience.  We are proud of these extra efforts that the students give to their work and applaud their efforts.  We look forward to seeing their work in our Mock exam performance practices.  Remember to clean ballet shoes with leather cleaner, ensure the leotard is in very good condition with its belt and purchase new tights and socks now in preparation for the Mock exams.

Mock Examination Practices for candidates will be held at the studio on Saturday Mar 6 & 27 Pre-Primary 3:30-4:30, Primary 4:30-5:30, Grade 1 5:30-6:30 and Grade 2 6:30-7:30.  The pianist is Mr. Brian Butcher.  All candidates must arrive early in preparation for the scheduled times and full Exam dress requirements and hairstyles are expected.
