At the Advance School of Dance and Theatre Art we are proud to follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), and Acrobatic Arts examining bodies for our classes. All students will have the opportunity to work towards exams in Ballet, Modern, Tap and Acro to gain these qualifications. Although we encourage students to take exams, it is not mandatory. We believe that the examination process allows our students to gain a sense of achievement from all the hard work they put into their dance training. Our students gain so much joy from exam days and their solid technique and progress is always shown in their results. It is also such fun and a great experience with their friends. All dancers who successfully pass an examination will receive a certificate and a medal. We hold presentations for this allowing parents, friends and family to come along and celebrate.​​ At Advance we are proud that we hold a 100% pass rate. We strive to ensure that exams are a positive and rewarding experience.
