Aussie vs USA dance tests....
Just so I can understand what dance levels are comparable to the Australian testing (we dont have Pre-Bronze etc), I was wondering if someone would be nice enough to list the test levels for dance in the USA, and what dances are required for each... then I can compare them to the Australian tests
Thankyou!!

It's worth noting that Canadian tests also differ very slightly from US tests. Ours are as follows:
Preliminary: Dutch Waltz, Canasta Tango, Baby Blues Junior Bronze: Swing, Fiesta, Willow Waltz Senior Bronze: European, Tenfox, Fourteenstep Junior Silver: Keat's Foxtrot, American Waltz, Harris Tango, Rocker Foxtrot Senior Silver: Blues, Kilian, Starlight Waltz, Paso Doble, Cha-Cha Congelado (must pass 4 of 5) Gold: Viennese Waltz, Westminster Waltz, Argentine Tango, Quickstep, Samba (must pass 4 of 5) Diamond: Ravensberger Waltz, Austrian Waltz, Gold Waltz, Tango Romantica, Yankee Polka, Rhumba. You must pass 4 of 6 (In Canada, the Midnight Blues is not part of the test stream yet.)

Thanks guys!!
There are some dances in there I dont recognise, so it definately differs.. The Australian Dances are as follows: Prelim: For everyone who wants to test in ANY stream, not just dance... Figures/Edges Elementary 1: Dutch Waltz, Canasta Tango Elementary 2: Swing Dance, Fiesta Tango Primary: Foxtrot, European Waltz, Silver Samba, Swing 14 step (not sure whether this is meant to be Swing Dance & 14 Step, or if there is a dance called Swing 14 step) Novice: Rocker Foxtrot, Starlight Waltz, Cha Cha Congelado, Tango Junior: Westminster Waltz, Kilian, Quickstep, Blues Senior: Viennese Waltz, Paso Doble, Rhumba, Argentine Tango For us, if you achieve top 3 ??? (its either top 3 or 2) at the Senior Nationals Comp, then you are eligible for Four Continents and Worlds (as far as I know.. will update you).

(Cassarilda, I just wrote out all the dances, was about to press "post", when I saw yours!! Obviously, great minds think alike!! )
If someone in England or other countries could also post that country's dance test structure, it would make for interesting comparisons! For a start, it seems we do the Cha Cha earlier than both USA and Canada (I'm assuming that Canada's "Senior Silver" is more akin to Junior than Novice) - it's certainly earlier than the USA's International Level! Mind you, I have a feeling that an International level dancer will do it better than a Novice level dancer any day... |
