Gradings & Assessments

 

Gradings are a great way for students to track progress, receive structured feedback, and clearly understand their level. They help identify strengths and areas for improvement, and can support progression toward higher levels, including Platinum status. While optional, they are a useful tool for dancers who want clear milestones in their development.

​

Gradings are not required to move to the next level. Students may choose to book a private grading at any time if they want feedback or are aiming for a Platinum Grade.

​

During week 8 of a beginner course, teachers may briefly dance with students to assess readiness for the next level. This is an informal check only and not a formal grading.

​

Platinum Grade

Students who achieve 74% or higher in a private grading receive a Platinum Grade.

​

Platinum dancers can:

• Access lower-level classes for free when attending a higher-level class on the same night

• Reinforce fundamentals while continuing progression

• Be added to the studio Platinum list

• ​

Certificates

All successful gradings receive a certificate.
Students achieving 74% or higher receive a Platinum Certificate, available in printed or digital format upon request.

​

Platinum Levels

• Platinum Level 1: Achieved with a Platinum Grade at Level 1 (for students progressing into Level 2)

• Platinum Level 2: Achieved after completing Level 2 Improver–Intermediate modules (201–208) and receiving a Platinum Grade
   

Students from Other Schools

Students who have trained elsewhere and have not completed our beginner course may be asked to join a class for a quick in-class assessment. This helps place them in the most suitable level. There is no additional cost beyond the class fee.

​

Booking a Grading

Gradings are booked as a 50-minute private lesson.
The teacher will guide you through content, provide feedback, and support you through the assessment process.
