No dancer should neglect their classes due to an overload of homework or study. If you, the pupil, listen attentively in your school classroom, your schoolwork will not seem so overwhelming. 

Keep your homework up to date; do it as soon as possible and do not allow it to pile up. 

Do regular study hours in free time to avoid having to take time off dancing due to the need to study a year’s work in one day. Try to avoid arranging time to do research/study work on days that you know are your dancing days.

It is not necessary to give up your dancing in the year of your grade twelve. You have made it so far and you will make it during this year, because you have trained yourself to do so.

Do not allow people to stress you out about grade twelve. It is no different from any other year at school.

Keep your mind active by a diverse programme, instead of clogging it shut with only academics.

Grade twelve work is very much revision on work you have already done and passed. It may be much more work, but remember you have already mastered all this work.

Start regular study hours at the beginning of the year and you will be fine.

Sport is a good and a healthy pastime, but it can clash with the dancing classes as events.

Avoid on too many sporting activities and decide which is more important to you.

There are times when you have to choose between sport and your dancing. Should you be keen on doing sport, try to choose one that would not interfere with your dancing.

The Academy will not be shifting classes around to accommodate the sport as each pupil is involved in a different sport and accommodating everyone is absolutely impossible.

Classes are set and pre-arranged and anyone wishing to do sport as well as dance must work out their own programme in order to do this.
