Grades Examination

什麼是 IDTA Graded Exam？

IDTA Graded Examination 是由英國 International Dance Teachers’ Association（IDTA，國際舞蹈教師協會）主辦的正式舞蹈分級考試制度，屬於國際認可的技能評核考試，
目的是系統性評估學員的舞蹈技巧、音樂感、理解力與表現力，並讓學員循序漸進提升舞蹈水平。

與 Rosette Awards、Stardance Awards不同，Graded Exam是「有分數、有等級」的正式技術考試。

適合對象與年齡

  • 一般由約 4–5 歲起可開始（視舞系而定）
  • 適合已完成：
    • Rosette Awards / Stardance Awards
      或
    • 具備一定舞蹈基礎的學員
  • 設有兒童、青少年及成人路線
  • 不一定按年齡，而是按能力與程度安排等級。

  1. Preparatory Grade（預備級）
  2. Primary Grade（初級）
