French Dancer
Grade six rad place to start for begginer ballet dancer?
So 2009 September to december i did teen ballet, and i had to drop out. I switched studios and a certified and recognized teacher from this studio told me i would probably be able to handle grade six ballet. Do you think its the right grade, or too advanced? Btw i speak fluent french, so the terminology would be easier:
Hi
In my opinion as you are a teen you could probably manage grade 6 however I would recommend starting in Grade 5 or if money allows doing both grade 5 and grade 6 at the same time (if you have a very nice teacher she/he might let you just stand at the back of grade 5, or you might be able to come to some arrangement where you help tidy up at the end of the day in exchange for grade 5 free)
This is because if you are doing the grades (1-8) Grades 1-5 are the grades where you learn your basic technique and get the steps into your body. Grades 6-7 do not really develop technique as much they focus on the Romantic style and students are expected to show this influence in their movements as the exercises are choreographed in a romantic flavour. The knowledge of technique is used to create longer exercises which may be hard to pick up if you are still grappling with basics It is expected if the students are wishing to carry on to a higher level of technique and syllabus pointe work they will go on to the majors/vocational examinations.
Also in RAD you are also doing free movement and character work which may be a struggle if you do not have experience in these. but they are good fun.
So basically I think you would be ok in grade 6 but it would be better and you would feel more confidence if you were also doing grade 5 
hope I didn't ramble on too much, I really hope you enjoy doing ballet.
If you have any other questions don't hesitate to contact me
Good luck x
