The Syllabus The Syllabus of Examinations ranges from Pre-Preparatory to Advanced level. These are the essential examinations for students of ballet who wish to become teachers. Beyond the Advanced level there is a Soloist and  Ballerina/O Examination for those with a serious intent to become a professional dancer. The Teacher Training programme and Examinations are divided into four levels. When the the first certificate (Primary Teacher) has been gained , the successful candidate may commence teaching but only up to a certain grade. This enables the candidate to continue to learn while teaching. It must be emphasised however, that a regular course of study for each level be taken at a Society approved 'Centre'.  In the early stages of training , it is advisable to attend as many official courses as possible and it is essential that a candidate should have attended a minimum of one official course during the period of study leading to the next level, before being accepted for examination; thereafter, to refresh from time to time by attending an official course, to maintain contact with any adjustments and additions, in a practical way. Once Membership has been granted, many aspects of the Russian Ballet society will be appreciated, not least the dedication of the Society to produce in Teacher members and consequently in their students, the highest possible quality of achievement beyond the ability of the individual. All instruction classes and courses are payable in advance and Membership Fees (renewable annually) must be paid promptly. However, charges are kept to a minimum, the object of the Russian Ballet Society, being to help students of ballet to become professional dancers and teachers, and to help already established teachers by adapting to the LEGAT SYSTEM OF TRAINING through the RUSSIAN BALLET SOCIETY SYLLABUS.
