Ballet Examinations
Our ballet dancers study under the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus. RAD is one of the most recognized syllabi internationally and helps dancers train towards professional development. It is a highly prestigious syllabus that is used in many pre-professional ballet schools and studios. Completing exams is a huge milestone for dancers.
Each week our ballet dancers practice a set syllabus of ballet exercises to hone skills, technique, and artistry. They work on these exercises for the entire year, working towards their ballet exam.
Although it is highly recommended, ballet exams are optional and not mandatory.
What to Expect during a Ballet Exam
At the end of the year, exam candidates will be taken off-site and put in front of an examiner in groups of 3. Each group will perform the syllabus work that they have been working on in class all year, in a class-length assessment. Parents will not be permitted inside the exam room.
Grading
The examiner will assess each dancer in a number of areas and give them a mark based on how they performed. There are different distinctions given to dancers who achieve higher marks, with the highest being "distinction" for 75 and up. Successful candidates who pass their exams will move on to the next grade the following year!
