Ballet
Miss Shannon is a HUGE advocate for the benefits of Classical Ballet. Ballet forms the foundation of all styles of dance. It improves posture, alignment, coordination, strength and flexibility.
Miss Shannon’s Dance Stream follows the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Syllabus. The Royal Academy of Dance is one of the largest and most influential dance education organisations in the world. The syllabus is taught to more than a quarter of a million students worldwide and has been designed to give the necessary training to students wishing to study seriously with a possible view to following a career in dance or dance related subjects. Miss Shannon is a registered RAD teacher and has completed the Professional Dancer’s Postgraduate Teaching Certificate (PDPTC). Examination opportunities are available for students who commit to two or more ballet classes a week. We hope to add more ballet classes to the MSDS schedule as our ballet program grows.
