About us
Who we are
The ISTD is one of the world’s leading dance examination boards with the widest range of dance genres available.
We are a registered educational charity, supporting and training our members through a wide variety of courses, teaching syllabi and techniques.
The ISTD's chief objective is: "to educate the public in the art of dancing in all its forms".
To achieve this, we work in four main ways:
-
to promote knowledge of dance;
-
to maintain and improve teaching standards;
-
to qualify, by examination, teachers of dancing in the ISTD's specialist techniques taught by our 7,500 members in schools of dancing throughout the world;
-
to provide, through our syllabi, techniques upon which to train dancers for the profession.
