BALLET EXAM RESULTS

Students from the Drewitz School of Dance in Estevan, under the direction of Lorie-Gay Drewitz-Gallaway and Assistant Teacher Hunter Hildebrand, recently received their results from London, England.

The new RAD curriculum has been implemented in the past few years and it is slowly taking effect in Professional Dance Studios worldwide. Even with Covid, all standardization remained the same worldwide. The Marking System and Medals are now introduced for each Grade in Bronze (Pass), Silver (Merit) and Gold (Distinction). With Ballet being the fundamental discipline in dance, children are encouraged to participate in examinations which are an individual goal for them. Examiner was Miss Gillian Horn. Students were strategically marked in all specified areas: Technique, Posture, Musicality, Presentation, Character, and their Dances. The standard required to pass is world-wide throughout all countries. Examinations for this session were for students Grades Primary to Grade 5, Higher Grades Six to Eight and Vocational Exams. 82 Examinations took place and all candidates were successful.
