Rambert Grades

Rambert Grades is a new holistic training, promoting transferable skills, and developing the whole individual.

It’s inclusive and accessible to all, regardless of ability and prior experience. It inspires creativity and encourages dancers to make choices and develop their own interpretation of movement.

The Rambert Grades syllabus has three pillars:

  • Performance, including original solo material from leading choreographers
  • Creativity, to encourage self-development and a sense of self enterprise
  • Technique, to support students’ dancing

Developed by a leading team of experts from Rambert and Rambert School with some of the most dynamic and relevant voices of contemporary dance in the UK – including material devised for the syllabus by Hofesh Shechter, Alesandra Seutin and Benoit Swan Pouffer.

Rambert Grades is a new benchmark in contemporary dance training and education where examination is just part of a journey that enables and develops talent.

We know every dancer is different, and we think that’s brilliant. Our 8-grade syllabus offers students the opportunity to develop lifelong skills. Rambert Grades encourages young people to own their individuality, be playful, work in a present manner, think independently, relate with others and have confidence in decision making while learning and embodying our three strands, Technique, Performance and Creative.

We wanted to give daring and brilliant young people around the world an accredited dance grades syllabus that recognises their creativity and individuality. This is what makes the Rambert dancers special and exceptional dance artists and we believe the same about all the young people studying dance around the world. The future of dance must be diverse and with this grades syllabus we want to celebrate young people of every different background as they move through the grades and receive rightful recognition for their achievements.
