Student Medal Tests

Annually, we invite a credited examiner to evaluate our students' progress using the USISTD Standard. These "Medal Tests" are used to universally measure and define the level of  skill for each individual dancer.

​

Medal Tests are milestones which mark the completion of one level and open the door to the next.

Have more fun, learn faster, and become a better dancer
