The exam room must be kept at a suitable temperature, with adequate ventilation as required and access to drinking water at all times. The optimal temperature for a dance studio is recommended to be 65-75° Fahrenheit (18-24° Celsius).

- Candidates should be able to dance the syllabus full out, comfortably in the examination space.
- Adequate lighting and heating.
- Drinking or mineral water.
- Soap and towel in the washroom.
- iPod connection, CD player and CDs (if required). CDs should be of good quality with adequate volume.
- Mirrors should be covered.
- Please ensure that any windows/doors which allow outside observation of the candidates’ exam room are covered.
- Formal exam conditions must be observed at all times – please ensure no one enters the room whilst the exams are taking place (only the examiner, candidates & pianist/music operator should be present).
Please note:
The changing room for candidates must be separate from the examination room and not a screened-off partition.
In all breaks, including lunch, the examiner should be left alone and uninterrupted.
For class assessments every child must have their number pinned to their uniform.
