ISTD Dance Exams (tap, ballet & modern)

We as a school pride ourselves in offering a balance between fun and progression.

Since the school’s formation in 1981, dance exams have played a fundamental part in this, to ensure that students have structure and recognised grading to strive for. 

RPA undertake yearly exams for dance, music and drama. For the dance faculty – the longest and most established in the school – we are proud to offer ISTD syllabus and exams. The ISTD is one of the most recognised examinational bodies for dance and so we thoroughly encourage our students of all ages and abilities to undertake these.

Our next round of exams falls near the end of November. A lot of work is carried out behind the scenes for these, from both teacher and student alike. But the end goal is most definitely worth it and a great way to ensure the progression of the dancer.

As always, more details will be sent out in due course via email so parents and carers please make sure you’ve ticked us off as ‘safe’ on your inbox and look out for your child’s timing.

Watching Week @ RPA

We’re planning a Watching Week on the w/c 20th November 2023. This is where parents and carers of the student can come and witness what goes on inside the studio, led by our qualified, professional and passionate teachers!

So many parents over the years have found these open weeks to be of use, where they can come into the studio and see what has been learnt and improved upon.

It’s a great opportunity to see what goes on in an average RPA lesson. Students get a real buzz from having an audience – the performing arts are meant to be shared, after all!

More details will follow in subsequent emails from Roynon HQ.

We hope you can make it and join us in celebrating what our lovely school has been up to.
