    Street Dance and Jazz Dance recorded

    video examinations
    PAA Street Dance and Jazz Dance exams (all grades) can be assessed through recorded video
    evidence. These digital solutions are part of our commitment to making PAA graded exams as
    accessible as possible.

    The exam content is exactly the same as the specifications in the syllabus, with the following
    additional guidelines which must be adhered to:

    There must be a minimum of three and a maximum of eight candidates per exam.

    Centres are responsible for ensuring the welfare of candidates throughout the video
    examination, including provision of:

    • an adequately sized space for the examination to take place safely, with plenty of room for all
    routines and dance movements, appropriate to the number of candidates

    • a well-lit performance space, with no outside distractions or background noise

    • flooring which is safe for dancing on and offers the dancer some cushioning on impact, such
    as sprung or vinyl flooring manufactured to industry standards, which is clean and free from
    debris, spillages, and any other hazards

    • a chaperone (in addition to the music operator) to be present and visible throughout the
    video examination, responsible for ensuring the physical and mental wellbeing of the
    candidates.

    Centres must ensure that all relevant safeguarding procedures are adhered to.

    RSL Awards assumes no liability for damage to property or injury sustained by any candidate or
    staff member while participating in video examinations.

    Note that the examiner will contact the principal or venue representative by email approximately 7
    days before the day that the examination is due to be recorded, to introduce themselves and
    confirm information specific to the exam. Therefore, it is important that RSL are informed at least
    one month in advance of the date that the exam is due to be recorded.

    Improvisation/Freestyle (Grades 4-8 only): For the Improvisation/Freestyle component, the


    examiner will email a link to the previously unknown dance track on the morning of the exam day.
    (For international venues, any time difference will be taken into account when sending the email).
    At the appropriate time in the exam, the music operator must play this track for approximately one
    minute, and the candidates listen. The candidates will then improvise for the correct amount of
    time, as specified in the syllabus at the relevant grade.

    The whole examination must be videoed continuously in one take, as if it was a live exam, with no
    editing permitted.

    Centres must ensure that all candidates are fully visible throughout the examination. Therefore, it is
    permissible to split candidates into smaller groups, which perform sections of the exam in sequence
    (one after the other), rather than a single group of eight.

    The video should capture the entire performance space from the front, as if from the vantage point
    of the examiner. Different camera angles, close-ups etc. should not be used.

    The music operator will undertake the running of the exam, including introducing the exam session
    at the start (centre name, date, candidate names and numbers) and introducing each
    exercise/dance routine. RSL has provided example scripts (for both Street Dance and Jazz Dance) to
    assist when conducting a dance video examination.

    Centres should ensure that the music, and the music operator’s voice, are clearly audible on the
    video.

    The music operator and chaperone must be visible on the video. They must not be positioned out
    of shot.

    For the Performance only, an audience is permitted; however, as the video is continuous, the time
    taken to seat the audience must be minimal. The audience does not need to be in shot.

    Staff or audience members must not lead, direct or influence the candidates during any component
    of the examination

    The unedited video should be submitted as soon as practically possible after the date of the video
    examination.
