Shannon's RAD Ballet Grade 5 Open-House Performance Showcase

The school always has an open house several weeks before the actual exam to let the parents see what the girls have been up to - and also let the girls build up their confidence in front of an audience.
Shannon does a great job. Smiling, happy, confident!

To everyone saying that they need to turn there legs out you are obviously not a dancer. We have so many other things to think about when we dance; performance, posture, remembering the dance, pointing your feet, flexibility and so much more. These girls are amazing and have worked hard to dance like this. You are amazing!😀😀⭐️

[@xallyvn1486]

Uhmm did u guys read the description this vid is not for u guys but for their parents, and they are just in progress stop telling them

[@fionad9796]

We need more *FeELinG!* edit: also... SHAPE TO THE ARMS! (In second)

[@caitlyn9609]

Why is everyone telling them what they need to do. Everyone learns at there own pace.

[@iriscairns3030]

Ur like the only positive one! thx for being so kind to them.

[@haydaydaily792]

Because its a few weeks to the actual exams it I mean some are good some aren’t so

[@asyla5690]

we’re not “yelling at them”, we’re giving them advice so they can improve in the future which results in them getting higher marks in their exams. In Chinese, it’s called 疼爱. They’re lovely girls, and if they do their best that’s already amazing. But for them to learn, you must scold and help. That’s how they improve…

[@smallyellowgirl4276]

I feel like they aren’t performing which is a problem because performance and musicality are judged in the exam.

[@damsie64]

6:15 omg this happens to me everytime when I do the left side. 😂😂

[@laurensielatycki2349]

The girl in the blue leotard didn't stretch her legs on the arabesque

[@Hana-dc7fz]

Good luck for her grade 7!!! I think it’s really cool that you record her open houses and upload them on KZbin because my open houses were never recorded and I never got to see myself dance! Seeing the grade 6 open house kinda makes me feel nostalgic!! It’s funny that I can still remember some of the steps XD (the grade 5 she’s doing is different from the one I did, RAD changed the syllabus in the recent decade or so)

[@lilyocallaghan9814]

Looking good👍👍 Grade 5 definitely looks tricky

[@kenzie9316]

They are so robotic ! Let the music flow ! They also need to work on their turn out. And I think some of the girls go to my dance studio 😂

[@oliviapainter7463]

I have my grade 5 exam today 😊

[@hamish-9830]

I have mine today! ^-^

[@lisa-marie7695]

i will Do this exam next year👌

[@twinkelz]

This is so helpful. Because of the pandemic I missed a lot of ballet and I couldn’t get zoom working. I have to catch up on all the grade 5 dances

[@beemoviescript9841]

I have to catch up on all the grade 4 dances bc I moved to London during the pandemic

[@amorastrangemore-jones6039]

My grade 5 exam is in 2 days😁😁

[@babysushi953]

Cheese Cake mines tomoro

[@lucyt4375]

Mines next week😩😂

[@smallyellowgirl4276]

Battement Tendus? Also they aren't pointing sometimes when they are in the air. Arms are too stiff and the timing was a bit off in the port de bras. In dance D (Character dance) they need to look over their shoulder in the half break. Ok bye.

[@mackenzieboudreau9816]

Beautiful dancing

[@amazinggirl8546]

I am a ballerina and they are not pointing enough sorry no hate but also they should feel the music there are no expressions

[@nataliefifield4103]

They’re not getting pointe shoes cause they aren’t using their feet

[@naoshinm1372]

What's the song that's played at 5:48?

[@leonardchong]

Sorry. I'm not sure. You can search around for songs that are used for RAD Grade 5 ... I think those are standard worldwide.

[@krissychan5652]

Naoshin M that's 'Turns'. It's one of the exercises Grade 5 does.

[@katie_shi]

Its turns

[@elenadelrio7558]

They have great posture and good technique . But maybe they could try to be less stiff and smile more(musicality and performance counts in the exam)

[@kstan2991]

Their counting is abit wrony

[@harriet4598]

Your spelling is a bit wrong, did you even check this comment before posting it?

[@hyukas_favourite_plushie6037]

It's not their fault but the teacher for teaching it wrong

[@fiorellalima8138]

No hate but you need to work on the head, arms, turnout, etc. Also they are very sloppy and look a bit robotic, let the music flow in your body ! No hate !

[@nodisponible662]

guapasss!!!!!

[@xyunnn8483]

no hate but they need to work on the arm movement as they are very stiff. they need to point their toes and turn out more...

[@ninawieliczko9416]

their character dance was only thing that was semi-okay, even then it was sloppy

[@catherinereid3184]

Why are the dancers so robotic. They are too jerky in their movements. They need to use and feel the music and stop being robots. Not even to mention their poor turnout and and the sickled feet. Work on arms. Some are not rounded and in wrong placement.

[@russellgardiner7642]

Poor quality of dancing

[@ludabjork349]

Terrible
