Examinations

RAD BALLET EXAMINATIONS  Royal Academy of Dance exams provide the opportunity for dancers to attain their personal best and have fun, have a goal to work towards, and receive recognition from the world’s largest examining body while preparing dancers for careers in dance and an opportunity to compete on an international level.

RAD BALLET CLASS AWARD  The RAD class Award is a supported form of the same examination material. It is marked in a less formal manner and the class teacher is present. Ballet teachers will generally not enter students for an examination if they believe the student will not meet the technical standard required to pass the exam. In that case, the class award is the ideal choice for the candidate.

AIDT MODERN & TAP EXAMINATIONS  The A.I.D.T. is an examining body, whose aim is to promote the teaching and standard of Modern, Tap and Hip Hop dancing. A comprehensive syllabus in all sections enables students from the age of five years upwards, to learn the correct technique, develop discipline and musicality while enjoying the dancing experience.

AIDT MODERN & TAP EVALUATION  The AIDT evaluation is a supported form of the same examination material. It is marked in a less formal manner and is still conducted as a proper exam. Teachers will generally not enter students for an examination if they believe the student will not meet the technical standard required to pass the exam and will use the evaluation in this case.

BALLET, MODERN, TAP & CONTEMPORARY INTERNAL STUDIO ASSESSMENT  Our studio assessments are conducted as an exam or evaluation as done by the examining board. The same examining material is performed and assessed by internal teachers opposed to an external examiner.
