Dance-Projection Dance Projection is run by ISTD qualified teachers that love working with people. Our premises are furnished to a high quality standard. CAN WE PAY WEEKLY?

The premises consist of 3 dance studios and a waiting area for parents. The 3 dance studios are all equipped with Harlequin flooring - flooring that is used by all major dance companies, for the safety of the dancer. Our premises are set in a rural location, yet only 1.5 miles from Chelmsford on the A1060. All the teachers at Dance Projection love their jobs and do our best to get the most out of the students. We offer quality teaching to students of varying ages and ability in a friendly environment. It is our sincere hope that all dancers who enter our studios will be musically, physically and creatively inspired to carry a love of dance with them always. FAQ’s
DO WE STAY AND WATCH CLASSES? Only with the very youngest children whilst they settle in. For some this is ten minutes, others may take a couple of weeks. Parents are then invited to watch at the end of each school term, but not the summer term as this is show term. No, fees are paid in blocks of six. However all new pupils can pay weekly for the first week to try out the class first. The remainder of the block is then due on the second lesson. WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR TO THEIR FIRST LESSON? For young children attending ballet, a skirt and t-shirt or a dress and bare feet. For older children and for modern and tap a tight fitting t-shirt and leggings/tracksuit bottoms. Clothing should be comfortable but not too loose fitting or too long. For tap classes a pair of hard low heeled shoes/boots. Preferably not trainers or sandals. DO YOU OFFER EXAMS TO YOUR STUDENTS? Yes, we teach the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance syllabus or ISTD for short. The first exams are Pre-primary minimum aged of five or Primary minimum age six. Children who are doing Ballet, Modern, Tap and Commercial Street may be asked if they wish to do an exam. The examing body is the ISTD. You can find out more about the ISTD on their website www.istd.org .If your child would like to do Ballet exams then we recommend 2 classes per week if they wish to take an exam every year. If they do once a week then it may take longer to achieve the required level for the exam. Modern and tap is normally once a week and they normally reach the level if there attendance is good. Exams are taken in December and in May/June half term each year. Exams are not compulsory however it is a nice way to finish off the level to move onto the next. HOW OFTEN WILL MY CHILD TAKE AN EXAM? Usually every twelve to eighteen months depending on attendance, practise and commitment. DOES THE SCHOOL DO SHOWS? Yes, usually at the end of the summer term. DO ALL THE CLASSES TAKE PART IN THE SHOWS? Yes, from Pre-primary level up to adults. ARE ALL YOUR TEACHERS QUALIFIED? Yes, all of our teachers are qualified to teach dance and have gone through rigorous training. Due to new government requirements many of our teachers are also in the process of undergoing further training and all attend regular refresher courses to keep up to date with developments. Everyone is first aid trained aswell. ARE ALL TEACHERS INSURED AND DBS CHECKED? All our teachers are insured. It is not a legal requirement for dance teachers in the private sector to be DBS checked. However all our teachers are DBS checked purely as a gesture to parents/guardians that we take child safety and protection seriously. DBS numbers are on notice board in waiting room.

🏆 Competition Season Has Officially Begun!

What an incredible start to our competition season! This weekend, our students attended two competitions, and we couldn’t be prouder of every single one of them. ❤️

We had a few new members of our competition team take to the stage for the very first time. We know that stepping out onto that stage for the first time can be the biggest hurdle, but they went out there, gave it their absolute all🌟

A huge well done to everyone who represented us this weekend. Your hard work, dedication & passion shone through. We are proud of everything you achieved!

We always encourage our students to progress as far as possible with their examinations, as achieving the higher levels can open so many avenues for the future, particularly for those considering a career in Dance or Teaching.

We are incredibly fortunate to have the faculty and expertise at DP to train and enter students for examinations right through to the highest vocational level, Advanced 2, in Modern, Ballet and Tap.

Advanced 2 is a huge achievement in any genre, but Advanced 2 Ballet in particular requires an exceptional level of technical ability, strength, artistry and commitment, and is extremely challenging to achieve while training at a recreational dance school.

We are therefore so proud to say that both Harley and Kacey have achieved Advanced 2 in ALL THREE GENRES – Ballet, Modern and Tap! What an outstanding achievement and a testament to years of hard work, dedication and training.

A very special congratulations to Kacey, who is heading off to Laine Theatre Arts this September at just 18 years old, having achieved:

⭐ High Merit – Advanced 2 Ballet
⭐ Distinction – Advanced 2 Modern
⭐ Distinction – Advanced 2 Tap

Incredible results and such a fantastic foundation to take with her into full-time professional training.

We couldn’t be prouder of both Harley and Kacey and everything they have achieved. ❤️
