Why study as an APL candidate?

A dance performance career can last on average 7-10 years, after this time many dancers move into other stimulating career paths, including choreography, staging or dance teaching.

Many performers during their training may not have completed a dance teacher training qualification. The ISTD Level 3 Diploma in Dance Instruction (DDI) and Level 4 Diploma in Dance Education (DDE) are EU accredited dance teaching qualifications that will fully prepare you for a career in dance teaching.

Advice from the ISTD website

[see the original page]

To begin studying for the qualifications you must register with an Approved Dance Centre.

If you need to complete any of the practical units of Module 1 or 3, you must be registered with an Approved Dance Centre local to you.

If you only need to complete the written parts of the qualification (the units of Module 2 and/or the Background to Chosen Dance Genre Essay), you may choose to register through an Approved Dance Centre local to you,or ISTD London Centre.
