In order to qualify for pointe work the student needs to have teacher approval and needs to be taking a minimum to two ballet technique classes per week.
In order to qualify for the prestigious Royal Academy of Dance exams, any student above the level of Primary is required to attend 2xs per week. And they need teacher approval. To read more about the Royal Academy of Dance and the exam process please visit royalacademyofdance.org. It is a very beneficial program in which the children always learn so much!
Beginning in Grade 1, students who take class 1x per week will take two years to advance to the next level unless they receive teacher permission to move up.
Please be on time to class. Students who arrive 10 minutes or later after class has begun can sit and watch the class.
Parents! When watching class please do not converse with your child who is taking class. You need to be silent observers so as not to distract them or take away from the authority of the instructor.
