Assuming a student has sat their Pre-primary or Primary level Ballet assessment in the ASPIRE level, are continuing with their Grade 1 Ballet exam in the POISE level, and have reached the required standard and maturity within their classes, they will be invited to join our ELITE COMPETITION TEAM in our 8 & under level.
Our Elite Competition Team students will train in an extra 60 min class per week as they learn 3 routines which will be performed at two main competitions for the year. Two of these routines will then be showcased at our end of year performance in December. Along with all students within our POISE level being celebrated at our presentation evening in December as they graduate into our next GRACE level and are awarded their certificate and medal, our Elite Competition Team and Ballet Exam students will also be acknowledged with their commitment to these extra classes and associated accomplishments.
Students in our POISE level will have increased opportunities available to them as the year progresses with access to in-house student’s own Choreography Competition and our Summer Intensive with industry-renowned teachers in January the following year.
