is there any difference between

Ballet (Majors) Intermediate vs. Ballet (Majors) Intermediate Foundation ?

are Ballet (Majors) Advanced 1 and Ballet (Majors) Advanced Foundation, the same ?

The difference is the complexities and requirements for each grades, just like the 8 graded examinations from Grade 1 to 8. The five vocational grades for Ballet Majors are (1) Intermediate Foundation, (2) Intermediate, (3) Advanced Foundation (4) Advanced 1 (5)Advanced 2.

Is it recommended for girls to join the RAD summer school?

My daughter exam is this Fri and she is running a fever now. How to take exam on Fri?! Anyone knows if there is a replacement exam for girls who falls sick on actual exam date? Tomorrow, I will call the school to enquire. Headache now!!

Is your DD alright now? Hope she is well enough for her exam tomorrow. Good luck.

Thanks Oh my Gosh. My DD’s fever comes and goes, then comes back again after a few hours. Her ballet school said there is no replacement exam but I was told to bring my DD to a doctor and get a MC. With that, if she takes the exam tomorrow, the examiner will be more lenient considering she is unwell. Alternatively, if she really can’t dance tomorrow, I can also get a refund of the exam fee. Will see how it goes tomorrow.


Did you sign up for RAD Summer school? There is also a CSTD Summer school in Jun. Both seems interesting and I will ask my DD if she’s keen.

Hope she will be well enough to take the examinations, after all the girls have all been training so hard for the examinations. Which grade is your girl doing?

DD ballet teacher passed her the RAD Summer School application form, hence my asking here if it is a useful venue as it stretches over 5 days and each lesson is about 4 hours :yikes: My girl is doing the RAD exam syllabus so I am unlikely to sign her up for the CSTD Summer School.

I woke up at 5am to give her the paracetamol so when she woke up at 8am, she was well. Her exam ended at around 11am. The girls commented this is by far the best examiner, very friendly and makes them relax. The 4 of them came out from the studio beaming with delight. My girl is grade 2. She could not take G1 exam last year due to under age.

She is interested to enrol for the RAD Summer school. I forget to ask the teacher if she should sign up as grade 2 or grade 3. Later will call the school to enquire.

Happy for your DD. With a friendly examiner (and hopefully lenient as she knows your DD is sick), lucky stars are shining My girl was previously in the same shoes as your DD, skipping Grade 1 as she is under aged.

Grades for RAD Summer School is for tied-grades, i.e. Grade 1&2, Grade 2&3, Grade 3&4, etc. Sign her up as Grade 2&3. It will be too difficult for her if you sign her up for Grade 3&4 and she will not enjoy the summer school.

That said, I am still dilemma if I should sign her up :?

Thanks Oh My Gosh. I find this year theme very interesting..

In celebration of the Queen 90th Birthday, should be quite a grand performance.
