Exams at the Weald School of Dance

We follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabi.

Both societies are industry leaders and offer internationally recognised dance qualifications from pre-primary to professional level.

We run exam sessions regularly throughout the year. These can be taken in person or filmed. Extra lessons may be offered leading up to an exam or award.

UCAS points are awarded at the higher grades which can be used towards university applications.

“I was a student at The Weald School of Dance for 25 years and have had the privilege of being taught by both Miss Gould and Miss Kiki. There is truly no other dance school quite like this one. Many of my fondest teenage memories are of coming to class or taking part in dance shows. Miss Kiki has a unique abillity to encourage each individual beyond their current capacity, both physically and intellectually, and make it fun and rewarding! If you’re looking for a school that’s all inclusive, warm and challenging, with syllabus taught to the highest standard, then look no further. “
