* ENROLMENT INTO THE RAD HIGHER GRADES (6-7-8) AND VOCATIONAL LEVELS IS RESTRICTED TO STUDENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY REACHED THESE LEVELS OR THEIR EQUIVALENT IN ANOTHER SCHOOL. The same applies to higher levels of Tap and Jazz where a sound basic training is essential to be able to participate in these classes. We are not currently able to offer recreational classes for older students as the timetable and studio space do not allow. *Students wishing to enrol in the senior school who do not meet the above criteria regarding age and prior training will be invited to attend a class with their peers, where the Artistic Director can observe the level of ability and then provide a more informed opinion regarding placement. |
