Age
Children are generally placed with their age group, starting with Primary at the age of 6 years. The Imperial Society has age guidelines for grades (required for examinations) which have been designed to work with the natural development of the child. New pupils will be advised of the correct grade for their age and experience.

Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance Examinations
Examinations at all grades are optional and any pupils who do not wish to take examinations will move up with their group to the next class, following the examination session. For those pupils who do wish to take examinations it is expected that they have studied the syllabus for at least a year, have good attendance and are committed to home practice.

Jazz
After completing Grade 3 Modern, students are offered the opportunity to experience Jazz classes, beginning with the Bronze Jazz Award from the ISTD.
