Event details
We have an exciting day planned for both students, professionals and teachers, led by a wonderful group of industry experts, world champions and expert examiners.
During the day you will have opportunities to observe, dance, discuss, analyze, and catch up with friends and colleagues.
Workshops will cover a wide range of content - from how to present yourself for an examination, to the importance of technique and Latin variations.
This is a great opportunity to come together as a community, to network and share good practice. So book today, so that you don't miss out.
