EXAMINATIONS
The Society of Russian Ballet
Each year, ballet students are offered the opportunity to take an exam from the Russian Society of Ballet syllabus. The Society of Russian Ballet is a dance education and training organization that promotes healthy technical and artistic training utilizing the Vaganova Method. The students prepare, practice and perfect specific exercise to present on exam day. Students demonstrate their skills before an examiner and in the presence of the instructor. They are offered feedback from the examiner and earn a certificate.
These exams are held annually at The Listowel School of Dance.
Royal Academy of Dance
The Listowel School of Dance offers The Royal Academy of Dance Examinations to select students. This is an opportunity for our ballet students to learn and perfect specific skills and to demonstrate them in a formal environment. Dancers who participate in examinations and presentations can benefit in many ways, increasing their knowledge of ballet and adding to their sense of self-esteem and achievement.
The Royal Academy of Dance exams are offered for the following levels:
INTERMEDIATE FOUNDATION TO ADVANCED 2
These ballet levels further develop the fundamentals of classical ballet and pointe work and are structured toward students who wish to study ballet in more depth. Exams, which are conducted in Waterloo, are by invitation only and are available throughout three exam periods in the year- summer, fall and spring.
Please note: At the Listowel School of Dance we acknowledge that all dancers are unique and develop at their own rate. We strive always to help our dancers meet their goals and take the exams they wish to take when they are physically prepared to do so.
