Is a structured syllabus used?
• A syllabus is a study guide that covers what a student should learn and when, as well as the way a step is taught. All good dance schools use a syllabus as a guideline for teaching. • Ask to see the syllabus that is used at the studio you are considering. If they dont have one you should consider going to another school. • At the Tricia Sloan Dance Center, our ballet syllabus is based on the British (Royal Academy) and Russian (Vagonova Technique). • The tap, jazz and modern syllabus are specifically designed for our students needs based on a set syllabus designed by leading dance teachers in that particular field. It is constantly being refined and is updated every year. • All of the faculty of TSDC attend several conventions each year and regularly travel to NYC and Philadelphia to study and keep up with the latest trends in dance.
