She made a 5 year olds party so stress free and we were very, very impressed with how quickly she memorised all the girls name! The other parents were also very impressed and said it was the best party they’d been to with their daughters. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Alex and Just Dance, think you will definitely get some repeat business from today’s party.

Modern Grades with ISTD

Primary Modern

This is the children’s first opportunity to take an exam, usually held at the end of Year 1 but could be as early as the end of Reception. 

Children go into the exam room in a group of 3 to 5 children, with their dance teacher. There will also be the examiner in the room along with a lady controlling the iPod with the usual syllabus music playing through speakers. The exam will take roughly 20 to 30 minutes.

Grade 1 Modern

This is now entering the Graded work and the examiner is expecting to see a good use of technique with full knowledge of the syllabus. For all the grades children will usually enter the exam room in groups of 4 ideally and without the teacher. This exam can be taken as early as the end of Year 1 but usually the end of Year 2 or later depending on the class ability.
