Exams usually are - I don’t think anyone has ever been completely relaxed going into a school exam, unless they don’t care, and dance is no different. They are, however, a lot less stressful than they used to be. You can see that these days the graders are putting on a friendly disposition, look less threatening and the system feels more relaxed.

I did exams from Primary to Advanced Foundation and Grade 8 (during the years 1996-2007). - Pre-Primary and Primary wore pink. - Grades 1-5 wore navy leotards and blue ribboned character skirts - From memory, once you started the Grades where you wore pointe shoes, you could wear your own choice of a plain black leotard. - From 'Advanced Foundation' onwards, you had to wear 'demi-pointes' instead of ballet flats. For Grade 6,7 and 8 the school can usually choose the colour, but the leotards must have sleeves on the shoulders. We danced in maroon. (I think in the new syllabus, in Advanced Foundation they now get you to wear a tutu in your solo performance?)

Such a cultural difference between the English RAD exams and the Vaganova school. The Russian teachers are tough and merciless, from what I've observed. The English teachers are kind and humane. Are Russian children supposed to get used to suffering? The English children are just as talented yet they are never abused. They are taught with kindness.

Arthritis and complications from old injuries can’t really be predicted by a young person.

My ballet studio has the same dances, I’m in grade 4 currently, my sister is in primary, Some of the dancers in this video is also in the RAD (royal academy of dance) app which is really cool because they are now older :)

I danced from 1965 to 1975. I'm now 62yrs old. I STILL recall the bell, the preparation, the nerves and the results. When they were excellent I still recall the comment of "So why can't you dance to that standard in class?" It killed my passion for dancing getting constant criticism instead of encouragement. Reverse psychology destroyed my confidence so I quit. But my night dreams kept me in anxiety for decades. Having positive teachers who could inject enthusiasm and joy into classes was the model I followed when I was allowed to teach classes myself. The refreshingly positive results in feedback and lifted standards only produced jealousy in my teacher. The day I quit dancing at the Solo Seal level I was given the parting comment of..."Well I expected that from you!" I had no regrets but interestingly my exit opened a gate of departures by my example. I was surprised that the School survived!
