Royal Academy of Dance will introduce for dance students and teachers Rambert Grades, a contemporary dance syllabus created by Rambert School and dance company Rambert.
The syllabus was developed by a team of industry experts with additional solo material created by choreographers Hofesh Shechter, Alesandra Seutin and Benoit Swan Pouffer. Training is accessible to all ages, abilities and bodies regardless of prior experience of formal dance training across four levels and eleven qualifications.
After a pilot launch in Australia last year, the syllabus will now be rolled out globally. This will mean RAD members and RAD Registered Teachers around the world will be able to teach it to students at their schools.
RAD Registered Teachers can secure a 40% discount on individual Rambert Grades membership, whilst RAD Members can receive a 20% discount. Those who join may undertake Syllabus Training from September 2023, delivered online, offering training for two syllabuses across 4 levels and 8 qualifications.
Benoit Swan Pouffer, Artistic Director of Rambert, said, “teachers who deliver the Rambert Grades syllabus are encouraging young people to discover how the power of dance can change their lives. We’re excited for young dancers across the globe to experience the syllabus and learn choreography from celebrated international artists such as Hofesh Shechter.”
