Epic Spring Exam Session!
We had candidates sitting exams in ballet, tap and acrobatics this session...
In our largest ever session, 410 candidates sat exams from their first levels right up to Advanced Ballet, Grade 6 tap, and Premiere Award Acrobatics... more candidates than in the whole of last year! Our Royal Academy of Dance ballet exams were filmed and the recordings will be submitted to the London Headquarters for marking by an International examiner. Both our ISTD and IDTA Tap exams are also being submitted by video. However, we were delighted to welcome an examiner to the Studios to watch the acrobatics candidates in-person... Our first in-person exams since November 2019!!!
Here's a summary of the exams:
- 86 Graded ballet exam candidates
- 18 Class Award ballet candidates
- 6 Solo Performance Award ballet candidates
- 15 Vocational ballet exam candidates
- 30 Pre-Primary Class Test ballet candidates
- 22 Graded tap exam candidates
- 40 Stardance Award tap candidates
- 8 Silver Medal Test tap candidates
- 79 Rosette Award tap and ballet candidates
- 106 Acrobatics exam candidates
Due to Covid isolations, we had students unable to attend their scheduled exam, however, we have been able to arrange an alternative day to film those students and submit the ballet and tap recordings as part of our Spring session.
Huge congratulations to all the candidates on their effort in preparing for their exams, we look forward to receiving the results in approximately 4 weeks time. We have a special shoutout for our amazing team of teachers for their extraordinary effort too in preparing the candidates at all levels and managing Exam Week so well. You can view a gallery of the candidates on our CSBS Facebook page.
