Let's Dance

We’re excited to announce, we are joining Let’s Dance, 2nd March 2025! This fantastic initiative, spearheaded by Angela Rippon, is all about raising awareness for the benefits of dance on both physical and mental health, bringing people together through dance and encouraging those that don’t usually dance to give it a go.

Original Street Styles

New for 2024 - Introducing our cutting-edge Original Street Styles Syllabus! 🎉 Get ready to groove with the beats as we bring you the Original Street Styles. With a mind-blowing total of 30 examinations, plus our existing Medal Test Examinations, this is your golden opportunity to elevate your dance school to new heights.

Ballroom & Latin Graded Syllabi

New for 2024 - Ballroom & Latin American Graded Syllabus allows further opportunities for students to express themselves more freely, develop their co-ordination and give them a deeper understanding of the mechanics that are required to become an expressive ballroom dancer.

ENQUIRE ABOUT MEMBERSHIP

Dance is brilliant for everyone. Experiencing the enjoyment of dance at an early age raises self-esteem, benefiting all round health and social skills which stimulates other areas of learning. Hopefully becoming a habit for a happier, healthier life. I fully support the NATD Outreach into school’s initiative.

Ian Waite

I have taught and entered many professional candidates and through doing so have come to appreciate what an inclusive and diverse organisation the NATD is, one that I am proud to be a member of!
