At Gwen Hallam Dance we follow the syllabus of the Royal Academy of Dance. The RAD has a long history of standards of excellence in classical ballet and today offers a beautifully designed syllabus for children of all ages and stages of development.

The syllabus is designed to inspire children from a young age as they begin by exploring movement and dance and progress to developing classical technique and artistry.  All grades are set to specially composed music which aids rhythmical development and musical awareness.

Children are encouraged to work towards and take their exam in each grade and will be entered based on the discretion of the teacher.  If a child does not wish to participate in the exam they will still progress to the next grade with their class.
