Dance Examinations

ABD 

Dance exams are structured assessments that evaluate a dancer's skills and progress in specific dance styles. Participants prepare routines and demonstrate their techniques in front of an examiner, who assesses various elements such as posture, rhythm, and expression. Based on their performance, dancers receive feedback and are awarded grades or medals that reflect their level of achievement. These exams help dancers set goals, track their development, and gain recognition their hard work and dedication.

​

ABD take pride in being a top dance examination board, providing a diverse array of examinations and medal tests across various dance styles. Their primary technical examinations are accredited by OFQUAL (GQAL), guaranteeing both excellence and versatility in our offerings.
