Grade 2, Grade 1 & Introductory Teaching Examination (I.T.E)

 

These qualifications have been created for those individuals who would like to improve their technical knowledge, are looking to become a dance teacher, have just started in the industry or are looking to increase their technical knowledge and teaching skills. 

​

The Grade 2 & Grade 1 Teacher Examination through the Australian Institute of Dancing and DanceSport Australia's Introductory Teaching Examination (ITE), test technical knowledge and practical skills and as such may serve as entry requirements for the Associate, Membership and Fellowship teaching qualification or DanceSport accreditation.

 

While these are not mandatory examinations for prospective teachers who wish to take the Associate examination or a teaching/coaching qualification in its own right, it may be viewed as a helpful preparation. 

 

Associate, Membership & Fellowship Diploma

 

Associate Diploma

This qualification gives prospective dance teachers a solid grounding in the skills and knowledge needed to teach dance in a safe environment.

 

Membership Diploma

This qualification builds on the skills learnt in the Associate level and evidences higher level syllabus knowledge and teaching skill.

 

Fellowship Diploma

This is the highest teaching qualification offered by the AID, further building on the skills and experience gained through the Membership qualification. You are therefore expected to show a depth and breadth of technical knowledge and artistry as well as a high standard of teaching.
