[Mslovelyxxx]

[PhoebeNovella]

good! :) how many points did you get in the exam?

[TheBFFKat]

I'm in the same level as her and yes that is ballet

[Becka94647]

you call this ballet?

[MJLongman]

@PeachiiSexy You know, you really need to learn to be nice to people. Like, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

[mollymomomomo]

amazing! im 11 and started inter last year and this study is HARD!!!!! wont be doing exam for ages coz ive only just started point!and they have just changed the WHOLE of inter for 2011...has urs??? i think its coz r teacher has been teaching this grade for more thn 10 years! u r really good :)

[KamilleM91]

@mollymomomomo

No all the syllabus changed for every vocational level. It's for everyone. Nothing to do with your teacher.

Thanks for your compliments :)

[Kristie160900]

@mollymomomomo

[Theteeniebaby]

This is like one of the best IF study i've seen on youtube :) NICE JOB!

[Pigs0902]

FABULOUS!! you did great!! A little tip, when you do the runs, try to run gracefully, like you are flying!! Try not to shuffle!!!! Hope you did well in your exam!!!! Xx

[Apiiful]

You did it great :D

[BellaMacdonald]

Your good but i would concerntrate on stronger steps (You seemed like your moves wernt soil enough) and also jump higher!! More deffined jumps especially at the beggining xx You were great but its tombe not shasse (mind my french -litterally-) Btw i know your probs not in interfoundation anymore but you are really good xx What did you get in your exam?xx

[suzleify]

she did half of the steps wrong

[KamilleM91]

@suzleify sorry but the way we dance this is how our teacher, a licensed and well-known examiner of the RAD, taught us to do, so I'm pretty sure that the steps are right. :) It's not because you learned different steps that I am wrong.. sorry.. ;)

[suzleify]

@KamilleM91 i never said u did different steps.. i just said ur not doing them quite right. but its cool :)

[KamilleM91]

@suzleify oh okay, I misunderstood.. which steps are you talking about, I'd like to correct myself :)

[DarkAngelsForever]

Loool Kamille, lo hunn ech mol dëse Video entdeckt! ;) A gläich steet schon Intermediate un, ne ^^

[JBspantsparty]

i did this when i was 11..haha, but great job. just work on your arabesque

[The99boom99]

I will pass it in 6 months and i'm only 12. Anyway excellent work

[t0018450g]

MAN I WANNA GO 2 D BALLET SUMMER SCHOOL BUT I CAN'T! F***!

[Heheee123123]

Very good!

Try to jump higher instead of just lifting your leg.

Make your dancing more flowing.

Try not to lift your arms so high.

WELL DONE!

[KamilleM91]

@lauraelizabethx14 Hi, thank you! I'm doing Intermediate in May. I wish you luck for your exam!

[centuryoldgrenade]

Don't look so hurried in the running parts. I sniggered when you did that jump behind the wall. I'm taking this in August.

[corinnatheballerina]

@TheBigf350

I'm in inter. Foundation right now, and we do sissones! There's a sissone excercise.

[balletgirl37]

Great Job! You have a really nice elevation!

[sagagemini86]

[WhatsThePointe201]

You were 18 doing your Intermediate Foundation Exam??

woah. i did this exam when i was 14 lol. Your really good did you passs!?

:)

[KamilleM91]

@WhatsThePointe201 Thank you, I got 70. I was in an other dance school before this one and we didn't do the vocational.. that's why I passed it so late. ;)

[AQUA732]

MY EXAM IS IN NEXT WEEK! I'M FREAKED OUTT!!

[kurtamus1]

Argh,, I wish this was the Male Study.. Ours was so easy and boring!! You girls are lucky. I love doing this study with the girls.. back in the day. I did this exam when I was 14.

[TheBigf350]

I just noticed that you said you got sissones over in your free exercises, she should of given you those as they arent until intermediate.

[KamilleM91]

@TheBigf350 We've got them.. but we were prepared for it.. don't know, I just tell you what I've got .. :)

[GirlyGirl171]

You were really good!

You just need to be harder on your movements.

[onlineg111]

thank you i need this video(I'm 12now)

[i8apurplecrayon7]

Very good! Maybe just work on your posture and really point your feet! Good job! Good luck on your exam! :)

[DAoggiCHIAMATEMIsi]

Of course! Otherwise she would not passed her exam. I mean.. there are too many differences between this video and the official one of RAD.. not only errors.. different steps.

[23Ballerina]

70 is a Merit! Well done!

I got Distinction for this grade, but what did you get out of 10 for this dance?? :)

and how old are you??

[KamilleM91]

70, I'm not that satisfied.. for this dance I think I got 7 and 8, I don't know exactly because I haven't got my diploma with the details. Just saw them hanging on the dor in our school but I can't remember exactly. I think 7 for the technique and 8 for the "performance"^and presentation" or how do they call it?...

[KamilleM91]

I've got 70!!

[daflala]

@KamilleM91 on 100??

[HayashiMiyuki]

How was the examination??

[KamilleM91]

it was okay, but I made a mistake in the beginning of the sissones exercise and couldn't go on... I think I will get my results in 1-2 weeks... I'll tell you...

