A practical course in which participating teachers will gain an understanding of the important elements of performance for each of the character dances in RAD Grades 1–3 syllabi. Learning activities will focus on the development of correct technique through the progression of character vocabulary, differences in music and style for each grade, and ways of encouraging learners to develop accuracy in performing rhythmic content and musical phrasing.
