Winter Dance Exams 2024
We had a small session of dance exams this winter across with only 1 day of IDTA exams and 3 shorter days of RAD exams.
IDTA EXAMS AND AWARDS
We welcomed IDTA Examiner Mrs Dennis to asses our students for graded tap, acro and character Rosette Awards, and Stardance Awards in ballet, tap, jazz, and acro.
Over the course of the day she saw 130 candidates perform! Teacher Sammy received notes on our teaching, the standard of the students, and discussion about the syllabus work… it was reassuringly positive.
We hope to receive the results before the Christmas break.
RAD BALLET EXAMS
It is proving more challenging to reach exam readiness for RAD graded exams, so our Winter session was smaller than usual. However, we still had 31 candidates sitting graded exams from Grades 1-5, including Vocational levels, and 3 dancers entering for their Solo Performance Awards at Grades 2, 4, and 5 levels. The exams were filmed under exam conditions.
All the videos were submitted after the final examination for assessment by an RAD International Examiner. We’ve not yet had a target date for the RAD results but are really hoping they will arrive just before the break.
You can view an album of all our exam candidates on our CSBS Facebook page.
Well done to all the candidates for the extra practice and hard work you all put into preparing for your examinations, and a huge thank you to your class teachers too! The exam session was managed by CSBS teachers Amanda, Sammy and Mrs Clark and we are very grateful for their huge input of time and expertise.
We’re really looking forward to parent’s days!
