Citrine Year Four Program

Citrine is our program for dancers in Year Four of their academic schooling.

Classes become more structured at this level, with increased content and higher expectations. The program supports continued development of each dancer’s confidence, communication, and technical ability, both individually and as part of a group.

It is absolutely fine if your child has not danced before — our teachers cater for a range of experience levels and support each student at their own pace.

At CMDA, Citrine students can choose pathways including recreational classes, exams, and performance opportunities.
