hair net, and gel with you. Miss Renee can help with the bun.
PROCEDURE: 1) The student will be fully prepared and groomed.
2) The Examiner rings her bell; the student enters the Exam Room, greets the Examiner with a curtsey to the Left “Good Morning Mrs. Oldaker and the pianist with a curtsey to the Right “Good Morning Mrs. Fraser”.
The student is being evaluated by the Examiner at the point she enters the Exam Room until she exits. The student is being graded to a International Standard so consequently the grading standards are very high. Students are evaluated on specific dance knowledge, dance skill ability, neatness and grooming, behaviour and manners, personality, presentation, style and showmanship.
4) Once the technical exam components are completed, the student thanks the pianist ‘Thank you Mrs. Fraser,” and the examiner “Thank you Mrs. Oldaker,” exiting the Exam Room when the examiner instructs.
*NOTE: The Examiner is a special guest of the studio and must be considered as such at all times. Please remember that all Examiners are simply people who have come to share their dance experience especially with you! They are looking for a performers attitude which reflects sincerity, discipline, respect and above all, your love of dance and performing for them. Your best performance is all that matters. GOOD LUCK!!!!
