Tayside Ballet Circle

Tayside Ballet Circle Awards and Medal Tests are designed by Tayside Ballet Teachers as less formal way of providing assessment of progress without the pressure of the more intimidating external organisations and their less flexible approach. These are carried out in Ballet, Tap and Jazz.

Award and Medal Dress
