At Open Stage, we are dedicated to nurturing our pupils’ passion for dance and performing arts while helping them achieve recognised qualifications through structured examination pathways.
We prepare students for examinations with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), Acrobatic Arts, AcroDance and International Performing Arts & Theatre (I-PATH), offering opportunities for students to develop their skills and gain qualifications across a wide range of disciplines.
Our pupils can work towards examinations from Pre-Primary through to Advanced 2 levels, with training designed to develop strong foundations in technique, musicality, artistry, confidence and performance quality. We are extremely proud to have achieved a 100% pass rate in our examinations, reflecting the dedication of our students and the commitment of our experienced teaching team.
Our examination subjects include:
ISTD Imperial Ballet
ISTD Modern Theatre
ISTD Tap
ISTD Classical Greek
ISTD Contemporary
Acrobatic Arts and AcroDance
I-PATH Musical Theatre
I-PATH Acting
I-PATH Singing
Examinations provide pupils with personal goals, a sense of achievement and the opportunity to celebrate their progress as they continue their performing arts journey.
Whether students are taking their first examination or progressing towards vocational levels, Open Stage provides a supportive and inspiring environment where every achievement is celebrated.
