Celebrating Contemporary Dance Teachers with the 2024 Examination Awards
Rambert Grades is proud to announce the awardees of the inaugural Rambert Grades Examination Awards, created to celebrate the dedication, progress, and outstanding achievements of our Trained Teachers and their students around the world.
For the 2024 examination season, awards were presented in two categories. The Highest Performing Examinations award recognises teachers whose students achieved exceptional results during the 2024 exam season. Alongside this, the Examiner Choice Award honours teachers who have demonstrated remarkable commitment, creativity, and impact in their teaching, as selected by our examiners.
All Trained Teachers globally who submitted student examinations between January and December 2024 were eligible for these awards, reflecting the diversity and excellence of the international Rambert Grades teaching community.
