Classes
Turn their energy into rewards!
At ZC Dance we provide examination and performance opportunities in all dance genres so that your child has the chance to further build self esteem and receive recognition for their dedication to dance. Examinations and performances provide dancers with an opportunity to show what they have achieved and receive a reward. Dancers can collect certificates and trophies and some of the higher level examinations are eligible for conversion into UCAS points to support University applications.
All of our examinations and performances are optional so that students wishing to take them can but no dancer is pressured. Due to the universality of the syllabi, our classes are perfect for students who wish to progress as dancers and work towards having a career in dance and are equally as great for those who dance to have fun, exercise and make new friends. Our dance school is committed to making all classes motivating and fun for all students, no matter their reason for wanting to dance.
For our examinations we are proud to follow both the National Association of Teachers of Dancing (NATD) and UKA Dance Syllabus for our classes.
