Street Dance is emerging as one of the most popular styles of dance today and is slowly becoming a ubiquitous form of expression in the Arts. PAA offers the opportunity for candidates to earn a recognised and quality-assured qualification while doing something they enjoy.
Candidates will prepare a series of technical exercises that display a range of skills within the genre. Exercises should encourage the development of a strong dance technique while embedding performance skills as essential. As grades increase, so will the demand of technical exercises, to ensure the development of equipped dancers.
RSL gives the teacher the freedom to create inspiring work, which will stretch and challenge every student. As there are not set combinations within the Street Dance syllabus, teachers will be required to lift the set technical steps and tasks from the pages and bring them to life. While inevitably you may spend time focusing on the accuracy of exercises, here at RSL, we feel it is imperative that candidates both enjoy and learn to perform exercises. The teacher is encouraged to apply stylistic features, dynamics and energy to all exercises. PAA examinations in Street Dance are designed to develop the skills necessary to communicate through dance and movement to an audience.
Performance Arts Awards offers teachers a flexible and exciting way to enter candidates for exams, embracing creativity and inclusivity. A maximum of eight candidates can be examined at any one time, encouraging and developing the skills necessary not only to be a solo performer, but to be able to dance as part of a company or crew.

Today’s consumers expect seamless, value-driven experiences when they engage with a brand. From buying products online, to getting text alerts about doctors’ appointments, to completing transactions via mobile apps, they assume every interaction will be painless and pleasant – and participating in a clinical trial is no exception.
People join these research studies to improve their health and contribute data for the care of others – and in exchange, they expect their research experience to be positive, accommodating of their time, and intuitive. If it’s not, the cost-benefit scenario can shift, and they may decide it’s not worth the effort.

This document analyzes the results of a survey given to teachers at Deer River High School in 2007, 2015, and other schools. It shows that DRHS has made significant changes in some grading practices to better align with standards-based and growth mindset philosophies, such as reducing extra credit, allowing retesting with full credit, and using formative assessments. However, the analysis notes there is still work to be done, such as implementing consistent late work policies, allowing unlimited retesting until mastery, and setting up gradebooks by benchmark rather than traditionally. The author expresses a dedication to continuing efforts to change grading practices at DRHS.

Today’s consumers expect seamless, value-driven experiences when they engage with a brand. From buying products online, to getting text alerts about doctors’ appointments, to completing transactions via mobile apps, they assume every interaction will be painless and pleasant – and participating in a clinical trial is no exception.
People join these research studies to improve their health and contribute data for the care of others – and in exchange, they expect their research experience to be positive, accommodating of their time, and intuitive. If it’s not, the cost-benefit scenario can shift, and they may decide it’s not worth the effort.

This document analyzes the results of a survey given to teachers at Deer River High School in 2007, 2015, and other schools. It shows that DRHS has made significant changes in some grading practices to better align with standards-based and growth mindset philosophies, such as reducing extra credit, allowing retesting with full credit, and using formative assessments. However, the analysis notes there is still work to be done, such as implementing consistent late work policies, allowing unlimited retesting until mastery, and setting up gradebooks by benchmark rather than traditionally. The author expresses a dedication to continuing efforts to change grading practices at DRHS.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Overview
The Performance Arts Awards (PAA) examinations are an ideal way for teachers and
students to measure, assess and reward progress throughout the year. Performance Arts
Awards are a part of the RSL family, awarding the Contemporary Arts in music through
Rockschool and the Performing Arts through PAA.
10. 10 PAA Street Dance Syllabus Specification
Street Dance is emerging as one of the most popular styles
of dance today and is slowly becoming an ubiquitous form of
expression in the arts. PAA offers the opportunity for candidates
to earn a recognised and quality-assured qualification whilst
doing something they enjoy.
Candidates will prepare a series of technical exercises that
display a range of skills within the genre. Exercises should
encourage the development of a strong dance technique,
whilst embedding performance skills. As candidates progress
through the grades ,the demand of the technical exercises will
increase to ensure the development of equipped dancers.
PAA gives the teacher the freedom to create inspiring work
which will stretch and challenge every student. As there are no
set combinations within the Street Dance syllabus, teachers will
have creative control and will be required to lift the set technical
steps and tasks from the pages and bring them to life. The
teacher is encouraged to apply stylistic features, dynamics and
energy to all exercises. PAA examinations in Street Dance are
designed to develop the skills necessary to communicate
through dance and movement to an audience. Candidates
who prepare themselves appropriately will develop relevant
skills through exploring a range of Street Dance styles and
techniques, to include:
n Style, form and technique
n Performance and character
n Group and communication skills
n Personal style and interpretation
n Creative thinking
Performance Arts Awards offers teachers a flexible and exciting
way to enter candidates for exams, embracing creativity and
inclusivity. A maximum of eight candidates can be examined at
any one time, encouraging and developing the skills necessary
not only to be a solo performer, but to be able to dance as part of
a company or crew.
Graded Performance Exams build up progressively, ensuring
that steps and skills learnt at lower levels pave the way for more
complex movements as the candidate progresses. Within a
PAA Street Dance examination, candidates are required to
demonstrate their practical skills within a Technical Skills
AssessmentandaGroupPerformance.

