These are useful weather the student wishes to pursue a career in dance or teaching or simply to document the Level of training the student has achieved.
Students who partake in the NMT (National Medal Testing) are certified as teachers. Dance Competition students are eligible to participate in our Assistant/Teacher Training Program, which will allow them to teach at our prestigious Center for Performing Arts Dance Studio.
