This board is responsible for teaching and conducting examinations and is a registered board for certifying dance teachers across the world. The syllabus of the board includes various dance forms and is dedicated towards providing quality education in dance through its certified teachers. The dance styles are offered as a course with a graded exam or a medal test to determine the candidate’s success. This educational board has more people pursuing dance as a hobby than as a career path. The examinations are in a structured format from a beginner stage to a professional stage. Once the dancers have achieved a higher score in their ISTD graded examinations, they can further pursue professional examinations which will certify them as teachers of dance. The candidates can choose from the three different professional examinations offered here namely the Global Dancesport, Rest of the World Theatre Exams and the European Union Theatre exams.The most noted form of examinations with ISTD which is followed by many other dancing organisations is the medal test. ISTD were the first organisation to make use of the medal tests widely for all their tests.

The contemporary dance form is something which came into picture very recently, in the middle of 20th century. However, it has made itself quite dominant among other dance forms over the years. It borrows its steps from both classical and modern dance forms. It combines the controlled movement of legs like in a ballet while ensures that your torso is also stressed to the maximum like in any modern dance technique. Again, this is a dance form that can be easily learnt at a young age and is also known to tap into the creativity of the dancer.
It is well known that cognitive abilities develop when we are young and of late, cognitive disorders seem to have become very common among children. Surprisingly, the contemporary dance form seems to help improve the cardiovascular health of your child while helping them improve cognition in parallel. Since contemporary dance also employs techniques like Yoga, Pilates which are completely not related to dance along with the classic techniques like ballet and modern ones like jazz, this dance form is considered as the most appropriate in nurturing your child’s physical and mental health. This dance form is so versatile that almost every school and every teacher has their own technique.

One can date back the history of this modern day dancing to early 70s when the hip hop music was really a rage in the urban locales. It was moving your body in rhythm with the rhyming words which are often rapped out in sync with the music. The hip hop dance can help you practice aerobic and anaerobic exercises in the most fun way possible. The movements sets your heart rate to soar, making it pump harder, giving you the benefits of running or jogging. Since aerobic exercises are what help your heart to function with vigor, you can easily term the hip hop dance as an alternative for aerobics. On the other side, the hip hop dance form also helps strengthen your legs, arms, especially the calves and the thighs while not exerting much pressure on your feet. It helps you to lose weight and keep your blood pressure normal. While this dance form helps toning your muscles, it requires you to work harder to learn the most complex steps. The dance form is so good in toning your body and making you physically fit, that quite a few gyms across the globe are now including this as part of their fitness regime.
