RAD Ballet Examinations

Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Ballet Exams are offered to students from Grade 1 Ballet and upwards. 

​

To be eligible for an exam, students must be enrolled in conditioning, and take a minimum of two ballet classes per week.

Students must also make their attendance to class a priority; an attendance rate of less than 80% may compromise the student's ability to sit their exam. 

​

Graded examinations (Grades 1 - 5 Ballet) are generally filmed at our Brockman Street studio, and sent away to an RAD examiner for marking.​

​

Vocational examinations (Intermediate Foundation and upwards) are held in Perth at the beginning of Term 3.

Students wishing to sit their vocational exam are required to complete a holiday course in Perth, held during the April school holidays. 

​

Only RAD Registered Teachers are authorised to enter students for RAD ballet exams. These teachers have met the professional standards and training requirements set by the RAD, ensuring a high quality of dance education.

​

Students will only be entered into the exam if the teacher is confident that they are at a satisfactory level.
