Nancy Delmonte is a full member of Canadian Dances Teacher's Association, and our dance curriculum is based on their syllabus, as well as others. Examinations, or testing, are offered to our students through the Canadian Dance Teachers Association (C.D.T.A.). These exams are based on the Association's National Dance Syllabus in ballet, tap, jazz and acrobatics. Tap exams are taken individually, while ballet and jazz exams are taken in small groups. Examiner's are certified dance teaching professionals from the Association, who travel around to grade students from various studios throughout the province and nationwide. Students successfully passing exams will receive a certificate from the Association, and can be assured that their skills and training are meeting nationally acceptable standards. Students passing their elementary level exam are eligible to take their teaching exam, to gain membership in the association.
