Dance Education for
Year Seven - Nine Children

Students in Years 7 to 9 at Karen Blackburn Dance Academy enjoy a comprehensive and diverse curriculum, offering a wide range of classes across multiple dance genres to provide a broad and well-rounded dance education.

At this stage, dancers working at the RAD Grade 4 level have the opportunity to progress into the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Intermediate Foundation vocational grades, deepening their classical ballet training and technical skills.

​

To support individual development and exam preparation, private coaching sessions are available for Ballet, Tap, and Modern dance, allowing students to receive tailored guidance and refine their technique under expert instruction.

​

Supplementary Sunday Studio sessions provide additional opportunities to explore new styles, deepen skills, and enhance performance confidence, complementing the weekday classes and enriching the overall dance experience.

​

KBDA continues to offer assessments and examinations across various dance styles, but participation remains optional, aligning with each dancer’s personal goals and aspirations.

​

With a strong emphasis on technical excellence, creativity, and performance, our Year 7 to 9 programme nurtures dancers’ growth and prepares them for advanced training opportunities, while fostering a lifelong love of dance within a supportive and inspiring environment.
