KCDS EXAM GUIDE
At Katie Cox Dance Studio, we follow the RAD and ISTD syllabi, which offer various optional assessments and exams at each level. These milestones provide motivation for students and the chance to progress as they move through the grades. To ensure students are well-prepared for their exams, it’s important that they receive adequate time to develop the necessary technical and artistic skills for each level. Students must attend classes twice a week for at least half a term leading up to their exam. For those working towards Grade 4 and above, twice-weekly attendance is required ongoing.
Students who pass or achieve higher in Grades 6, 7, 8, Intermediate, or Advanced Foundation can use their exam results to gain points when applying for relevant university courses or higher education in the UK.
Currently, we offer classes up to RAD Advanced One Ballet, ISTD Advanced Two Tap, and ISTD Advanced One Modern.
