SCHOOL POLICY

At Kate’s School of Dance, we offer enjoyable and structured lessons in a supportive and friendly atmosphere. All students are encouraged to the best of their ability. Our goal is to engage young children’s imagination and instil a love of dance. Dance is an art form and children are encouraged to pursue which ever form of dance they enjoy.

We follow the voluntary code of conduct set by the Council for Dance Education and Training (please refer to www.cdet.org.uk for more information).

We promote equal opportunities and take a positive approach to learning, building confidence in a supportive environment.

We follow assessment criteria set by the Royal Academy of Dance, Lafour Prima Dance and Jill Bridger’s Melody Bear Syllabus®.
