Read what BBO have to say about the qualifications they offer…
Students have different reasons for learning to dance so we have created different pathways for Graded Examinations and Vocational training, and dance for pleasure, so that students can be rewarded for their achievement and dedication.
Regardless of the route they take, all students are awarded for their Examination achievements through a certificate and, where relevant, a mark breakdown and badge. Our Examinations are available to everyone; all dancers have the opportunity to succeed with our qualifications and Registered Teachers.
Dance Awards
Dance Awards give students opportunity to perform a series of dance across all genres that have been choreographed by their teacher. These build in length and complexity according to the Dance Award Level.
Performance Awards
For students who dance purely for leisure or find a full Graded/Vocational Graded Examination too much at this time, we offer Performance Awards. Your teacher will be able to work with you to prepare a selection of exercises from the Grade you are studying.
Performance Awards are a great marker for achievement and help students to grow in confidence.

“The staff at HHDC provide vital training and support to anyone who wants to advance their career in the performing arts industry or even people who enjoy performing but don’t necessarily want to continue it as a career as there are so many transferable skills taught.”
