It takes discipline to study theory and work ethic in class to reach the technical requirements for each grade level. Reaching their goals heightens self-esteem by allowing the dancer to graduate to the next level upon successful completion of the previous grade. The benefits of using a method which builds from one level to the next is important in developing a well-trained, strong, technically and artistically proficient dancer.  \nHow can I prepare?  \nGood classroom attendance, work ethic, determination and perseverance are key to preparing for a successful exam. Correction is an integral part of any learning process. We teach our students to desire as well as value corrections as an investment by the teacher in their success.  \nPreparing for an exam is like training for a marathon or championship. Dancers will be required to add additional ballet classes and attend exam prep classes as needed, depending on their level and preparation. Dancers needing additional assistance will be recommended for private classes, only if necessary for the student to do well in the exam.  \nWhat should I expect in the examination?  \nCecchetti ballet exam will be led by one or two examiners from the Cecchetti Council of America’s Board of Examiners. Examiners understand that candidates may be nervous and do their best to make them feel as comfortable as possible during the exam.  \nMost exams start in the center floor with a short introduction between examiners and the candidates. The examiners will first ask the theory questions before the candidates demonstrate the barre work, center work, adages, and enchaînements exercises.  \nStudio exams will be conducted in a similar manner with the same standard of excellence, by teachers that are not the primary teachers for technique class.  \nWhat theory questions will be asked?  \nAll theory and translations for each grade are contained in the CCA graded syllabus books. Special attention is given to the new theory presented in the beginning of each graded syllabus book. Due to the fact that the Cecchetti method builds from one level to the next, the examiners may ask candidates theory questions from the previous grade. It is always a good idea to refresh your knowledge of terminology from previous grades. Nervousness is reduced when candidates are well prepared.  \nWhat is the dress code?  \nJust as in our ballet classes, female candidates should wear a solid black leotard (camisole preferred) with pink tights and ballet slippers, pointe shoes for Elementary (5), Intermediate (6), Advanced (7) & Diploma (8) . Hair should be worn in a bun; if the hair is too short, it needs to be securely fastened off the face and neck.  \nMale candidates should wear a fitted white t-shirt, dance belt, black tights and ballet slippers with hair neatly secured away from the face..  \nWhat should I bring into the exam?  \nMost exams only require…YOU!  \nHowever, if you use an inhaler, it may be brought into the exam to assure your comfort and safety. Water bottles should not be brought into the examination unless there is a special circumstance or medical condition; permission should be given before entering the examination room. Grade IV students should give the CD for the choreographed dance to the person playing the music at the beginning of the exam. Grade IV students will also need a colored drawing (drawing proficiency is not needed) depicting how you would costume your dance as well as a note card with information on your composer and/or song. Starting at the Elementary level, pointe shoes should be brought into the examination room. Advanced and Diploma students will need the music for their classical variation.  \nHow long is ","cbCaihCqArexcSF8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihCqArexcSF8","pdf",62017,"English","# Why should I take examinations?\n# How can I prepare?\n# What should I expect in the examination?\n# What theory questions will be asked?\n# What is the dress code?\n# What should I bring into the exam?\n# How long is the exam?\n# How long before we know if we passed?","[{\"question\":\"Why are ballet exams valuable for students?\",\"answer\":\"Ballet exams promote strong technique, artistry, and quality of movement.
