Well done everyone who completed their dance exams! Lets all congratulate your little ballerinas 🙂
“Never give up on your dreams” like Felicie from movie “Ballerina”. We are happy to invite all our adorable ballerinas to take part in the upcoming performance.
Participation in the stage performance is a great way to build a
child’s confidence and improve their self-esteem along with overcoming
shyness. It also gives them an enjoyable and unforgettable experience
to display their talent.
Addressfor Rehearsal and Stage Show : Theatre Hall. Chobham Academy, 40 Cheering Ln, East Village, London E20 1BD.
To have a glance behind the scenes at preparation for one of our Stage Shows please watch our short video on YouTube
To attend the performance, tickets are required (note: your don’t need to buy a ticket for the actual participant/student, only for parents and visitors)
Kids under three years old attend for free, but will need to sit on your lap. Please note: The tickets you purchase online will be handed out to you on the day of the performance. This year we have a limited number of tickets available, so if you haven’t purchased yours yet please do it shortly.
Tickets will be available to buy online only until17th of June.
Here is some information you need to know about the performance.
The performance usually combines:
A Ballet Demonstration – with participation of
all our students, to show their learning achievements. Kids who
prepared for their ballet exams will demonstrate the exercises from the
exams, so you will have the opportunity to see their skills.
A Short interval. So kids have time to change into their special dance costumes.
Show time –
This is the actual stage show, where kids will be dressed up in
lovely costumes and dance on stage. Unlike most of other dance schools
in UK we don’t ask our students to buy stage costumes (which are
generally £40-£50 each) to participate in a show. We offer our
children free use of costumes on the day of the performance . The
costumes will be handed out to children on the dress rehearsal and must
be returned to the school staff straight after the performance. The
failure to return the outfits will lead to a replacement cost of £50.00 per costume.
After the “Show time” each child will be required to come back and put
their costume into a bag allocated to them, so we can confirm that
the costume with all its accessories is there.
Uniform.
You can prepare kids with nice makeup, using lipstick, eyeliner, mascara etc., as they are now performing artists! Uniform: Ballet
outfit, Ballet Shoes, Ballet Tights and Pink Hairnet. Ballet uniform
should be clean and ironed to present a very nice professional look. Their Hair should
be properly brushed and tied back in a bun. Use many hair clips and
hair gel to make their hairstyle neat and pretty. Please use the pink
hairnet. Here is a photo of the correct hairstyle.
Jewelry must not be worn during the rehearsal and performance!
Please supply your child with a bottle of water during the performance, as it is a very long day. Write the name of your child on a bottle. (No juice or food is allowed, as kids can make spots on costumes and damage them.
Photography.
This year we have once again invited a professional photography
company, who specializes in Quality Photography of Children, to ensure
you can get beautiful photos of your child from the show. Professional
portraits will be taken in their costumes during and after the
performance. The photos will be then available for purchasing online.
Buying photographs is entirely optional. Please note: occasionally we
might use photos for our school promotion and marketing purposes.
You are welcome to take photos and short videos of your child
dancing on stage during the performance, however please do this from
your seat, and be respectful to other parents around you. Please don’t put photographs on a social media platforms (unless it is a photo of your own child) .
Pushchairs and Buggies .
Unfortunately due to the fire regulations of the Chobham Academy
pushchairs and buggies are not allowed to the theatre (you can leave
them in a cafe area of the school) . Therefore we advise to bring with
you a sling or carrier for your baby.
Parking.
Parking spaces at the academy are limited, however you can also park
in Westfield Stratford City Shopping centre, which is approximately 10
min walk.
Please bring your child to the event 30 min before the
performance, fully dressed in the clean ballet uniform and with perfect
hairstyle!
We are looking forward to see all our students on stage
Dance exams and assessments motivate and reward students of all ages and abilities, they:
Help to bust students’ confidence.
Allow candidates to demonstrate their progress.
They gain a real sense of personal achievement.
Receive feedback on where they can improve.
Students work more enthusiastically and hard during their lessons to aim towards achieving a high result.
Candidates who did the exam are very proud of themselves.
The earlier exams aren’t too pressurized, but it does help them prepare for the more serious and stringent advanced exams.
The certificates issued by IDTA Governing body is recognised worldwide.
Exams are a big feature in the calendar of Lyric Dance School and are performed once a year.
The children look forward to this exiting event.
Students love to receive their certificates of achievement!
When students, who did their exam, come back to the next academic
year they show great pride in announcing “I am a real ballerina now”
If the dance teacher confirmed that your child is ready to do the exam this year, we would highly recommend taking it, so your little ballerina can enjoy all these benefits.

We are thrilled and honored that Lyric Dance School has been recognized by the prestigious ‘Premium’ magazine, which highlights the best lifestyle brands, businesses and products for discerning individuals.
This month Lyric dance school and our principal Ms Anastasia, was the subject of a feature article, as one of their favorite educational institutions for children. The article is written in Russian, and talks about the benefits of learning Ballet and how the classes build foundations for confidence, discipline, and physical agility.
For the many Russian speaking parents we have, a link to the article is here. Page 62.

Happy Halloween ! Just a reminder that there are no classes this week during the half term break, but you can still get them to practice their current exercises if they want to get a treat instead of a trick 😉
Hope you have fun carving pumpkins and parties with the family. To get you into the mood, here is one of our favorite pictures from our 2016 stage show, with two of our students Daria & Antonina (now they are doing Grade 1 Ballet) from our Kingston branch, dressed up in costume as witches before their dance.
Our new academic year has started this week, and the Lyric Dance School team are excited to welcome back all our existing students, and look forward to meeting our new students.
The photo is of our Grade 1 Ballerinas from the summer stage show of 2017. With some of them commencing dance classes with us five years ago, its so nice to see them growing professionally
