Dance Train offers Associate courses in Freestyle, which are taught intensively and involve substantial work. It is not seen as an “easy option”, as Freestyle allows for creativity and flexibility, with candidates having personal input into their routines and being able to revise independently. The current Freestyle courses are now open for booking, offering exam-focused flexible training that can be done online or in person, or through a combination of both.
The training package for the Associate courses includes a comprehensive workbook for independent study, three hours of one-to-one training in a London studio, two hours of Zoom training, and constant email support. The mock exam is also included in the training fee. Once the candidate is ready, they will undergo the qualification exam itself, which is conducted by an IDTA examiner in a central London studio. The exam fee covers the IDTA fees, the use of the studio, and all administrative costs.

For distance learners, Dance Train offers online training via Zoom, allowing individuals to complete their training remotely. However, the exam must still be conducted in-person in central London. Candidates have the option to choose whether to complete their mock exam online or in person.
Completing the Dance Train Associate courses can significantly boost your dance teaching career, providing you with a professional qualification recognised by the IDTA. Dance Train welcomes individuals with a dance background and some confidence and training in dance, as the courses are designed to enhance existing skills rather than teach individuals how to dance.
