- Examinations:
- All bbodance Examinations scheduled to take place between 5 January and 25 February 2021 have now been postponed.
- Due to the current pandemic, we feel it is not possible or appropriate to schedule Live Examinations at this time. We will continue to monitor any changes and let everyone know once restrictions have been eased.
- We're currently accepting new and rescheduled Applications for Examinations to take place after February half term in England (15-19 February); we will be guided by Government announcements as to whether these sessions can go ahead.
- The Digital Classical Ballet Vocational Examination session originally planned for March will now take place between 2 and 30 April, with a closing date of 12 March. All Registered Teachers have received guidelines on how to apply.
- We will follow the same strategy for Examinations outside England. Once restrictions lift sufficiently, we will process Examination requests as swiftly as possible.
