The school takes in children from 4 years of age progressing onto the Primary class to commence the exam process. All students reach exam standard but are reminded that the exams are not compulsory in order to move to the next level. Every child seems to want to go through the exam process. Classes take place from Monday to Friday. |
| Excellent staff teacher who wishes to remain with the school. She has her CDE exams and Advanced II Modern Theatre Dance and Advanced I ISTD Ballet. She teaches all the Modern classes from Primary until Advanced II. She teaches ballet from Primary to Grade II. Good rapport with parents who are most supportive and helpful. Fees are paid within the first two weeks of every term. We work 40 weeks of the year with the natural breaks at Christmas, Easter and Summer. |

We also have an Adult Beginner Programme in Ballet and Jazz Dance. This programme is well attended and in some cases the adults wish to join into the syllabus classes. |
| There are 140 pupils, including the adult programme, in the school at the moment. Most children attend 2 classes a week, one ballet one modern. The vocational students attend more. All pupils and students are encouraged to audition for IRISH NATIONAL YOUTH BALLET CO. (www.inybco.com) which takes place every autumn. |

The purchaser can pay the fee by
installments set up to be paid into my bank account. There is a
possibility that a business partner can be called upon. There
has been some serious interest in this.
The school was established in 1981 and
is located in Dublin 8, near the city centre. The nearest other
ballet school is about 2.5 miles away.
Every indication has been that
students' parents will stay with this school. They ask me what
is happening on almost a daily basis.
Currently the studio is in our house
which is has been sold separately. However, there are a number
of suitable venues in the area.
Assets included with the sale are a
modern upright piano in good condition, portable ballet barres,
sound systems and a library of music including the ISTD
syllabus.
There is considerable scope
for developing the business as the class sizes are currently
limited by the size of the studio. A summer school could also be
introduced. There is potential profit from the sale of
dancewear which is currently sold for a small profit margin.
The staff teacher is keen to continue
teaching with the school. Her annual contract can be renewed in
September when the school recommences.
