Term dates for the Spring term are:
Saturday 10th January to Saturday 14th February and
Monday 23rd February to Friday 3rd April
There have been a few changes to the timetable, please take a look so you know when your classes are.
From this term I have managed to employee a fully qualified RAD examiner, Philip Pegler, to take the classes on a Monday.
Philip was born in England and began his study of Classical Ballet at the age of four. He received his professional training at the Bush-Davies School of Education and Theatre Arts, the Legat School of Russian Style Ballet and The Vaganova Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1992, he earned admission to The Royal Ballet School, where he began his training as a teacher on the internationally renowned Teachers Training Course and in 2005 he became a vocational grades examiner from the RAD. Philip was an award-winning coach at the 2000 Youth America Grand Prix and has taught extensively throughout America training and coaching students for competitions and examinations.
I hope you will join me in welcoming Philip to Oxford Academy of Dance.
