April School Holidays Week 2 - Monday 8 April to Friday 12 April 2024
CONDITIONS OF ENTRY - Please read the Terms and Conditions on the course brochure and at the bottom of the page prior to entering.
ABOUT
Classes focus on coaching the syllabus and are a great way to prepare before RAD exams, to keep up fitness during the school holidays, and to further refine ballet technique.
Be quick - classes limited to 25 students each
Register ASAP and before Monday 1 April at 8:00am
Please note, students can attend the course even if they don't have full knowledge of their level yet. Students are welcome to attend as long as they can copy/follow along with the other students and don’t expect to be taught the syllabus – the examiners are coaching rather than teaching.
