MOCK Assessment timetable (Saturday, 10 June 2017).
Mock assessments & exams are compulsory & hugely beneficial to rehearse the examination protocol (see below) & ensure polished, fast & smooth examination day. The mock exam will simulate exam day & dancers receive no assistance from their teachers. Feedback is provided on their knowledge of exercises & where/how to stand throughout (which requires no talking & best behaviour).
All students MUST arrive 15mins beforehand, so you are prepared & we can keep on schedule.
Please meet in studio 2. We will need a parent helper for each group to attach numbers & help prepare dancers so we stay to the time schedule below. You will see your teacher only briefly before the start time below.
