ABOUT US

Welcome to the AB School of Dance! With classes ranging from 6 months to adulthood, our timetable provides a fun and positive environment that allows you or your child to develop confidence and skill. From ballet to street dance, we offer a wide range of styles so there is something for everyone.

Working towards exciting shows and BBO dance examinations, we run weekly classes at different venues and times to suit you. Not forgetting the exclusive opportunities and bonus dance experiences we run for our pupils!

EXAMS

We follow the BBO dance (previously known as the British Ballet Organisation) syllabus, which focuses on technique, artistry and performance skills. 


Students will be given the opportunity to take exams if the teachers believe they are ready in time for the examination sessions. It is not mandatory for students to take the exams but we strongly recommend and encourage examinations as they are beneficial to the pupils for many reasons including improving confidence, technique, gaining rewards for their hard work, recognising their progress and giving them the qualifications to continue into the professional industry if they wish to do so. The higher levels of the examinations also carry UCAS points which is extremely beneficial for students taking GCSEs and A Levels.


The fees for the exams are set by BBO dance, which will be alongside teaching costs, room hire and admin costs. If a pupil is put forward for an exam, the costs, dates and any other information will be distributed as far in advance as possible.

Costumes are selected and ordered by the school and invoices are distributed to parents/guardians. These costumes are then kept by the students.


Costs, dates and any other information will be communicated around showtime each year.
