The IDTA Licentiate qualification develops a dance teacher’s knowledge and skills to a higher level and enables them to teach dance in their chosen genre. The examination can be taken as a whole or in a modular format over a period of time.
Ballroom Branch: Ballroom, Latin and Classical Sequence
The Licentiate is a practical examination conducted by an IDTA appointed Examiner. Candidates, both with a partner and individually, will be asked to demonstrate the appropriate dance genre to music and will be expected to answer technical questions.
Candidates must be 21 years of age or over with at least two years teaching experience.
A final, higher level professional teaching qualification is available at Fellowship level.
Candidates for IDTA dance teaching qualifications are required to apply using the IDTA Professional Application Form and pay the examination fee in advance. Training fees are set by the teacher.
The examination syllabi are listed in the Professional and Amateur Dance Syllabus. The technique for each genre can be found in the following publications; Ballroom - Technique of Ballroom Dancing by Guy Howard. Latin - The Laird Technique of Latin Dancing by Walter Laird. Classical Sequence - A Guide to the Theory and Technique of Classical Sequence Dancing (Licentiate). Visit the IDTA Shop for available resources.
