Here at BPDC we are all about Passion without the Pressure. Therefore we offer students the opportunity to take exams IF they wish to take them. We do offer British Theatre Dance Association examinations in Ballet, Lyrical and Acro. The exams offer a wonderful opportunity for the students to work towards and gain confidence when they receive their certificates and medals. However please remember that these are not compulsory.

Towards the end of each term we invite the parents, family and friends into watch class to see what we have been learning. It's a great opportunity for the students to perform to an audience in preparation for our annual show which is always a highlight of the year!
