ABOUT THE IDTA

It provides a wide range of examination services that have been established over time and meet the needs of both the public, the professional performer and teaching aspects. The Association continues to work with the various Government agencies and representative bodies, in order to keep abreast of current trends and indeed, influence the progress of dance.

The Association is formed from a series of mergers taking from associations first formed in 1903, we will celebrate our centenary in 2003. With over 6,000 members throughout the world, qualified in all forms of Ballroom and Theatre subjects, it is a well-established international force.

Administration uses the most modern computerised techniques and systems in order to produce the quickest and most efficient examination service. It is continually being updated to improve the interaction between schools, colleges and it's head office in Brighton. Future developments will ensure that overseas services will be taking advantages of these systems.

The Association provides a wide diversity of training, tuition, seminars, support programmes and other activities dealing with issues from Rosettes to Fellowship and into education from mainstream schools to 'A' level.

Site of the month 03/03
REVIEW: The title 'useful links page' perhaps underrates this detailed information resource. The page is divided in half, with academic resources and organisations on the left (libraries, arts organisations, referencing, copyright, education, ESL, government, IT, study skills) and dance on the right. The dance section includes dance links pages, magazines, organisations, research, schools, sites, studios, supplies, dance and technology. As well as listing the usual suspects, this site is a useful resource for less obvious material - the UK patent office for example.
