EXAMS
New Zealand Association of Modern Dance
Dates
Most of our exams will be held in house this year to minimise costs for our families. These exam dates are yet to be confirmed but will be in the weekends of term 3 out of school/work hours.
Our NZAMD Major Grade students will still be doing external NZAMD exams and these dates will be around September 4th - September 7th. Updates will come via email if you are a major grade student.
If you have any clashes with the exam dates please contact the office ASAP on and we shall do our best to accomodate these.
