C.D.T.A. Dance Exams

Sutdio "C" is the only dance studio in the Cornwall area to administer examinations through the Canadian Dance Teachers Association.  These exams are optional are are offered in Jazz and Tap.  Each year, a qualified C.D.T.A. examiner conducts them in our studio in late September or early October.  Upon successful completion students are issued a special certificate indicating the grade and level attained.

The examinations are based on a national syllabus published by the organization.  The syllabus is designed to develop youngsters in to advanced dancers and teachers.  Various portions of these exams involve an in depth knowledge of theory. anatomy and music.  To properly prepare students, special "exam classes" mut be attended by all candidates.  Fees include a minimum of 28 classes per level, and the examination fee itself.  Levels progress from Primary, which can be taken beginning at age seven, all the way through to Advanced which can be taken at 17 years of age. 

If you have any further questions about these exams, please feel free to contact us.

In Oct of this year (2010), an Exam session will be held at the studio.  These exams take a great deal of hard work!  Our good luck wishes go out to the following dancers.
