Royal Acadamy of Dance Ballet Examintion Syllabus (R.A.D)
"Striving for Excellence"
Welcome to the wonderful world of classical ballet. Here is where your child will take a journey of self discovery. She (or he) will learn the artistry, technique and freedom that classical, character and free movement has to offer; each child reaching out for their own individual goals, expectations and achievements. Classes are delivered with preparation and dedication to each child’s developing needs. The whole child is developed using different teaching techniques so that they are not afraid to show self-expression and improvisation during class. Rhythm is also an important aspect for the child to develop without being self-conscious.
Although the expectation for pupils to move on and become a professional dancer is hoped for; learning dance because we enjoy expressing ourselves, through movement to music, is always a way to release and communicate to other people how we feel and where there is natural ability, the love and freedom that this encompasses.
