Ex-Professional Course

Professional dancers and teachers have always felt welcome at Kate Simmons Schools. The one-year course has helped many dancers make the transition from stage to professional teaching and can be tailored to suit the individual.

Some purely classical dancers wish to work for the major ballet exams and Cecchetti Associate - whereas others opt to try modern, tap or spanish plus ballet - therefore qualifying on two subjects. A lot of professionals have been out of touch with children and students dance for many years and welcome the oppotunity to work with the Lower School. Included in the associate classes are child development, choreography and voice tuition. Even though many professionals have done a certain amount of teaching, the course enables them to develop their eye for correction and learn a structured development programme of dance training.
