The course is based on three elements:

THE ADVANCEMENT
THE ARTIST
THE ASSISTANCE

 The Advancement:
Students of the Chantry School's 3 Year Course are encouraged to advance in their technique, virtuosity and knowledge through a disciplined, rigorous and focused training.
So much is expected of today's dancer - technical virtuosity, acting skills, musicality, knowledge of many dance and theatre techniques...the list is a long one. Chantry School helps each student to advance in all these areas, and helps foster a desire within the student to attain new heights in every aspect of their dance development. The School also teaches students to explore other forms of theatrical expression (such as acting and singing) in order to enhance themselves as a performer. Additionally, students are given teacher training and the opportunity to become qualified teachers with the I.D.T.A (International Dance Teachers' Association).

The Artist:
Part of Chantry School's mission is to help each dancer develop as an artist. We are committed to providing an environment in which the artist can develop and flourish, reaching their full potential as an individual dancer.
The school encourages students to explore their artistic passions and creativity through experimentation and investigation. They are encouraged to develop a choreographic awareness and creative/improvisational skills as a vehicle for expressing their individuality. The school also encourages mutual support and respect of other students within in a shared environment of discovery.
