Ages 7-8. (RAD Level Grade 1) If a student is new to our program, please contact us prior to registration to discuss placement. A natural progression from the beginning primary levels with strong emphasis on correct body placement, technique, and musicality. Along with classical ballet, RAD introduces two important additional styles at this level: Character work, which helps develop timing and rhythm; and Free Movement, which helps to develop poise, musicality, and sensitivity to music. Previous ballet training not required. Students will take two Classical Ballet 1 sessions per week. Class progresses from the Fall into Winter/Spring.
The Winter/Spring session provides two additional opportunities: students could be invited to participate in our Royal Academy of Dance Exams mid-spring, and the guaranteed ability to perform in our Annual Spring Recital in May. Examinations and Recital participation will require additional fees.
