UKA Medal Exams with And123

If you would like to take medal exams in any dance (Salsa, Bachata, Argentine Tango, Kizomba, Cha Cha, Waltz, Quickstep, Foxtrot, or any of the other Latin American or Ballroom dances we teach), we can help you do so.  You can take exams at three levels (bronze, silver and gold).

The medal programme from UKA allows you to learn within a structure that allows you to measure your own progress against a progressive series of goals and against national standards.  Participation in this programme allows you to learn core techniques and to progress at your own pace.

You are required to perform a routine containing specific figures and moves.  We will prepare a routine for each dance at each level and our instructors will be available to partner you during your examination.  You will receive a grading and comments from the examiner and successful students will receive a Certificate of Achievement and a medal, trophy or wall-plaque - depending on the level of achievement.

Why do exams?

Exams provide a concrete goal allowing learning to become more structured and focused

The syllabus routines will help you master essential techniques for a wide variety of dance figures

The examination itself can be a thrilling experience

At the end of the process successful students will receive a medal - tangible proof that you have attained an objective level of skill

You will receive the full support of your instructors and with proper preparation, students are nearly always successful

Our next examination day will be June 2012
