Contemporary Grades

We have run the NATD Contemporary graded syllabus since 2013 in Tunbridge Wells and across Kent.

Classes are for students aged 6 - 19 years wanting to train and achieve qualifications in Contemporary Dance through the National Association of Teachers of Dancing taking classes in grade 1 to 6, progressing onto Inter Foundation, Intermediate & Associate Levels. 

Since 2013 we have secured a 100% pass rate for all exams including a 95 % Merit - Distinction grade achievement.

Our Contemporary grade classes are primarily run on Saturdays in Tunbridge Wells through our childrens classes and youth dance class timetable.

Joining our Classes

Dancers must attend a trial session so we can assess the correct level class for them.

To join the Contemporary graded classes, dancers must attend an additional Ballet class to support them in their technique and development. This also underpins the Contemporary style.
