Students can attend Grade One Modern Theatre class from six years of age and progress through to Grade Six, offering students a total of six levels to master and obtain. The purpose of each graded level is to offer a platform of reaching a certain acquired standard, marked by a recruited Examiner from the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance.

Students will demonstrate a natural progression in standard and technical accuracy of the syllabus settings, which increase in complexity and demand.

The key focus of the graded modern theatre classes is to*:

– Teach the correct posture of the syllabus settings

– Develop students’ range of movements within their own natural capabilities

– Build on sound technique throughout

– Promote students’ understanding and use of dance terminology

– Gain a grounded sense of self-expression and communication

– Encourage students’ to be creative in their approach with self-confidence in the performance of a solo

* as stated on the ISTD website

Classes run from 30 – 45 minutes in length, once a week and parents are invited once a term to watch a class is action as we feel it’s important to see students’ progression and level of engagement and enjoyment in the class. This is a wonderful experience for parents and a lovely end to each term.

To run alongside Modern Theatre class, students have the opportunity to attend our ‘Conditioning, Flexibility and Strengthening Class’ (CFS); designed to compliment and further assist in students’ progression and standard. Want to read more about our CFS class? CLICK HERE
