Grade 5 CDTA - Tuesday
Grade 5 CDTA (Canadian Dance Teachers Association) ballet is the next level after grade 4 CDTA. This grade introduces pointe work for female dancers which is optional. Passing the Grade 5 exam qualifies students to join the CDTA as an Affiliate member, this is the first step to becoming a ballet teacher. Two years at this level and at least two classes a week are recommended. There is an opportunity in this grade to take a ballet exam. Female dancers have the option to take the ballet exam with pointework or without.
Exams are not compulsory and some students decide not to take the exam, however we like to offer the option of ballet exams to those students who are keen to focus on perfecting the syllabus. We believe it is good for students to study towards exams as it encourages them to practice and perfect the steps, and work towards achieving a goal. We see big improvements in students who complete their exam. There is an extra fee to do the exam and there are exam prep classes as well as a mock exam. The real exam is conducted by a CDTA examiner at our studio during the day on a weekday usually at the end of March or beginning of April. Once students pass their exam they will receive a mark, an exam feedback form and a CDTA certificate. If a student does all of their CDTA exams up to advanced they will receive a CDTA medal of achievement.
Achievement at this level of ballet contributes to a learner’s all-round achievement, as it helps to develop competencies such as motor control, self expression, physical fitness, and stamina, discipline, mental ability and confidence.

Come learn Stray Kids award nominated choreography! This class focuses on picking up fun and expressive choreography in a positive environment! We will do a warmup, watch the music video, and then learn the steps to execute this famous K-pop choreography. This class is appropriate for ages 12 and up; no dance experience is necessary, but it would be helpful to have some dance background. Wear comfy danceable attire (such as leggings or athletic shorts, a tshirt) and sneakers are highly recommended.
