UC Dance have 100% pass rates in all examinations taken to date with over 85% of our students achieving Distinction grades and achieving  90 marks or over.  Our highest mark has been 98 marks!

Our dancer's take examinations in ballet, tap, modern, acrobatics, theatre craft, musical theatre and freestyle. We are also introducing contemporary dance  examinations with the NATD this year. 

Our dancers can take examinations from 3 years, starting with the IDTA rosettes. This is a great introduction and builds confidence, team work, listening skills and commitment. 

On completion of the examination the dancers receive a report, certificate and rosette, trophy or medal depending on the award taken. 

We enjoy celebrating our dancers achievement with an exam presentation after each exam session, a great fun way to be proud of our achievements.
