Description:

Grade 5 TAP

In previous levels, students have mastered the basic steps and rhythms of Tap. Beginning to develop more challenging steps and combinations which will become fundamental in future levels. Grade 5 Tap is a particularly challenging year. With many new complex steps. Along with additions to the examination format. At this level, students will learn and practice key steps; including 'Rolling Ripples,' 'Pendulum Wings,' and 'Timestep'; with variations to include a 'Pick up Wing.' In addition, the Grade 5 Syllabus includes a 'Free Amalgamation' which will be set by the Examiner on the day of the Examination. In addition, during the examination, the student will be expected to perform 'Improvisation' to Music set by the Examiner. This will allow the student to express their individuality with freedom of movement. Both these additions to the examination format will be new experiences for the student. Upon successful completion of this BATD examination, students are eligible to progress to the Elementary Tap level.

Syllabus:  Warm-Up, 4 Barre Exercises, Floor and Center Practice, 5 Basic Movement Exercises, 6 Basic Movement Exercises, 2 Routines (Waltz & Tango), Examiner's Amalgamation, Skills Progressions, Music Appreciation, Dance Study, Showcase Routine, Cool Down, and Révérence.

Performance: London has organized multiple performance and demonstration opportunities for students, to build confidence and to gain experience of dance outside of the studio.  Please ensure that you support your child in these opportunities as they are an important part of their dance training.

Uniform: The visual appearance of a dancer is as much a part of the art of Dance as the movement itself. Classroom attire is particularly important. It must allow the dancer complete freedom to experience movement while maintaining safety. It must also allow the instructor and observer the opportunity to view the alignment of the body and the movement itself. At the London School of Dance, we maintain a strict policy regarding the wearing of regulation uniforms and correct grooming. Please see below for the required uniform for this level.
