Examinations
Students take exams regularly with the IDTA, ARBTA and IBDP. With a 100% pass rate for all exam sessions taken to date the school is really encouraging the natural talent of local children. We also encourage teacher training and professional examinations.
Performance Opportunities
Our school performances of “Dancing Dreams” have shown the success of the school. Performance opportunities are vital for all children learning to dance. We at the Daisy School of Dance take every opportunity big or small to allow our students to perform. Our school shows star everyone in the school from tiny tots to senior students and guest artists.
Competitions
The Irish National Ballet Competition and The National Dance Championships have brought great success to our school. These competitions offer all involved a great opportunity to prepare classwork and / or solo variations to present to an audience and adjudicators. Meeting dancers from all over the country also leads to new friends and new supports amongst the dancers.
Workshops / Camps
The Daisy School of Dance recognise the importance of working with various teachers and trying various dance styles. For this reason, we run camps and workshops with many guest teachers and artists for the students to meet, talk to and be thought by.
