Supplementary training in Pas de Deux (by invitation only), Pointe-work, Virtuosity, Solos, Repertoire, Drama, Pilates and Singing is also provided, along with the opportunity to pursue syllabus examinations in Ballet (RAD & Cecchetti), Modern (ISTD) and Tap (ISTD).
The Senior Dance Course has an annual show at the end of the Summer Term in a professional theatre and at Tring Park's own Markova Theatre. This prestigious event includes work by internationally recognized choreographers and gives every pupil the opportunity to experience performing in a variety of dance styles.
Our pupils are formally assessed twice a year in the three core subjects of Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz. After the assessment each dancer is given one-to-one personal feedback from their teacher provide guidance in identifying strengths, areas for improvement and goals.
At the end of the Fifth Form (Year 11) a careful discussion between the School, parents and pupil takes place to select the most appropriate course for the Sixth Form. We would hope that most pupils will have acquired the physical skills and physique that are appropriate to continue on the Senior Dance Course, however, some pupils may prefer to follow either the Musical Theatre or Drama Courses also available at Tring Park.
