Royal Academy of Dance Graded Ballet Examination Information Pack Royal Academy of Dance Graded Ballet Examination Information Pack Shore Dance ballet students have the opportunity to enter in a Royal Academy of Dance Graded Ballet exam. This is where the students perform their exercises from class in front of an examiner and receive a certificate and an assessment report. The ballet exams are a great experience for students and it also gives them something to work towards during the year. Please note that students must be aged 7 years and over to sit RAD graded ballet exams. What happens during an examination? Students who participate in an examination will enter the exam room with up to 3 fellow students. The examiner will then ask them to perform each of their exercises as they have learnt during their classes. The examiner will assess their performance and they will receive marks for each section, with an overall mark out of 100. When and where will they be held? They will be held at our Shore Dance studios, 17 Enterprise Street, Birkenhead. They could be any date between the 29th of July and the 2nd of September (scheduled by Royal Academy of Dance). Please note that exams are often scheduled on week days, and may require students to be taken out of school for a few hours on the day of their exam. What will students receive after they have passed their exam? Each student will receive an assessment report, with a mark out of 100 (must receive 40 out of 100 to pass). If the student passes the exam, they will receive a certificate with their grade (pass, merit, or distinction), and a medal (as shown below – bronze for pass, silver for merit, and gold for distinction).

Each child will have three classes during the holidays to work on their exam work. The schedule of these holiday classes will be finalised once exam entries are in, so that we have a better idea of numbers etc. The total cost for the three extra holiday classes and the mock exam is $40.00. Please note that these classes are compulsory for all students entering in a ballet exam, so if you are planning on going away in the July school holidays, please schedule this for the first week, so everyone is available for their classes in the second week.

Practicing at Home: It is very important that students practie their exam work at home to ensure they are well prepared for their exam. Unfortunatlely, due to copyright reasons, we are unable to duplicate the music for students. However, the syllabus DVDs are available to purchase from RAD to help with practicing (see below). Also, if you could find a small notebook for your child to record their practicing at home, so they can bring it in to show their teacher each week and the younger students will receive a sticker.

  • My-Dance-INTERACTIVE-3.Pdf
    i Since 1920, the Royal Academy of Dance has had a significant influence on the dance teaching profession – not just in the United Kingdom but all over the world. And our work continues to make a real difference to the lives of our members, students, teachers and staff. Classical ballet has played a central part in the RAD’s history and to this day is fundamental to who we are. Our mission, however, has expanded over the years and now includes an ever-widening range of genres and activities. Our students, who now range from two and a half to those in their 90s, and from all walks of life, can study styles ranging from ballet to contemporary, to hip hop and jazz. Our ever-increasing programme of outreach work brings dance into diverse communities, from those who are marginalised by circumstances or disability, to those who just want to have fun and get fit. And our Faculty of Education’s research into how dance contributes to wellbeing has led to the development of specialist training for older learners. The RAD is also the international centre for Benesh Movement Notation, which ensures that the work of choreographers is recorded and preserved. The increasing diversity of our work means that our relationship with both our members and many different audiences is also very varied. How the RAD is perceived today is often determined by a very personal experience. ‘my Dance’ gives voice to those experiences from around the world, united by their RAD membership and their passion for dance. From our Artistic Director to Genée candidates’ success stories and from members living in remote and far-flung places to figures playing important roles in theirlocal communities, all have their voice here, adding to the unique story of the RAD.

  • Molly Lake and the Founding of the Australian Cecchetti Society - Anne-Patricia Butler © 2011
    Shining a Light on the Legacy of Cecchetti in Australia: Molly Lake and the founding of the Australian Cecchetti Society - Anne-Patricia Butler © 2011 During 1934 the Dandré-Levitoff Russian Ballet toured Australia headed by Olga Spessiva, the renowned Russian ballerina. Molly Lake, an English dancer, was also on tour with the company. Lake was engaged by Anna Pavlova, touring the world between 1921 and 1926, then began dancing and teaching for Ninette de Valois and Marie Rambert. She had been a pupil of Enrico Cecchetti and was a founding committee member of the Cecchetti Society established by Cyril Beaumont in London, 1922.i ii Wanda Edwards and Madam Lucie Saronova headed a small group of teachers who were initiating what was to become the Cecchetti Society of Australia. They wasted no time in organizing Molly Lake to conduct the first examinations to be run and approved by an international body in this country. In fact, they predated those of the Operatic Association (now known as The Royal Academy of Dance).iii In a newspaper article headed Ballet Dance Examinations in September 1934: As a result of the efforts of a small body of teachers in various States, the introduction of overseas examinations in dancing, such as have for many years been conducted in music, have been made practicable. The Cecchetti Society has arranged to hold examinations in Grade 1, 2 and 3 in November, and examiners holding the society’s certificate have been appointed by the council at the London headquarters of the society. Major examinations will follow in due course.iv To date it is a little unclear as to actually what happened first.
