National Dance

National dance brings the joy of Folk Dance to all ages. Folk dance develops a sense of community and awareness of others. Pupils get the opportunity to dance in couples and small groups and have great fun as they learn dances from all over the world. The dancers have the opportunity to study traditional dances, costumes, music and customs from different countries and at the same time they learn lots of information about each country. ISTD examinations in National can be taken from Primary to Advanced 2. Folk dance studies can also be taken where children learn about one country in more detail. Rosettes and Star dance awards can also be taken with the IDTA.
