Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I assume you're doing RAD!. There are two courses you can go on in the RAD syllabus!. The vocational and the non-vocational!. Generally people looking for a proffesional path in ballet choose the vocational pathway!.

After grade 5 RAD, there are 2 paths you can choose!. That is grade 6 or Intermediate foundation, but you can do both!. After grade 6 are grades 7 and 8, after intermediate foundation is intermediete and higher grades than this (inter 1, inter 2, advanced 1, advanced 2 i think!.!.) The graded syallbus includes no pointe work (ie grades 6 7 8 have no pointe work) and are mich more dancey!. The vocational grades are very technique based!.

So it looks like you are doing the vocational pathway!. I would check with the teacher for details!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

RAD syllabus!?
If so, intermediate foundation is just the next grade up from grade 5 I think!? It depends what syllabus your doing!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
