Pathways to membership
Membership in the Society of Russian Ballet is recognized universally as a sign of quality and is gained through an examination process. At all levels successful candidates receive a teaching certificate and permission to advertise their qualifications. In subsequent years their good standing as members is retained by the calibre and quality of the students they continue to present in examinations and an annual membership fee.
A unique feature to the Society is Affiliate Teacher membership. This is a two-year introductory membership for practicing teachers who have not taken examinations with the Society as student dancers. Drawing upon previous teaching experience, Affiliate members are given two years to familiarize themselves with our syllabus and styling, and to successfully enter students for examinations.
