BENEFITS OF THE GRADING SYSTEM
Gradings are taken for many different reasons; for some it's a personal achievement, a platform to stand up and perform for the very first time showing off their own choreography, a chance to express themselves through music and dance.

For others it’s the first steps to a career in performing, a build up to the competition they’ve always wanted to enter but never thought they could, a chance to gain confidence, build flow, grace and increase stamina and performance endurance.

A chance to get feedback and detailed encouragement to assist in improving their art every step of the way, eventually moving onto competitions.

Grading performances are certified and students can achieve either a Pass or a Pass+ at each level.
Please note online courses are non refundable.

SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED

​

 

Question - I have been considering signing up for your online teaching courses. However the idea of taking the exam was making me nervous. Then I spotted your Grading Certificates and thought they might be a good way to build up some confidence before attempting to get qualified to teach. Would you be able to provide some guidance as to which level I should aim for please?

 

Answer - We do advise that you start the gradings at 

Level 1,1A, 2 & 2A as these are the foundations for your routines 3, 3A / 4, 4A / 5, 5A

 

There are 5 levels in all, with each level having two modules each, so there is always something for you to work towards

You dont need to be 100 % proficient in each move in each grade, so be kind to yourself if you struggle with the odd move at your chosen level - It doesn't mean you fail the grading !!

 

Question - I have been pole dancing for a number of years. I can comfortably air invert, hold all forms of leg hangs and I have been training my Iron X in the hope to gain more strength for smoother transitions between moves. With that, what would you advise?

 

Answer -  as above as the foundation moves really help you to create a beautiful routine with lots of variation and transition moves you would miss out on if you were to start from Level 3 for example

 

Question - How does the syllabus work? Does it highlight all moves allowed, or does it state xyz 'and moves from syllabus Level 1'? In which case is it better for me to start at Level 1 and go through the ranks?

 

Answer - Yes the gradings are designed to get harder the higher the grade

You must complete and include the majority of the moves in the list that you are instructed to learn / do

Each move has its own online description and video on how to complete the move safely and effectively.

​

Question - How long do you get to organise your routine etc before you need to submit your video for grading?

​

Answer - You may take upto 4 months from signing up and receiving the videos, but email us at theteam@passion-fitness.com if you require longer
