CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
BALLET
All ballet classes ages 6+ follow the RAD Ballet Syllabus.
The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) is one of the world's most recognized and influential organizations dedicated to dance education. The RAD syllabi and exams set well-known standards within dance education institutions in classical ballet and guide the professional development of dancers.
The RAD program is designed to teach dancers the importance of practicing and working hard to accomplish a goal: their exam. Examinations are an excellent opportunity to exercise the freedom of expression, musicality, technique and discipline required to achieve a professional level in the future. The RAD set standards are recognized by many and aid in auditions for productions such as “The Nutcracker” or placements in Summer Intensive programs. Successful RAD candidates also receive credits recognized by the BC Ministry of Education towards graduation.
