What is the C.B.A.A. Eisteddfod? 

 

The C.B.A.A. (Capricorn Ballet & Arts Academy) Eisteddfod is a competition, but not in the traditional sense. It is designed to encourage stage experience in a friendly, non-competitive environment. 

​

Dancers will prepare a routine (learned in class) and will perform in front of an audience and adjudicator during the Festival weekend.

​

​

Why participate?

​

DANCE1 has been a member of the Capricorn Ballet & Arts Academy for over 29 years and the C.B.A.A. Eisteddfod is the only competition which we openly promote to our families. The values of Capricorn Ballet & Art Academy align strongly with those of DANCE1 and you can be guaranteed an 'inclusive' and 'family-oriented' environment. 

​

The Eisteddfod is just one of our mid-year performance opportunities, and participants gain so many skills that can only be learned by being involved. 

​

• Allows students to increase their self-confidence and stage presence (think big smiles, eyes up and performing for an audience on a smaller scale) 

• Teaches performance and competition etiquette to students

• Fosters a relaxed and non-competitive environment in which the emphasis is on 'doing your best' 

• Allows dancers to perform in Solo, Duo or Trio sections, AND is one of the only competitions where dancing on stage with a friend is encouraged! 

​

 

Extra lessons​

 

To ensure our dancers are ‘performance-ready’, two additional rehearsals will be scheduled to bring together routines and allow for a dress rehearsal in costume. These will take place on Friday 15th May & Friday 22nd May (the two Fridays preceding the Eisteddfod).
