I.S.T.D Classes at The Mandaleigh Studios
At The Mandaleigh Studios, our Imperial & Cecchetti Ballet classes, Modern Theatre classes and Tap classes all follow the I.S.T.D. syllabi. Students are invited to take either Graded examinations or Class examinations but they are not compulsory.
The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance syllabi are fun and enjoyable for younger students and provide a good and clear progression for students who continue their training to Intermediate and Advanced levels.
Some Imperial Ballet students, after some time in a pre-pointe work class, are invited to purchase their pointe shoes. Class teachers will decide when each individual student is ready.
Cecchetti classes are offered on an invitation basis to students Grade 2 and over.
The I.S.T.D. Modern Theatre and Tap syllabi are a lot of fun, they are very interactive and have varying styles of music for students to become familiar with throughout their dancing time.
In all genres of class, students will learn all about different rhythms they are dancing to and will either clap these rhythms or, in younger Grades, having great fun using instruments!
