GRADE 4 BALLET

Here are some videos of Grade 4 dancers, taken from the Internet, which show the exercises from Grade 4. Use them to practice with, to watch and remember. Watching the videos regularly is a valid way of revising your work and activates ‘muscle memory’ in the same way as actually dancing, so it will help enormously if you watch them each day.

Dancers line up for examination like this:

Examiner
