That Adage is sooooooo hard... I hate doing it with the girls.. Well used to ow that they change the solo seal syllabus. Glad they did! Recieved my solo seal last year!
Sorry for my english. I've recently seen a Solo Seal exam in a theater. It was one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life. The girls were very good. One of them was brazilian and has studied in Germany for a decade. She was the best and was 29 years old. You are very good. Very beautifuk lines and great balance. Good lucky for you.
I myself are just about to do the new solo seal which is exciting because our ballet school is the only school who is able to trial it but i like the older one!
On developpe arabesque - lift the leg from passe before extending it back. It'll give a more expansive look to the movement.
Around 2:00 - nice sustained feeling to the grand battement on releve. Make sure the leg is crossed in front on efface devant.
And when you're walking with your back to the audience - try to stay expressive. If you can, add port de bras or turn head slightly side (so the audience can see your profile).
I'm from Portugal.. And my teacher always said that the solo seal exam is only until 18 and only to the people that took distiction on the advanced 2 . That's right?
I am Chloe Heffernan! Thank you for the suggestions. You are right. I have very broad shoulders and I find it hard to make them look relaxed especially when trying not to wobble in pointe shoes. My arms a super long and hyper-extended - I always find them hard to keep under control. I haven't videoed myself for ages until this Summer and I realise my arms have become even more unruly. What something feels like and looks like are two quite different things!
Wow that was wonderful and my gracious 32 years old! Best of luck if you sit solo seal and congrats on being eligible! My only constructive suggestion would be to pay more attention to your arms. Your elbows were s/times hyperextended. Be careful that your arms flow from the very beginning to the very end. I think you seem to be carrying a lot of tension through your shoulders. But again well done. Are you related to Chloe Heffernan by any chance?

I am 32, turning 33 this year. I don't think there is an age limit on any RAD major exam. That would be discriminatory.

i don't think there is age limit but you do need distinction in advanced 2