[isthatmarcee]

aw, its ok. :) Um what did you have for the combination??? the vocabularyy?? pleasseee tell mee!!

[KamilleM91]

what do you mean by combination and vocabulary? don't understand... I've got 70!!

[isthatmarcee]

you didn't get a free combination?? the examiner tells you a series of steps during the exam and you have to pull it off in 2 minutes. do u remember?

[KamilleM91]

yes I know what you mean, I think it was:

5th right foot behind: jeté, temps levé, temps levé, pas de bourré under, sissonne over, sissonne over, sissonne over.

arms: jeté, temps levé, temps levé : 3th position, demi-bras during pas de bourré and demi-bras for the sissonnes.

[AuraLynnLovesYou]

Oh that was your combination??? Wow!! My Intermediate Foundation exam is this Thursday!! So knowing that you combination is some-what simple that gives me hope!!!

[rumpleTeazer126]

How did it goo???

[danceawaaay]

hallo! wie war die Prüfung? ich bin auch 18 und hab dieses Jahr die gemacht. da ich sie in September gemacht hab, bekomm ich bald meine Ergebnisse! freu mich schon drüber! :D

[KamilleM91]

Wo hast du die Prüfung denn gemacht? September? dann wirds du die Ergebnisse doch gleich bekommen nein? Wie hasst du es gefunden? Welche Grads hast du denn schon gemacht? Sag mir Bescheid wenns du die Noten hasst. :)

[danceawaaay]

ich hab die in Singapur gemacht und zwar auch Inter-found. morgen bekomm ich die meine Ergebnisse! ich sag's dir sobald ich sie bekomme! :D

[danceawaaay]

ups ich hab mich in deiner Frage verlesen! also ich hab erst seit einem Jahr mit Ballett angefangen, Inter-found war also meine erste Prüfung! vorher hab ich jedoch andere Tanzarten getanzt und auch geturnt. übrigens hab ich 73% bekommen, also Merit! nicht besonders gut aber ich bin echt glücklich! :D

[KamilleM91]

Wow ich wünsche mir auch eine 73%, ich finde es wirklich gut. Okay, 75 sieht besser aus mit Distinction und so doch... COngratulation. Ich hoffe ich bekomme über 60...

[danceawaaay]

alles Gute! ich drück dir die Daumen! (: machst du nach Inter-found weiter?

[KamilleM91]

Ja ich möchte nachher nach London in die RAD um Lehrerin zu werden... sie nehmen allerdings nur 27 Schüler / Jahr auf.. mal sehen!!

[thegymgirl]

november 2nd?

me too!!!

good luck!!

[KamilleM91]

With Mme ?! Graham ?! How was it? How did you find the examinatrice?

[KamilleM91]

Wow 91%!! I hat 88 for my Grade 4, 85 for grade 5 which I did at the same time than G4, just a few days later and this year, I just get 78% for grade 6. I hope to pass this exam because my dream is to become a ballet teacher and I need this one. (that's also the reason for this short time of preparation, for Intermediate we'll have more time.) :)

[KamilleM91]

I'm very nervous too because I had very less time to preparate, I started on september and just had 1-2 hours a week, so I don't know all my exercises yet and it's in a week. I'll watch my videos every day but... I'm scared. What was your daughter's last exam? How much dod she get? How old is she? (just curiosity..) good luck

[KamilleM91]

No in Munster (Germany.) OMG it's in a week!! Good luck to your daughter...

[isthatmarcee]

november 2nd?!? OMG

[KamilleM91]

yes november zhe 2 at 1:55!! Why?

[isthatmarcee]

asldkfjñalerjg thats in like two weeks!!! :O!!!!! mine's in november tooo!! but i still dont know when! :O! :DD

[magia62]

so, let's start from beginning ( I really dont'know if people writing here are teacher but they have no idea of what is right and what is wrong....ever seen the official video from the RAD? ever read the syllabus?)

so.....

1-Much more turn out and pointed feet everywhere

2-that chassè (0.16)is a TOE CHASSE, which means that your weight must be on the supporting leg

[magia62]

3- (0.19) temps levè is too weak, not pointed feet

4-(o.23) your knee on the pose must be streched, too weak again...

5-( 0.26) after the releve you must do a TOMBé, with your weight entirely forward on the left leg, then coupe and assemble. Then Petit developpe, coupe assemble. You are too far back with your weight and your back and arms look like a robot

6-all temps leve are weak weak weak, not enough extended leg, no energy, and just pass through, don't stop in chasse passè (0.36

[crossroads07000]

Your use of space was very good for most of the dance but you have to watch out for the running parts. Make your runs bigger and try to turn out more when you run.

Some parts have to be smoother, eg. the contretemps into a 4th position (0:36): you held the 4th position for too long, try to land and chasse into it slowly because the counts are a big long for that position.

I like your jumps! Very energetic. Excellent balances with the arabesque too. Good luck with the exam!

[SanneMusic]

Watch your turn out :) (just like myself, haha.)

Try to glide more with your Jete's . Or what are they called? I forgot the name. The glide at 0:15/0:16.

But you do an amazing job! Good luck with your exam!
