she will skip graded exams 6,7 & 8. She is going to Intermediate Foundation.

It is not necessary to do grades 6,7&8 in order to move onto IF so it's not considered skipping of grades. Some schools don't do those 3 grades at all.

Depends on what the teacher wants to do. Some schools don’t do grade 6 onwards. After grade 5 is I.F.

FantasyLandDreams:

Can I check:


1. Does that mean after grade 5, if we choose to do intermediate foundation, no need to do grades 6 , 7 and 8 anymore?

2. Usually how long does it take to clear each vocational grade, a year each is enough training? I mean for :
Intermediate foundation, intermediate, advanced foundation, advanced 1,
advanced 2

Thanks.

1. Yes there's no need to.
2. IF and intermediate are 2 years each

RAD Grades are:

•\tPre-Primary
•\tPrimary
•\tGrade 1
•\tGrade 2
•\tGrade 3
•\tGrade 4
•\tGrade 5
•\tGrade 6
•\tGrade 7
•\tGrade 8
•\tIntermediate
•\tAdvanced One
•\tAdvanced Two

One can choose after their grade 5 exam to either do grade 6 or start intermediate foundation. There is no need to do both. Really depends on what your girl wants. Some teachers do a year of grade 6 and then if.

After grade 4 is 5

Something like this…

hi parents


For dance dsa, would someone be so kind as to summarise the timeline to dsa application in SOTA. I roughly remember the following:
1. Mar holi - dance camp?
2. June - application deadline?
3. June - selection camp/audition/CE tests?
4. July - Interview?

Thanks, I am trying to see how this will fit into my kid's schedule as she will be bz with her CCA comps around the same time too.

Changes every year. Best to check their website.

[quote=\"Imp75\"]congrats to all who are successful.


I am contemplating if I should apply for my gal next year so would appreciate advice regarding Dance:
1. For those successful in dsa, do you join external competitions (solo or group) and win awards?

My dd didn't do any competition before submitting her application but will be competing next week as a group.

2. Are you also in dance cca in school or in syf?

No she doesn't have any cca in school.

3. Are you also expected to be showing min 80% in school results for P5 and P6?

I supposed so.

Hmmm. my child has a good performance portfolio, won awards, and had a good leadership portfolio. He has average grades. Not sure if they are looking for students with high scores. I guess I'll know tomorrow whether he made it. He thinks he did well in the auditions and interviews. Fingers crossed. :xedfingers:[/quote]
All the best.

I strongly feel having the right techniques and some flexibility is important. The grades doesn’t really matter. Your child must also be familiar with the ballet terminology as they will do a free enchainment at the audition.
