Pre-Primary Grade Ballet

Pre-Primary is the first grade in the RAD syllabus for children in Primary 1-2 (age 4-6). A new revised Pre-Primary syllabus was introduced in August 2009 which has a great emphasis on musicality, expression, creativity and fun.

Students are entered for a Class Award when they are ready for the next grade. After completing a demonstration class with their class teacher in front of an examiner, each candidate receives a certificate, medal and a progress report. This introduces them to the examination system without any pressure.

Grades 1 and 2 Ballet

These grades are ideal for beginners in Primary 5-7 or students who have progressed from Primary grade. They introduce and develop classical ballet technique.  A 'Free Movement' section continues to encourage greater musicality and freedom of movement.

Children are also introduced to Character dancing as part of the syllabus which includes folk dance styles from across Europe which are often seen in traditional classical ballets.

The RAD launched a new syllabus in January 2012 for Grades 1-3. Read more...
