Examinations
The Academy has compiled an extensive range of examinations, medal
tests and assessments aimed at providing the dancer with a steady
progression from young beginner to a knowledgable and competent
performer. After completion, the New Zealand Dancer will have a
sound background in the history, theory and practical aspects of
Highland and National Dancing and be able to train and adjudicate
others in their turn. Examination sessions are held twice yearly
throughout the country.

Ongoing Training
The Academy offers additional ongoing training by way of Seminars
and Dance Development Courses. A special Dance Development Course
is held yearly in conjunction with the Academy Annual Conference.
This offers instruction on various aspects of our dancing, teaching
and judging. Outside experts are often co-opted to share their expertise.

The Kiltie Club
To keep in touch with our young dancers, the Academy sponsors The
Kiltie Club and its very own magazine "The Junior Highlander".
It contains helpful dance information, stories of Scottish interest,
and fun activities all designed to encourage and fire the interest
of our young dancers.
