Why become a bbodance Associate Member?
​
AMs are connected to an organisation that is professionally recognised by national Regulatory Bodies (Ofqual and Qualification Wales). Our eligibility requirements centre around student safety, best practice and quality training, so joining as an AM means joining a community committed to excellence in dance education.
Holding AM status ensures teachers are up to date with current industry practices and can access training to continue developing. We believe teaching doesn’t start and end with one qualification; our teachers are constantly learning, reflecting and sharing their challenges to ensure their students can access quality, sustainable and enjoyable training.
We foster lifelong connections with our teaching members and are proud that each member shares our ethos of promoting the enjoyment of dance in its many forms.
