Medal Test
Weekend.
Each year we hold our Medal Test weekend at Hawkins Theatre in Papakura, giving all students from Pre-Schoolers to Seniors, the opportunity to gain valuable stage experience and encouragement.
Medal Test also helps dancers build confidence in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and gives our junior students the opportunity to watch senior dancers, competition pupils and teachers perform on stage.
All exam students are able to practice their exam dance in preparation for sitting their exam in September and even if you're not sitting an exam, we offer a range of self-choreography classes.
All dancers who take part will receive something and we also have many trophies for special awards.
On the day
Checking in
Everyone must check in to the dressing room nearest the stage 15 mins before they are scheduled to dance.
Music
For non-exam classes, music needs to be uploaded for us to play.
What to wear
For exam classes, dancers are expected to wear their set exam uniform if they have one. Dancers in beginners, competition, impromptu and self-choreography classes may wear a costume of their own choice of comfortable dancewear.
Videos and Photos
Parents and family members are more than welcome to take videos and photos of their superstars on stage!
Refreshments
A kitchen will be running all weekend offering delicious light meals and refreshments.
