At ABD, we are proud to be a leading dance examination board offering a wide range of examinations and medal tests in a variety of dance styles. Our core subject technical examinations are accredited by OFQUAL (GQAL) to ensure excellence and versatility, with our products equalling the demands required within the regulated dance sector.

All examinations and medal tests are fully inclusive and are open to those either wishing to pursue a career in the Performing Arts industry, or for those learners who study for social or recreational purposes only.

Operating internationally, we provide personalised support to teachers through syllabus guidance tailored to their needs.

Our mission is to support, advise, and inspire dancers on their journey whilst developing confidence and transferable skills, opening pathways to becoming exceptional teachers, performers, choreographers, or any number of alternative routes.

Our Programmes of Study (POS) are crafted by leading experts in their fields, demanding a high but achievable standard of work that has earned ABD a reputation for quality and respect within the dance industry.

ABD is proud to be a corporate member of The British Dance Council (BDC) - The Theatre Dance Council International (TDCI) & The Graded Qualifications Alliance (GQAL).
