Sample Syllabus Materials
During our Syllabus Training programmes, you will be supported in a variety of ways to learn, digest and embody the material. This material is provided you in advance of the course, but we do not expect you to come to training with everything learnt. Our team are here to support this process.
On this page you may explore a range of Syllabus materials, as examples of the types of material you will encounter when you are training to teach Rambert Grades.
Technical Strand Samples
The technical strand is designed to support each dancer’s technical development as they progress through the grades. Rambert Grades is built on a relevance to professional practice, and teachers are trained to support each student as an individual to explore their full potential.

Performance Strand Samples
Each grade includes solo material from world class choreographers, Hofesh Shechter and Alesandra Seutin, exploring how to create material and improvise, and learning all elements of technical skill to the highest standard, from floorwork to complex leaps.
Below you can watch a clip of these solos from Grade 2 of the syllabus:

Creative Strand Sample
The creative strand encourages self-development and a sense of self enterprise. Each individual student will learn to investigate a creative task in group settings, and develop improvisation skills. Students have opportunities to explore and develop movement material for a dance idea with increasing confidence, drawing on their creative expression and individuality of movement.
We provide all members with Creative Stimuli for use across all grades.
Here is one example of this stimuli:
