Saint Lucian Dancers Excel in Examinations

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he International Dance and Drama Institute of St. Lucia (formerly known as the St. Lucia School of Ballet & Modern Dance) recognises and honours the achievements of students who, for the academic year September 2017 to July 2018, dedicated themselves to the discipline and study of the international dance syllabi of the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD UK) in Classical Ballet and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD UK) in Modern Theatre Dance.

The students achieved a 100% pass in both genres, gaining distinctions and merits from the primary level up to advanced two—professional dance company standard.

Examiners flew in from Canada and the UK on  April 16 and May 31, 2018 and conducted the examination at  the Cultural Development Foundation—the authorised examination centre for both international  examining boards.

Students who were trained in the school’s Vieux Fort leg were also among the successful.
