In our Grade 1 modern classes, children learn basic modern dance technique and movements as well as improving strength, flexibility and stamina. Artistic quality and musical awareness are also developed, focusing on contrasts in music and style.
Children work towards their ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance) Grade 1 modern examination. In addition, we are sometimes able to offer our modern students the opportunity to take a freestyle modern dance examination.
At this level it is compulsory to learn Primary or Grade 1 tap alongside modern in order to develop rhythm and timing. Children can also choose to attend our Junior Street classes.
After taking their Grade 1 modern examination, children move into Grade 2 modern. At this time, girls also start Commercial / Street dancing classes and boys move up into Boys Street (II).
