Examination Day. A Journey of Ballet

A New Chapter: Our First Video Examination

Examination Day always brings excitement and anticipation. This year felt especially memorable for our school because the IDTA chose us to take part in a video ballet examination for the very first time. We also scheduled the exam session unusually early in the academic year, which created a unique and rewarding challenge for everyone involved.

Returning After Summer with Determination

After the long summer break, children usually need time to refresh their memory and regain their rhythm. However, this year our students returned remarkably prepared and confident. From the very first class, they dived straight into their ballet routines with focus and enthusiasm. Their readiness was a result of their dedication — many of them continued to practise throughout the summer using our Virtual Home Studio, which kept their skills sharp and spirits high.

Six Weeks of Focused Preparatio

The six weeks of final preparation passed quickly as we focused on refining ballet technique and deepening knowledge. Excitement built up in every class, and the atmosphere was filled with motivation and support.

Overcoming Nerves and Finding Confidence

The day before the examination, we received a heartfelt message from a parent whose child was feeling anxious about performing. These moments remind us that every student’s emotional journey is different, and understanding those differences is an important part of our teaching philosophy. With a little conversation and encouragement, she found her confidence — and, to our delight, every single student took part and performed beautifully on the day.

From the Youngest to the Most Experienced

Our youngest participant was just four years old, and we are especially proud of her courage and achievement. At the other end of the spectrum, our Grade 3 student, who also completed her final exam with us this year, deserves warm congratulations for her dedication. It’s bittersweet to say goodbye as she moves on, and we wish her every success in her future.

Awaiting Results with Pride

The examination will be assessed by our appointed examiner from Cyprus, and we are eagerly awaiting the results. Regardless of the outcome, we could not be prouder of our students’ hard work, resilience, and positive spirit.

A Heartfelt Thank You

A huge thank you goes out to all the parents for their continued support, encouragement, and belief in their children. Congratulations once again to everyone who took part in this year’s examination — you have made us all proud!
