Who are the Faculty committees?
The Faculty committees provide a two-way channel for communication and consultation within the wider membership body. Each dance faculty committee is elected by the eligible full-teaching and life members of the ISTD.
Faculty Committee members generously give their time and expertise voluntarily to attend regular meetings with the Head of Faculty Development for their genre and attend cross-genre working groups. The committee and the Head of Faculty Development work together to represent the views and expertise of members in the development of syllabi and examination work. They also oversee a wide range of competitions, events, and courses to meet the needs of teachers and students.

The aim of this session is to discuss your syllabus faculty questions and help highlight what is needed to improve examination components with your dancers, such as Line and Style, Limbering, Quality of Movement, Rhythm-Improvisation and Dance Movements. As well as any challenges and reflections you may have from your classes that you wish to share, which could be anything from the Option A/B syllabus to examination preparation, and exam footwear to discussions about free work.
These meetings will not be recorded for future viewing.
