Tring Upper School Dance Course

[sarahw]

Hi

 

I wonder if anyone can clarify the diversion into Classical Dance and Dance after the 1st sixth form year? Do the students choose which option they take or do school? Essentially if you wanted to do the Classical Dance course could that be declined?

 

Thanks

Hi Sarah. This is what I know:

 

6:1 is a common year with all dancers doing the same mix of classes.  This is called foundation year. The year is streamed though into F:1 and F:2 based on their classical standard.  People are not stuck in the class they are initially set into, they can move up or down. 

 

There are 2 lots of assessments in the year, November and I think May.  Students pretty much choose which stream they want to enter for 6:2, classical or dance.  However, they do have to pass the assessment to go onto their chosen course.  If they pass both they can choose,  the school may make a recommendation but it's up to the student. 6:2 is also streamed and the classes are taken With the 3rd year upper school dancers.  The classes are C:1, C:2, D:1,D:2.

 

Hope that helps.
