Professional Latin Exam

考試內容

 

所有級別及範疇的表演示範將按照課程大綱,需要有舞伴進行。表演示範、伴樂個人表演示範,以及開一節有伴樂的課堂期間,奏樂者可以留在房間。在其餘的考試時間,除了考官及考生外,不得有其他人士在場。考官決定最後結果。不合格的考生,由上次考試日期起3個月內,不得參加同一考試。考官不得披露考試成績,我們亦不會透過電話通知成績。

 

表演示範

考生須配合音樂與舞伴一起跳5種拉丁舞,包括Rumba、Cha Cha Cha、Samba、Paso Doble和Jive,並須達到合乎考試等級的專業標準。考生的動作,一半以上應從有關課程大綱中挑選(女考生須與舞伴一起,並且跳女步;而男考生則須找女性舞伴,並示範表演跳男步)。

 

伴樂個人表演示範

考生須配合音樂獨自起舞,並同時在兩種由考官在協會課程大綱中選取的舞蹈中編輯3種動作。本項測試包括開一節有伴樂的課堂。在本考試環節中,考生可選擇跳男步或女步。

 

理論

考生需要知道的理論及技巧在課本中有敘述。所有動作要求的技術性資料及每一舞步的數目或節奏都可一次過由包含在一個章節標題的問題中獲取。考試不需要考生完整地描述動作。

 

考試不需要以拍子及小節計算編輯動作的數目。在考核技術環節的時間,考生須獨自完成課程大綱中某幾項動作,並同時說出與該些動作關聯的技術性資料。考生的表現會反映在本節的評分上,因此以準確的技巧做個人示範是非常重要的。

 

教學能力

教學能力將另行評分,並且會影響考試成績。我們會在考試過程中評估考生的教學能力。
