Core offering

Rambert Grades provides a progressive contemporary dance syllabus spanning 12 grades (Creative Movers through Grade 8) for ages 3+, alongside online teacher training courses and Ofqual-regulated digital graded examinations. Teachers purchase annual memberships (Individual or Centre) and complete syllabus training before delivering the curriculum to students, who are then examined through digitally submitted recordings assessed by Rambert Grades examiners.

Product overview

Rambert Grades provides progressive contemporary dance training and Ofqual-regulated examinations across two main syllabi: Creative Dance for Early Years (Creative Movers, Pre-Primary, Primary for ages 3+) and Grades 1-8 in Creative Contemporary Dance. The offering is structured as a platform combining teacher training programmes, digital examination services, and membership subscriptions. Syllabus Training (with optional Refresher Training) enables teachers to deliver the syllabi, while Performance Strand Bolt-Ons (Storytellers Pathway, Hofesh Shechter Pathway, Alesandra Seutin Pathway) provide additional choreographic material. Members receive access to the Members Area platform, free Rambert Plus subscription, and examination registration services.
