A.D.A. Syllabus

A.D.A. SYLLABUS

Established in 1931 through its Ballroom branch originally affiliated to the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, London, A.D.A. is an Australia-wide dance teachers organisation with members of all branches resident in all states.



Being an incorporated organisation, the Association enjoys much respect both nationally and internationally, being the largest organisation of its kind in this part of the world.



The theatre dance faculty examination syllabus in Tap and Modern dance has been structured on sound technical principles and is recognised universally, setting the highest standards of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. A.D.A. provides students with a graduated development of essential basic foundations in dance, with regular tests that allow the opportunity to check and assess individual progress through the various levels within the syllabus.



The A.D.A. range of syllabi includes Jazz, Classical Ballet, Hip Hop, Tap, Theatrical Character Dance and more.



These examinations improve technique and stagecraft, essential for a professional performer. Success and completion of all examinations allow you to become a registered teacher and/or examiner/adjudicator.
