National Competitions

Celebrate Every Step with ACS Dance Centre

From professionally staged performances to accredited ISTD Grade exams (Grades 1 to 6) and vibrant regional dance competitions, our events are crafted to support students at every level of their training. These experiences build technical ability and nurture confidence, stage presence, discipline, and lifelong memories.

ISTD Grade Examinations

We proudly teach ACS Dance Centre students the internationally recognised ISTD Dance syllabus. We study for Grade exams in Tap, Imperial Ballet and Modern Theatre from Primary to Grade 6 and vocational grades Intermediate, Advanced 1 and Advanced 2 (accredited examinations by OFQUA). We also study for ISTD Medalist examinations in Ballroom, Latin-American and Disco-Freestyle Street.
Examinations are held at our studios with external examiners either in person or remotely.

Dance & Musical Theatre Shows

Dance and musical theatre are performing arts so we believe every child should have performance opportunities, this is what the children tell us they really love about dancing. Our youngest infant members start low-key and perform in our yearly in-house show case display and our more experienced juniors and teens who have already gained performance experience as youngsters then take part in our large bi-annual production show at a local theatres. Musical Theatre students also have extra opportunities to perform throughout the year in separate shows.

Friendly Competitions

At ACS Dance Centre, children and adults can attend Ballroom, Latin, Disco-Freestyle, Street and Rock' N Roll competitions. These are usually held on Sundays and are an enjoyable experience for our dancers, who gain confidence and a sense of achievement and belonging to ACS. They study routines in class and private lessons, and dance their routines against other local schools and students of similar age/ability. We usually compete within an hour's journey from Romford; however, there are chances to take your competition further to the next level and compete nationally, if you study more intensively with our competitive coaches.
We also sometimes select suitably talented children to compete in the ISTD’s National competitions, such as the Star Tap, Imperial Ballet, Janet Cram Modern Awards, and Blackpool Grand Finals. We have had many previous finalists and winners.
