The British Association of Teachers of Dance (BATD)

Zero Gravity Dance Company is pleased to offer a Dance Exam Program. The BATD is a Council of Dance Education and Training (CDMT) Validated Awarding Organization.

Dance exams provide dancers with the opportunity to receive feedback from experienced instructors, helping them to identify areas for improvement and grow as performers. By setting specific goals and working towards achieving them through the exam process, dancers are able to track their progress and see tangible results of their hard work and dedication. Overall, participating in dance exams not only enhances technical proficiency but also fosters a sense of discipline, commitment, and passion for the art form.

In the examination process, dancers are graded by an outside examiner and marked based on an international standard of dance technique.
