Elevate Your Dancer’s Potential

At Tarantism Dance Company, we’re thrilled to invite select dancers to participate in our ADAPT Exam Program — a prestigious opportunity for dedicated students to set personal goals, gain confidence, and receive invaluable feedback from master dance educators.

This isn’t just an exam — it’s a chance for your child to shine, grow, and take their dance training to the next level.

 

​

What Are Dance Exams?

The ADAPT Exam Program is a prestigious opportunity for dancers to:

✔️ Perform set work for master dance educators

✔️ Receive personalized feedback and a graded mark — just like a competition!

✔️ Work toward national awards, medals & scholarships

✔️ Gain valuable performance experience in a supportive environment

Exams are a goal-setting tool to keep dancers focused, motivated, and working at the highest level — all while building confidence and technique.

Why Parents (and Dancers!) Love Dance Exams

Here’s why our dance families love participating in exams — and why you’ll want to register your dancer:

​

1. Boosted Confidence - There’s nothing more empowering than setting a goal and achieving it. Exams give dancers a clear milestone to work toward and a sense of accomplishment when they succeed.

​

2. Clear Progress & Recognition - Exams offer a formal evaluation from certified examiners, giving dancers valuable feedback and a sense of pride in earning certificates and awards that showcase their hard work.

​

3. Stronger Technique & Work Ethic - Through regular practice and focused training, dancers develop sharper technique, improved artistry, and enhanced performance quality — skills that benefit them in all areas of dance and life.

​

4. Life Skills Beyond Dance - Commitment, time management, and perseverance — these are just a few of the lifelong skills dancers develop through exam preparation, helping them grow as students, athletes, and individuals.

​

5. Small Group Attention & Mentorship - Our new rehearsal structure ensures dancers receive focused attention in a small group setting, plus access to extra support to help them feel prepared and confident.

​

6. Scholarship Opportunities - Advanced dancers may qualify for post-secondary scholarships to top schools across North America.

​

7. High School Credits (Gr. 9-12) - Eligible dancers can earn up to 4 high school credits through our Exam Extension Program.
