WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE A COMDANCE SCHOOL?
​
All COMDANCE teachers must meet rigorous standards to become accredited members and examiners are also trained specifically in the ‘COMDANCE way’. That is friendly, encouraging, compassionate and professional. COMDANCE teachers can access syllabi to help develop a triple threat performer.
WHY ARE EXAMS IMPORTANT?
Parents often ask ‘why do exams’? They are concerned that exams might lead to pressure on their child. But there are many life lessons and positives that come from undertaking exams. Exams are a major form of recognition of a universal standard in the dance world. They help students develop confidence and prepare them for some of the more intimidating experiences in life like job interviews, school exams or walking into a crowd of strangers.
ARE EXAMS HARD WORK?
​
Exams take commitment, dedication, ambition and hard work over a sustained period and they develop a great deal of self-satisfaction. Most importantly, they encourage resilience, a strong, developmental technique and a sense of achievement.
