International Dance Division

UKAdance are delighted to announce the formation of a new division.

National Dance Division, will bring together many of our different dance styles, from around the world. Each dance genre will have its own Syllabus, Professional Qualification, and Amateur Medal Tests/Awards.

To start off this new and exciting division, we are including Bellydance and Bollywood. Bhangra, Kathak and Flamenco will be added as the division grows, with many more to follow.

Dances such as Argentine Tango, Cuban Salsa and Kizomba will remain in the Club Dance Division.

We hope that all teachers and other dance genres will take advantage of this new National Dance Division. It will bring new life into our “Dance Around the World” awards system, and develop the diversity of dance.

Please contact Head Office for more information.
