NATD EXAMS

ABOUT THE NATD

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with the National Association of Teachers of Dancing (NATD) UK, a prestigious dance examination body recognized by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA). 

This partnership will allow BallroomBees’ students to earn accreditation from official UK examiners. We offer 2 exams: Rainbow awards (3-8 Yrs) & Pre Bronze 1 & 2 (8+ Yrs).

BallroomBees will review each student's application and submit them to the NATD and the HKEAA. 

​

Examinations entries must be presented by members of HKBDC. No individual candidates are allowed to submit entries themselves. The HKEAA will email examination information to all eligible teachers approved by the HKBDC before the registration starts.

​​​

To qualify for these examinations, students will need to be enrolled in our BallroomBees program.  For those who wish to go to the higher levels we recommend to join our Bee-a-Champion classes. 

 

The examinations will take place in person by examiners from the UK. 


For more information about the exam process and eligibility - please contact us: exam@ballroombees.com.
