RECITAL

As spring approaches, classes begin working towards our end of year presentation. A performance in front of family and friends is an exciting way to finish off the season, and an opportunity for students to show off their steps! Our performance will take place June 2004.

DANCE EXAMS

Serious dancers who study either Tap or Modern Theatre will have the opportunity to work towards participation in dance exams with the Imperial Society for Teachers of Dancing (I.S.T.D). This society is based out of London, England and is an internationally acclaimed organization. Private lessons are also available.
