Modern/jazz
Free style jazz offered as an extra class to existing ballet students from primary 3/4 (grade 1)

Saturday class & pointe
A more technical class by invitation for those wishing to progress further and take RAD examinations and prepare for pointe work,

ASSESSMENT
Progression of the children will be monitored by school arranged assessments on the RAD Syllabus and class work. These will result in a medal & certificate from Andrea Mannion Dance School and not the RAD.
RAD exams will be considered for anyone wishing to do so with the necessary extra classes, preferably from Grade 3 upwards, or by request. Examinations are not compulsory but are offered to each class when appropriate. Please encourage your child to practice at home and attend regularly.

Poor attendance leads to lack of confidence & disruption to individual & class progress.

CHILD PROTECTION
The safety and well fare of all pupils is of utmost importance.
Staff hold enhanced disclosures & GDPR is adhered to.
Parents please ensure that all children change in the allocated areas and
not in public places. Parents should not wait in dressing areas.
