[straceydor]

I have been reading the post about RAD grades and ages how do they compare with the IDTA gradings and ages please ?

Like with post on RAD grades/ages I've seen different ages doing same grades. My dd did grade 1 age 8, grade 2 &3 age 11 (6 months apart) and doing grade 4 in few wks. Had change of dance schools before grade 2. I've known girls age btwn 10 & 14 at grade 4

There may well be some information on the RAD and IDTA websites, as I think that they are now collaborating together, so there could be details available about how their grades relate to one another.

I don't have my syllabus with me at this moment in time, but will grab it in the morning. The idta have age requirements for each grade and genre.

 

The modern jazz ages are as follows (I can recite this like a parrot as I have my modern jazz teaching exam next Friday)

Prep 6

Primary 8

Grade 1 9

Grade 2 and upwards 10

Prep 5

Primary 7

Grade 1 8

Grade 2 9

Grade 4 11

Grade 5 12

Intermediate 13
