At the 2017 IDTA Annual Congress in Southport is was announced the Academy, in terms of exam business, was the 6th busiest IDTA school in the world and 3rd in the UK. The Academy has always understood the value of exams as a way of structuring a pupils development and progress but has never considered it the be all and end all of dancing and performing. Despite this, we have still managed to progress pupils through a huge number of exams with a 100% success rate. Every pupil appears to have enjoyed the experience and examiner feedback has always been very high.
