How Students Progress
Year Groups - ENCORE classes are grouped by school year. Teachers adapt the dance, drama, and LAMDA work so students who are new to the subject feel welcomed and supported, while returning students continue to grow in confidence and skill.
Private Lessons - For students wanting additional support or extension, one-to-one instruction in both dance and LAMDA may be possible, depending on teacher and student availability.
