EBS: Grade 4 RAD Ballet Classes Syllabus

Embark on a rewarding journey with the world’s leading organisation in classical ballet education, the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD). At Ensemble Ballet Studio (EBS), we proudly offer Grade 4 RAD classes, tailored to nurture a love for ballet and enhance skillsets in young dancers.

Children Classes – Grade 4

RAD Grade 4 Ballet is part of the Royal Academy of Dance graded syllabus and is designed for students who have already developed a solid foundation in classical ballet technique.

At this level, dancers continue to improve posture, turnout, coordination, musicality, strength, and artistry through a structured programme of classical ballet, free movement, and character dance.

Grade 4 focuses on developing more secure technique, including balance, alignment, control, and expressive performance quality. Students learn increasingly complex exercises and dances while building confidence, stamina, and performance skills.

The syllabus encourages artistic interpretation and musical awareness alongside technical accuracy, preparing students for higher graded and vocational levels of ballet training.

Opportunities for Growth

Though exams are not compulsory, we encourage our students to consider this opportunity, as it motivates them to practice, perfect their steps and work towards achieving a goal. We also offer the unique opportunity for our students to learn Ukrainian, Hungarian, and Russian Character Dances.

Class details

Classes are on Mondays with Grade 4 from 3:30 to 4:30 PM, at the Holy Trinity Parish Centre.

Accreditation and Entry

The RAD’s Grade 4 constitutes Level 2 of the RAD graded syllabus, broadly comparable to Level 2 in the UK Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF). The entry level for new students is determined by our expert dance teachers based on the child’s age, natural ability, or prior examinations passed with another dance school.
