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
