Jazz Exams
When I was at Summer School at the New Zealand School of Dance in January, one of the classes was jazz. I had not done jazz since I had finished doing Grade 2. This class was a lot of fun so I thought I would do jazz again.
So this year I did Grade 5 NZAMD Jazz. Jazz has more sharper moves than ballet but sometimes I slip back into ballet habits. When I am practicing jazz up at the studio at th gym, Mum says "This is jazz, not ballet!!". This makes me laugh.
On Thursday the 26th September I did my Grade 5 Jazz exam at KDC. There were four of us in our exam group. There was Hannah, Ainslie and Florance.
Our examiner was Mrs Patten. She was very nice and made the exam very easy.
The next day I did my Intermediate Bronze Jazz Medal Award. I had to do my jazz exam dance. This time I was in a bigger exam group with my friend Bethany. Our parents were allowed to watch us this time. It was nice to have an audience.
Mrs Patten was very friendly and talked to us about our dancing and gave us tips too. She presented us with our medals.
I got Distinction (95% +) for Grade 5 Jazz exam. And I got Excellence Plus (highest mark) for my Intermediate Bronze Jazz Medal Award.
