(As this is an exam year we may have to add an extra short term depending on exam dates)

Classes marked with a * will be preparing for an exam in 2027 however not every child will be ready to take an exam. Students that do not take exams will move up a grade next year with their friends.  Students may have to take extra classes on another day in order to be exam ready.  Attendance is crucial for students who will be taking exams.

**Acro is only available to students who already take at least 1 other class per week with EMDA in a different style.

***EMDA Elevate Progression Programme is invite only, however feel free to get in touch if your child is seriously considering a career in dance! (age 12+)
