We are excited to introduce ADAPT Ballet exams to our program for the Spring of 2023.
Why exams?
Exams and the examination process encourage every student to work harder so they may achieve their best personal potential. Exams are a “goal” setter with a focus on proper technique. They are a memorable experience and present an opportunity for students to be critiqued and evaluated by professional dance master examiners on a yearly basis.
Who can do their ballet exams?
Dancers in Pre Inter levels and above are invited to participate.
When will dancers learn the exam material?
The ballet exam material will be taught and reinforced from February to June during the dancer’s regular ballet classes. Dancers will then have exam specific classes Fridays nights.
What does the exam timelines/schedule look like?
Is there opportunity for my dancer to have more classes in preparation for exams?
Yes, we have a pre inter bonus ballet class on Tuesday nights from 7:15-8:00 that your dancer can join.
What is the attire for exams?
Ballet exams will require, matching bodysuits, ballet tights and ballet slippers (or black shorts and a fitted tank top with black ballet slippers).
My dancer is interested, how do I sign up and when is the deadline?
Dancers can be registered for exams through our online parent portal (search ADAPT Ballet exams). The deadline to register is May 1st.
If my dancer isn’t interested in taking exams, why do they need to learn the exam material in class?
The material that we will be teaching in class is in alignment with the material currently taught in their class. Your dancer will continue to progress through our regular curriculum as per normal.
What is the cost of the exam?
The cost of the exam will be shared closer to the date- it depends on the number of students participating. The cost will range between $90-$120. Friday night exam classes will be no additional cost, our teachers volunteer their time for these sessions.
Turner Danceworks is an ADAPT certified studio. We offer our students the opportunity to take their Jazz and Tap ADAPT exams.
Why should you take exams?
The examination process encourages each and every student to work harder with a focus on technique. Students focus on achieving their best personal potential. Dancers who participate in exams see exponential growth in their dance technique and ability.
Dancers are invited to participate in exams. If you are new to our studio or are interested in taking your exams, please contact Miss Kris and Miss Sam.
Exam classes begin early fall with the exams taking place in December.
