It's still the same, you don't have to have passed the previous level for the graded exam. I believe the solo performance awards is an entirely separate exam from the graded exam? Having been doing vocational grades now, I have no clue about all these new requirements. It sounds interesting though. So do students learn new dance for the solo performance award, or is it the same one as the graded exam dance? Or maybe slightly tweaked, like the presentation thing they used to have (maybe they still have it, I'm not sure)?
I'm not a ballet teacher nor ballerina
so I'm unable to comment much. These info are gathered from the RAD website.

Hi,
Like to check on coaching classes for ballet exams. Is it norm to hv coaching classes 6 months b4 exams? :scratchhead:
DD is taking RAD Grade 3 exams next year and her teacher has just informed that coaching classes will start in Oct. Previously, coaching classes only start 3 months before exams. ie start in Jan for the exams in Apr.
Thks. :please: -
It’s usually 6 months, sep - mar. But there are schools doing 3 months too…
-
thks nicnac.... so its normal... :hi5: me newbie in this ballet thingy... so am surprised why it takes so many months... siong

My gals ballet teacher started grade three class twice a week right from the beginning of the term. Grade three onwards the steps are more difficult especially the new syllabus.
-
Yes, For primary level and above it take 6 months but pre- primary only 3 months. Yet, some dance school might do differently. It will be best to talk to the teacher.

It seems like ballet is a popular enrichment choice for girls. I’m quite keen to let my daughter take up ballet to improve her poise and posture, but I wonder if learning ballet in the long term will affect her toes? No offense meant, but I have friends who do ballet and they don’t wear open-toe shoes because their toes are a mess.
-
I only realise most of their legs are quite chunky.
Not sure about toes.
BTW, anyone went for the CSTD competition over the weekend?
Some of the contestents are really good! -
Minstral, that depends on how intensive one trains for ballet i believe. And before going on pointe (on their toes), ballet training is not likely to affect their toes. More likely they’ll develop more muscular thighs n calves. I’m not an expert but I’ve taken some adult classes and did my own bit of research. I had the same worries as you b4, but I’ve come to realise that the benefits (like body flexibility and coordination, a dancer’s grace) outweigh the cons.
