Important Information
Who are the Victory Arts Teachers?

All teachers are industry trained professionals with many years of experience in both teaching and performance.
Our Dance lessons are taught by the wonderful teachers from Formed Movement Dance Training.
When are Victory Arts lessons conducted?
Most tuition is scheduled within College hours; however, some of the groups – such as Dance classes – may be held out of College hours.

What are the performance opportunities for Victory Arts students?
Victory College has a wealth of performance opportunities throughout the year for Victory Arts students of all levels and all disciplines. In fact, at Victory, we believe that performing artists should be just that… performers!
Shared or Individual lessons?
Music
Thirty-minute lessons are given to individual students or to two students who share the lesson. The shared lesson gives students the opportunity to learn at a reduced cost while enjoying the benefits of a small group environment.
It is recommended that students who are more advanced have an individual lesson with the teacher so that more focus can be directed to individual needs and the student can learn at their own pace. After the initial learning stages, students can consider undertaking music exams as the exam recognises a national standard of achievement and creates a timeframe for the work to be completed. Students preparing for exams must have an individual lesson.
Dance
Our dance lessons vary from 30mins to 60 mins, depending on each class. Private lessons can be arranged directly with the Formed Movement teachers.
