Careers leading on from Dance:
How parents can support their children
Dance kit is compulsory and although dance shoes are optional, these can however have a big impact on your child’s performance. Dance shoes are available through school at a discounted rate to dance suppliers.
The more practical experience, the better. Encourage your child to attend school dance club and, where possible, external dance lessons.
Encourage your child to watch back all shared performance videos and analyse their performance.
Ensure they are keeping up to date with fortnightly dance diaries, analysing their strengths and weaknesses.
Encourage your child to attend all theatre and college trips we run as well as any additional dance workshops.
