2017 Ballet Exam Results

Students from the Drewitz School of Dance in Estevan, under the direction of Lorie-Gay Drewitz-Gallaway, ARAD recently received their results from London, England. The new RAD curriculum has been implemented in Professional Dance Studios worldwide. The Marking System and Medals are awarded 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.

Students are strategically marked in all specified areas: Technique, Posture, Musicality, Presentation, Character, and their Dances are now graded. The standard required to pass is world-wide throughout all countries. Examinations for this session were for students Grades Primary to Eight and Fall and Vocational Exams.
