IMPERIAL SOCIETY OF TEACHERS OF DANCING

Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD)

SLDA is proud to offer ISTD modern and tap classes and exams. The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) is one of the world’s leading dance examination boards.

Since 1904 they have provided training for dance teachers and examiners, enabling teachers to enter their students for examinations, develop new techniques and spread the joy of dance.

As a registered educational charity and membership association, the ISTD’s mission is to educate the public in the art of dancing in all its forms, to promote knowledge of dance, to provide up-to-date techniques for our members, and to maintain and improve teaching standards.
