Overview
About graded examinations
Exams give students clear goals, recognised qualifications and a real sense of achievement. Our associated boards are RAD, ISTD and TDSC, so every student can follow a clear, respected pathway.
Exams are always optional. You can take our examination classes purely for the technique and never sit an exam if you would rather not.

What families say
In their own words
“Absolutely fantastic dance school, my daughter has been there since she was 3 she is now 6 and has had so many opportunities including competitions, shows and this weekend even dancing at The Kings Theatre, London. She has grown from a shy 3 year old to a confident 6 year old. Thoroughly recommend.”
Parent of a Minis student
“We could not recommend Amelia K Academy enough. Our daughter has been with Amelia and her team for five years, and has thrived here. Amelia and her team provide the best atmosphere, a warm environment, amazing opportunities and they allow the children to flourish in the world of performing arts. The academy genuinely feels like a second family to us - if we could give this more than five stars we would!”
