ISTD Exams
The ISTD is one of the world’s leading dance examination boards. Their qualifications are widely respected in dance schools, colleges, and performance companies globally.
We are proud to offer ISTD Imperial classical ballet, Tap and Modern classes with fully qualified, registered teachers. All our teachers have undergone extensive training with accredited dance schools and have their full DDE (Dance Diploma in Education) qualification.
All our students at NC Dance can undergo exams in ballet, tap and modern if they wish, however this not compulsory.
Why Take ISTD Dance Exams?
ISTD exams provide a clear structure for dancers to progress, helping them build strong technique, performance skills, and confidence. As an internationally recognized qualification, they open doors to further training, teaching opportunities, and professional dance careers. Exams also give students valuable feedback from experienced examiners and a real sense of achievement as they move through each level.
