The Associate Freestyle qualification is the first level of professional dance teaching qualification.
The qualification is achieved by taking a practical and theoretical dance examination.
The examination can be taken as 1 examination or in a modular form (3 modules).
The Associate is a practical examination conducted by an recognised dance association appointed Examiner.
Yes, you have to be 17 years or over to take the examination, however training and study can commence before.
It is advisable that you have dance experience before you commence a PDC course.
When you pass the examination will be offered a membership of a worldwide recognised dance association, International Dance Teachers Association. A Professional organisation with over 7000 members in 55 countries. Membership will bring many benefits. Personally your dancing will improve by applying the technical knowledge gained during study and your teaching skills will be developed.
If being appointed a dance competition adjudicator is one of your ambitions, with the Associate qualification you will be able to apply for an adjudicators licence (applications would normally be directed to your national dance council). This is necessary if you are engaged to adjudicate at an event. However the Associate grade does not usually allow you to adjudicate Championship events (see licentiate).
