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.
