Jan McNulty Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Hello @findtherealexit and welcome to the Forum! I've added the tag "Hammond" to the top of the thread. If you click on that it brings up earlier threads but many of them seem to be about lower school. You may however find useful information in them.

Holly Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 For the dance diploma they do a few classes (jazz, contemporary and ballet), physical assessment, perform a solo and have an interview. The solo can be any genre and is 1.30m dd is in year 11 at the Hammond so I didn’t really have a lot to do with it to be honest because she is up there and sorted it all out herself! This was how it was this year. She enjoyed the audition. There are taster days around November that might be of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my DD said this is just stretching and mobility exercises done as part of one of the audition classes. No special 1:1 appointments.
