Although the Student Teacher is not a mandatory examination or teaching qualification it is a first step to prepare you for the Associate in Dancesport qualification.
The Student Teacher examination is helpful preparation for prospective teachers who wish to take the Associate examination. It is not a mandatory examination or teaching qualification. Any candidate you wish to enter for an examination must be entered by a Full Dancesport member.
You must be 16 or above.
Under the rules of the British Dance Council, you are not eligible to take part in amateur medallist competitions or amateur medal tests unless when you are 'partnering'.
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.
