Perfect! Thanks

Hi Everyone, I have a question about temps de cuise en avant & en arriere. I know that for the an avant version the sissone part travels forwards & for the en arriere version the sissone travels backwards, but what I'm not sure of is whether the foot passes devant or derriere in the petit retire passe before the sissone. My teacher thinks (but is not certain) that when the sissone goes en avant, then you pass the front leg petit retire passes derrier before doing the sissone en avant & the opposite for when the sissone goes en arriere. Is this correct or does the foot pass devant when traveling an avant with the sissone? I hope this makes sense! Thanks

That's why I'm going through the RAD vocabulary lists and checking where there are gaps in my knowledge which I need to know quite quickly

The plan is to complete old Advanced 1 this year - my exam is actually next Monday!!

Yes - I did have to do a number of unsets for Intermediate IDTA. I have found unsets quite hard previously because my brain likes to have time to fully understand what I have to do before I do it, but thankfully I managed fine in my Intermediate exam. Although many terms became familiar to me, there are some that I still forget, especially ones that get a little confusing. I actually wanted to do RAD Advanced 1 because most of my life I'd done RAD until my previous teacher decided to do Intermediate IDTA. Although Advanced 1 RAD is hard, I'm not completely foreign to RAD, so it's not too bad generally.

Thanks - that helped! I don't know the RAD Intermediate syllabus very well - I actually did IDTA intermediate.

Thanks - this helped! I'm still not quite sure what petit assembles are though...?

She did give us some help, but there was so much that I couldn't remember everything. I am planning to ask her some terms, but I thought I'd see if I could work out some of the easier ones so as to save time in class.

Thank you!

I'm trying to make sure I know all the French terms before my Advanced 1 RAD exam! I know what an assemble is, but I get a little confused with all the different types! Could you give me a simple definition of each of the following (use videos if that helps you to explain): - Assemble devant - Assemble derriere - Assemble dessus (over) - Assemble dessous (under) - Parallel assemble en evant & en tournant - Petit assemble devant & derriere Thanks very much in advance!

Thank you!

I am a ballet dancer working towards Advanced 1 RAD. I have done ballet my whole life & I've also done gymnastics my whole life. For me, they have complimented each other well. Ballet has improved my posture which helps in gymnastics. Gymnastics has helped to strengthen my legs for ballet.

Thanks, that helped!

Hello All, Could someone please explain to me what a 'running glissade' is. Maybe you could post a video of one? I think I know, but I just want to make sure I'm right. I know what a normal glissade is. Thanks!
