Exam Classes:
these classes cater to our
dedicated, elite students who
represent DI in various Eisteddfods,
performance’s & displays
throughout the year. Classes are
divided into age groups. Students
may attend 2 age group
performance teams, their age & 1
above.
It is a prerequisite that ALL
performance team students be
taking an exam class. This ensures
that our performance teams
maintain the high standard Dance
Industry delivers. Exam classes are a
grading system that teaches
technique, foundations of dance,
confidence in performing and more;
giving students something to work
for individually.
The age is decided as of 1st of
January 2016. Seven year olds at
1/1/16 = 8 years performance.
Those who do not wish to take the
exam classes need to be attending a
‘general’ class as apposed to a
‘performance team’ class.
