Dance Exams

train hard and achieve great results

Achieve great exam results

We train in the ISTD dance syllabus and take exams in Ballet Dance, Tap Dance and Modern Theatre Dance from pre-primary right up to intermediate level. We also introduce RAD training in Ballet for the senior students

About the examination boards

ISTD

Internationally recognised examination board. This is our preferred syllabus for the younger years classes

RAD

Synonymous with excelling in ballet. We introduce this sylabus to our older classes as it demands more discipline

In House

We also do in-house awards for Acro and other non-syllabus classes

How can I get involved?

You don’t need to do anything to get involved, simply join a regular weekly class at DN Dance. All students in all syllabus classes will get the opportunity to take dance exams. They aren’t compulsory, but they are available to everyone.  If you’ve got any questions about participating in dance exams, simply send us a message and we’ll be happy to help.
