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.
