Why dancers should be encouraged to do exams?
Exams are designed to motivate and encourage students of all ages and levels of ability, through a systematic measurement of progress and attainment.
A few benefits to keep in mind when considering whether it is important as a dancer:
- Exams give the dancer an achievable goal to work towards.
- Promotes discipline and commitment (a skill benefiting more than just the dance world!)
- Instils the importance of technical training, artistry and quality of movement in dance.
- Dancers will also develop improved physical training, respect, as well as confidence.
- Become a qualified dance teacher. If you successfully pass the examination you hold certification for that level. The dancer eventually attains the final level of becoming a qualified SABOD dance teacher.
