British Dance Academy, as an approved examination centre for the British Ballet Organisation (BBO), offers a range of Ofqual-regulated dance examinations aligned with BBO syllabi.

 

BBO is known for its high standards and thorough assessment, providing students with structured training across various dance styles. The syllabi promote creativity, technical excellence and a deep appreciation for dance.

A key benefit of BBO examinations is the opportunity to earn UCAS points, which are valuable for UK university applications, giving students a competitive advantage. All teachers at the British Dance Academy are BBO registered teachers, ensuring high-quality guidance and the latest teaching methodologies.

 

This affiliation enhances the overall dance education experience for students at the academy.

Examination Process

Our formal BBO examinations are held annually towards the end of April and cover a variety of disciplines, including ballet, acrodance, musical theatre dance and jazz and the BBO performance award for hip hop.

Each year, we have the privilege of welcoming a BBO examiner who travels from the UK to conduct the formal examinations, ensuring that our students are evaluated to the highest standards.

 

To help students feel confident and well-prepared, we also host a mock exam the weekend before the official examination. This rehearsal familiarises students with the exam format, so they know exactly what to expect.

Only students who are fully ready will be entered for the exam, as our teachers carefully assess readiness. In the two months leading up to the examination, we recommend attending classes at least twice per week to ensure optimal preparation. We also offer private one-on-one classes for students who want extra support in refining their technique and performance before the big day.

Results are typically received around four weeks after the exam, with certificates arriving approximately four weeks later. We then celebrate our students' achievements by presenting their certificates during our annual end-of-year concert, making it a special moment for both students and their families.

The BBO examination process is a great way for our students to showcase their skills and dedication, while also gaining valuable recognition for their hard work.
