Honours

The Ballerina received the results of her Grade 4 Cecchetti Exam this week.  A score of 88.5% exceeded her expectations. The written comments show so much progress over the years, as she has grown in confidence and skill. She has come a long way from the shy little dancer that froze in her first performance to the ballerina now dancing on pointe. So proud and honoured to share in her achievements.

• Grade 1:  Nice feet and legs. Try to lift your head and make your exercises look bright and happy 65.5%
• Grade 2:  All aspects of the syllabus well prepared, but try to be a little more confident 70%
• Grade 3: Neat technical skills, a pleasing presentation 72%
• Grade 4: Presented your syllabus with pleasing bright expression. A good technique is developing with nice extended feet and legs. 88.5%

* Her teacher once reported that it is unusual to go up in marks, as dancers usually remain constant, or go down as the syllabus becomes more difficult
