This auxiliary branch of the TDA, headed by Di Fincham and Denise Morrison was set up in 2015, specifically to train Associates – MODERN, BALLET, TAP,
ACROBATICS, SOLO LATIN and HIP HOP.

It is dedicated to producing effective,
competent, and current new teachers, following each Associate’s progress in
relation to the GOALS they must meet to qualify in each PART. Our format to train &
qualify teachers has been so successful that other Associations have followed suit.
Every Associate’s registration date is logged; we know exactly when they are reaching “due date” to submit each of their GOALS; we know exactly when they must write their papers; submit their teaching videos, produce their projects, do their practical exams – we know their weaknesses and their strengths and most importantly, we ensure that each one of our Associate’s journey to qualifying is efficient and successful.

As the Coordinators, Di and Dee are fully committed to each Associate. They have a
24 hour “hot line” to us and together we are obsessed with producing teachers of
excellence.

To assist our Associates to qualify at their highest possible level we have compiled
an ASSOCIATE KIT covering everything that Associates must know about the
examining/teaching process, and we expose them to outside lecturers and training.

The TDA work hard and fast to continually inspire and motivate our Associates... our system to do this is so successful that other associations have gone the same route.

TDA = LEADERS ...... never FOLLOWERS!

Theatre Dance Association…….paving the way!