appropriate for any and all styles and be the same selection of
music for each candidate in the examination. Each piece of music
should be contrasting in style and tempo and labelled into tracks
A, B and C. Each candidate should perform for the specified

As candidates progress through the grades, the time, length,
complexity and technical demand required for this element of
the examination is increased. It is the teacher’s responsibility to
read the Grading Descriptors and Assessment Criteria for each
examination level. More details about the Technical Skills
demonstration can be found in the content description for
each grade.
The Freestyle element of the examination gives candidates
from grades 4–8 the opportunity to demonstrate their technical
ability, musicality and style without restrictions.
The Freestyle element of the examination is danced as a solo,
the music is unseen and provided by the examiner.
All candidates will be required to enter the dance space and
interpret the given music through any Street Dance style and
moves of the candidate’s choice. As candidates progress through
the grades, this becomes a Freestyle battle – candidates will be
expected to engage and respond to other dancers during the
Freestyle element of the examination.

across any of the four styles (House, Locking, Popping or
Breaking). The technical moves should be embedded into a
combination, transitioning from one move to the next. The
examiner will select one musical track for the candidate to
perform to. The teacher should prepare three pieces of music for
the examiner to select from – all tracks must be appropriate for
any and all styles and be the same selection of music for each
candidate in the examination. Each piece of music should be
contrasting in style and tempo and labelled into tracks A, B and C.
Please Note: The Technical Skills video should be used as an
aid to the examination only. Candidates are encouraged to
interpret the technical moves in their own creative way. Any
steps that are a variation should be artistically choreographed
and enhanced to be challenging, building on the basic
fundamentals of the technical move.
1 TECHNICAL SKILLS
Grade 8
Grade 8 candidates are required to perform at an advanced level. Candidates will have the ability to sustain their technique,
performance and focus throughout the examination. Candidates will exhibit a greater proficiency and fluency, including a strong
ability to combine a sense of style or theme appropriate to the exercise and piece. There should be evidence of thorough preparation
resulting in a secure performance piece.
Freestyle
The Freestyle assessment for Level 3 candidates is now
conducted as a battle through a solo performance. This allows
the candidate to dance freely, choosing any moves or genre to
perform. Candidates will be divided into pairs and given an
unknown piece of music (provided by the examiner and played
by the music operator in the exam). Each candidate will have the
opportunity to Freestyle twice against their opponent.
Candidates will enter the dance space and perform for
approximately sixteen bars of music.
Once a candidate has finished their Freestyle, they will leave the
space and the second candidate will enter at the next appropriate
place in the musical form.
During the Freestyle, candidates have the opportunity to utilise
their skills, knowledge and technical ability in order to create a
solo routine. Candidates are encouraged to interpret the given
music and express their sense of individuality, whilst exhibiting
style and technique at the required level.

2 THE PERFORMANCE
Grade 8 candidates will prepare two contrasting group
performances; each performance should last approximately
three minutes. The content, including style and theme, is of free
choice and teachers can include any genre, style and tempo for
the performance.
The performance piece should give each student an equal
opportunity to exhibit their dance skills at the appropriate level.
Level 3 candidates are now expected to have a featured role at
some point during the performance
Guide to choosing music for The Performance
The selection of music is the teacher’s choice and should allow
the candidates the best opportunity to respond to phrasing,
dynamics and atmosphere. The style and the mood of the music
should allow for as much expression as possible, creating a
performance that fulfils requirements for technique, musicality
and communication.
