South London Dance School Examinations

Children can be entered into ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance) examinations throughout their training as long as they are attending all the recommended classes.  We hold an annual examination session at our studios towards the end of the spring term.  The teacher decides when a child is ready to take an examination and we politely ask that parents / guardians respect this decision as it is always for the benefit of the child. 

When a child is offered an examination, we recommend that they do enter and ask that parents are supportive of the requirement for extra lessons prior to the examination. Examinations are a good consolidation of class work, encourage focus and commitment, and promote a sense of achievement.

Our postponed March examination session that was rescheduled for Sunday 27th September – Sunday 4th October 2020 was a great success considering all the Covid-19 policies we had to put in place. We look forward to receiving their exam results soon!

Our 2021 session may NOT take place at the usual time (end of spring term) as it may be postponed until end of summer term 2021 depending on our school show performances which are currently TBC. We will update students by email as well as on here as soon as possible.
