Dance Studies 

The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing

The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing was founded in London in 1904 to promote the art of dancing in various forms.  The Modern Theatre Dance branch offers a series of examination from children’s grades through to professional teaching qualifications in modern dance.

The Foundation in Dance Instruction is the first stage of the teaching qualifications, covering the children’s grades from grade 1 to grade 5.   The full qualification, the Certificate in Dance Education, covers up to Intermediate standard, and entitles the holder to full registration with the ISTD and to enter students for examinations.

The subjects covered in both sections of the teaching qualifications include practical teaching skills, health and safety, lifespan and development, the graded syllabi, music and dance, and the background to the chosen dance genre.
