Hi. My dd does a couple of dance classes and it's now exam time. When the exam timetable came out she and a couple of others are listed as doing Freestyle ODT but the others freestyle Bronze. I've tried getting hold of the teacher to an what "ODT"is. In my world ODT is "on demand test" for those not up to standard. Is at the same in dance? Or is it something different? If she's not up to a required standard why enter her for an exam? TIA

Is she doing IDTA exams? If so, it's One Dance Team. My DD has done a few of them x

Years & years ago I remember doing IDTA One Dance exams in Latin & Ballroom. Bronze was the Level above.

Crazygirlsmama - could be that , are they assessed as a team doing a routine or still assessed individually? All to complicated😂

I teach IDTA but the theatre branch. I understand ODT stands for one dance test, which is the first of the medal tests after the rosettes (which are for the very young children). Bronze follows the one dance test, I believe. This is likely because it's her first exam and the other children are either slightly older, or have already taken their one dance test in a previous exam session.

Ha test not team. Stupid autocorrect!

Yes if it's IDTA it's One Dance.
