The Associate Diploma qualification is recognised internationally throughout the dance teaching world and aims to develop the initial practical teaching skills and knowledge needed to teach dance in a safe environment.
This qualification builds on the skills gained in the Associate and gives dance teachers further insight into the teaching of dance in their chosen genre. The examination consists of a teaching assessment class during which you will be assessed on your knowledge of the syllabus as well as your teaching ability.
You must be 21 or above, hold the Associate qualification in the relevant genre, and fulfil any other conditions of entry specified in the syllabus outline.
If you feel this is the right route for you, you will need to contact a teacher qualified by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing in the correct genre, who lives in your area and will prepare and train you for the examination.
Successful completion of the Associate Diploma will mean you are able to apply for Full Membership of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing. This will enable you to enter students for examinations and benefit from our full membership package.
You can also start to consider the next steps of your teaching journey by training for the higher teaching qualifications
