At Dancing Club LA we follow the ISTD syllabus of dance steps for all the levels of dancing that we teach – from the most basic steps to the higher levels of Ballroom and Latin American dancing. The ISTD stands for the Imperial Society of Teachers Dancing and is recognised as one of the world’s leading examination boards.
We offer the chance for ALL our pupils to take dance examinations for WHATEVER level of dance you are currently at – so dance exams really are FOR EVERYONE!
Exams are certainly not compulsory, and you should always feel you can learn and develop with a formula suited best to you – but pupils can often find that the structure and feedback gained from them offer rewarding benefits as well as helping to set and achieve personal goals.
If you are new to dancing and like the sound of the option of working towards and taking examinations – do not rule them out because ‘you don’t think you’re good enough’ – once you feel confident at some of the dances you have learnt – even right from the beginners level – we can help and guide you in the right direction from selecting the dances you feel most competent at, to practise and presentation. It is all the while fun to learn and easy to try – so why not give it a go and truly be rewarded for your personal achievements in dancing?
If you have been dancing for a while now but never considered taking tests – then don’t be afraid to try! All pupils are helped and guided through their preparation – be it leading up to the exams or on the day itself – from rehearsing steps and honing their technique so you truly feel pleased with their performance. They can really complete your dancing journey, giving you the opportunity to set personal goals and keep track of the progress you are making through your learning. The medal presentation evenings that follow are also a great opportunity to celebrate and share your success with fellow pupils and friends.
Please feel free to talk to any of our Teachers here at Dancing Club LA to chat about your dancing hopes, dreams and goals – and let us help make them come true for you!
