For the past 20 years we have been fortunate to encourage many children to take a dance test with a difference. The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD) Disco Freestyle & Hip Hop exams are about ENCOURAGEMENT, CONFIDENCE and a sense of ACHIEVEMENT. It is something as teachers we believe in. We arrange with the ISTD in UK to send an examiner from London once a year to examine Island Dance Students. Why are they Different? • Our young ’Jr. Disco/Creative Dancers Join in pairs with their teacher to dance two of their favourite pieces and receive an official ISTD certificate, hand written marking & recommendation sheet and a trophy for their participation. • When children under 8 years of age begin to get nervous, their teacher can step in to encourage them. • For beginner students of any age, we set them a ‘One Dance’ challenge or Social Dance Test . • The older and more accomplished the children get, the more challenging the exam. Many students this year will be taking their Gold Star and prestigious Imperial Awards. • We do our best to pair each entrant with other students of the same level from their regular class. • Once attained, this qualification is recognized worldwide so even if you move onto to another country it is a credited measure of achievement for any new school. • All awards and certificates will be handed out at our Annual Show in June and special prizes will be presented to those who excel in their category. FOR THE HIP HOP EXAMS, ISTD AIMS TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING:- • Promote an appreciation and enJoyment of Street Dance and Commercial Hip Hop, with a view to developing technical and artistic qualities • Introduce an understanding of the various styles of Street Dance and Commercial Hip Hop dances, the different rhythmic expressions and characterizations • Motivate candidates and build self-confidence by providing carefully staged goals • Provide a structured approach for teachers to measure the progress of individual candidates Please call our office, or ask your teacher for advice if you are unsure of the level of dance test you should take. Applications should reach our office no later than Wednesday, 8th February 2017. .
