Rambert Grades is a pioneering contemporary dance syllabus born from the partnership between two of the world’s leading contemporary dance organisations: Rambert and Rambert School.
Across eleven grades, the syllabus offers students the opportunity to develop lifelong skills. Rambert Grades encourages young people to own their individuality, be playful, work in a present manner, think independently, relate with others and have confidence in decision making while learning and embodying our three strands, Technique, Performance and Creative. The Rambert Grades syllabus is progressive and inclusive and is designed to be accessible for people from all backgrounds.
Rambert Grades teachers are taught to promote a safe environment where physical explorations can exist without rigidity, yet with focus, discipline and collaboration. Students are seen as individuals and encouraged to express their ideas and discover their unique voices.
Each grade includes exploring how to create material and improvise, learning all elements of technical skill to the highest standard, from floorwork to complex leaps, and performing solo material from renowned choreographers, Hofesh Shechter and Alesandra Seutin.
Rambert Grades is an awarding organisation recognised by the Scottish SQA, with each Grade having the equivalent SVQF points and Grade 6,7 & 8 benefitting from UCAS points.
At Glasgow School of Ballet we have only began our journey into Rambert Grades and our Contemporary teacher is a fully registered Rambert Grades teacher qualified to teach all the levels below.
Creative Dance for Early Years - Nursery, Pre-Primary and Primary.
Level 1 - Grade 1 - Grade 3
Level 2 - Grade 4 & Grade 5
Level 3 – Grade 6 – Grade 8
Currently we are running Level 1 and Level 2 classes, specifically Grade 1 and Grade 5 but as the timetable opens up and our dancers begin to sit exams we will be adding on extra Grades when appropriate.
Fantastic teacher who is very dedicated and hard working!
