Silvercloud Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi, Does anyone know whether anybody teaches ballet more specifically Royal Academy Dancing (RAD) or Cechetti method classes to grade examinations here on Shetland I'm guessing probably not have not seen anything advertised so bit long shot, thanks.

Silvercloud Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hi, Thank you for the contact, I'm not sure whether the above group follow a formal set syllabus for teaching or indeed do RAD or cecchetti method which is a distinctive style of classical ballet, however I will ring and ask just in case so thank you again.

Silvercloud Posted December 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 This is example style of classical ballet lessons I'm after, children wear set uniform and work towards grades(if they choose to) following the distinctive method of training from a set structured syllabus. http://www.oundleschoolofballet.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvercloud Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi , Yes I will. However most of the ballet schools that do the above lessons RAD or Checcetti appear to be in Aberdeen ,which obviously just not possible, but you never know, someone might start classes in future which would be lovely for some of the children that might like to try it.

seaviewz Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yes it would be lovely if classes started, I did ballet as a kid, and really enjoyed it. If anyone out there is qualified to do so, it would be great to have said lessons here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvercloud Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi, yes I too did the cecchetti ballet classes when I was a lot younger and did some of the exams and my eldest daughter followed the RAD syllabus again took some exams and enjoyed moving up the classes/grades. Some of the children did extremely well and went on to stage schools or audition for the Royal Ballet School for those that showed outstanding promise and some children just enjoyed the lessons for fun in a structured way.
