The ISTD, UK is one of the highest Dance Examinations Board in the World. Both professional and amateur examinations are conducted on regular basis.
Every year the ISTD, UK dance examiners will tour several countries to test students and teachers of various dance disciplines, including Latin, Ballroom and Line Dance.
Teachers will take professional exams starting from Associate levels, Licenciate to Fellow.
Students will take the Amateur Tests in the form of Medal Tests starting from Bronze, Silver to Gold.
So what's the purpose of taking the Dance exam?
Bascically its to improve the standard of Line Dance. When you commit to take the exam, you will have to sign up for dance technique lessons with a qualified teacher. With proper understanding of technique you will feel more comfortable and look better when you dance. All it takes is practise, practise and more practise with the Right technique!
For 2009 the ISTD International Dance exam was held on 15 Oct in John's Dance Academy in Bornion Centre, the only centre in Sabah that is registered under ISTD. There was no registration for "Teacher " exam ie for professional level BUT we had a whopping 11 for the Bronze Medal. Every dancer has to start from the Bronze level.
The examiner was Mr. Richard Hunt. I think our 11 dancers did very well . Results will be handed to me tonight at the Dinner Party held in Putera Ballroom. So please wait for my next post. Its so exciting as this is the 1st time in Sabah that Line Dancers are taking the Medal Tests.
