1 - Barre (Full) - Grade 4 - Royal Academy of Dance

List of exercises and music choice (each exercise has a choice of A or B):
Pliés (music A)
Battements tendus and battements glissés (music A)
Battements fondus and ronds de jambe à terre (music A)
Développés (music B)
Grands battements (music A)
Several people have commented on other videos that they are working towards their grade four ballet exam so I thought I'd upload me dancing it. I haven't taken this exam (I did the old syllabus back when I was 11) but have been taught most of the exercises in my adult ballet classes. The barre is very low.
My channel is all about enjoying ballet as an adult. I am aware my technique is far from perfect but I hope to encourage others to dance and that with all my flaws I'm far less intimidating to watch than the pre-teens on the DVD.
Good luck to anyone taking a ballet exam. I hope my videos have been helpful.

I strongly advise you to change a barre if you can. Your barre is just to low, but it's very good!👍
