Frequently asked questions
What about boys?
The syllabi are especially designed to keep boys
occupied, interested and fit.
Where do I take my exams?
Either at the school or at the headquarters of the Dance Societies (Battersea for RAD, and Old Street, London for ISTD)
What will it be like?
Dancers can be examined in sets of up to four
people.
The teacher will make sure you have thought about everything before you go in to the exam studio to show your work. You will need to be well groomed and wearing the correct uniform.
Most sections of the exam will be danced with the other candidates but certain items will be danced alone.
CD's will be played for modern and tap exams but a pianist will play the ballet exam music and sometimes for tap exams.
The examiner may make a new pattern of steps for you to demonstrate if this is part of the exam that you are taking and will make notes on your
performance.
Once you have finished you will curtsey or bow, say 'thank you' to the examiner and return to the
dressing room.
About four weeks later you will receive your
results.. your teacher will explain the marking system to you. Then you will be able to
progress to the next grade.
Student Senior School Diplomas
RAD exam results will be able to be included
within the ucas points system if you are taking the dance module. More information about this useful step will be issued soon.

Why do we take exams?
Exams help us to rise to a higher standard, to polish and tidy our work and to sharpen up our memory.
They make sure that we have reached a point where we can demonstrate well the dancing pieces that we have learned.
Also they prepare us for the ability we need when working at the next level.
They help us raise our confidence without having to perform in front of a big audience.
What if I move abroad?
You will be able to find schools all over the world where you can continue your examinations just where you left them.
