cavycapers Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Hi. Does anyone know how many senior students are taking the RAD exams, (grade 3 and above) now that the categories are open to all students of all ages? I am about to take my Grade 3 exam at the age of sixty, and would be fascinated to know how many seniors are doing the same?

The_Red_Shoes Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I think there are a fair few adult students around who are taking RAD exams. I'm 66 and have recently taken Intermediate and Grade 6 and am now working on Grade 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngatheart Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Yes Grade 3 seems to be a common starting level for adults as it is the first grade containing dances that are not specifically aimed at children. Grades 4 and 5 have "rolling on the floor" as compulsory elements though that may put a fair few older adults off - or restrict them to doing a class award where these parts are optional. However after Grade 3 the Level 2 Discovering Repertoire class unit would be accessible as an alternative, which could then lead on to Intermediate Foundation if pointe work is a possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
