Ballet Exams
At Expressions Dance our teachers follow the Royal Academy of Dance ballet exam syllabus. The Royal Academy of Dance is an internationally recognized awarding body and their syllabus features exquisite music and beautiful enchainment to challenge students.
Benefits of a student doing ballet exams through the Royal Academy of Dance:
-
Attaining a higher standard of technique, musicality and performance.
-
Learning to apply themselves to a specific goal.
-
Learning how to memorize and retain substantial amounts of material.
-
Receiving recognition from the world's largest ballet examining body.

Gaining confidence and increasing enjoyment in dance.
The results offer the student another tool to monitor their progress in their dance training. Exam feedback is beneficial to the student and helps them to stay focused on constantly striving to improve their own best performance.
While RAD exams can seem intense, we aim to still make this an enjoyable experience for our students. Therefore we normally allow 1 to 2 years of classes to help students reach a standard that makes them eligible to undergo an exam. To be considered for an exam a student must show strong developing technique for their level, commitment and dedication in their classes, along with active involvement from their parents/guardians.
We offer RAD ballet exams at various levels with each having a minimum of two classes per week.
