Examination
Students are prepared for examination and class awards in the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus. Examinations are optional but highly recommended as they encourage both student and teachers to work towards achievable goals and help foster confidence, sound technique and performance skills. The RAD syllabus and examinations are recognised internationally and RAD examiners from all over the world visit Ireland to assess students. Participation in examinations is at the teacher’s discretion.
Shows
The School holds shows regularly in professional venues including The Civic Theatre, Tallaght & The Pavillion Theatre, Dun Laoghaire. Our past productions have included 'The Enchanted Forest' , 'Cinderella' , 'A Magical Adventure’, 'The Magic of Musicals' and 'A Night at the Movies'. The shows are also optional but are always greatly enjoyed by all participants.
