Technical Skills = how the performer executes RADS accurately in performance. Movement Content = how the choreographer uses RADS to create meaning and communicate intent. Same categories — different exam question, different answer.

Take a screenshot of your score and paste it into your ePortfolio so your teacher can see your progress.
📌 Key Exam Watch-Outs
⚠ ActionsTravel is an action, not a dynamic. Stillness is intentional. Gesture = non-weight-bearing.
⚠ DynamicsAlways pair or describe fully — "sudden and sharp", not just "fast". One word = lost mark.
⚠ Space"Air pathway" alone is not enough — name the shape or purpose to access the second mark.
⚠ RelationshipsCounterpoint ≠ Canon. Different phrases simultaneously vs same phrase, different start times.
