Recognised training.
International certification.
A path with a future.
From training to certification, we build paths that recognise progress, reward merit and prepare every dancer to go further.
Three international programmes. One path, built level by level.
At Flash Li Dance School, excellence in training also means the chance to build a structured, progressive and internationally recognised path.
The school offers three training programmes certified by prestigious international organisations in dance education, allowing students to progress through different levels of learning and to earn internationally recognised certification, with the possibility of continuing towards a professional career.
Royal Academy of Dance
Classical Ballet
Classical Ballet training at Flash Li Dance School follows the prestigious programme of the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), a world reference in dance teaching and assessment, recognised for its high standards of quality and rigour.
Through a structured, progressive, and internationally recognised programme, RAD examinations certify each stage of a student’s development and enable them to progress to increasingly advanced levels of training, including the possibility of pursuing a vocational pathway.
More than a certification, RAD training represents a commitment to rigour, quality and excellence in the teaching of Classical Ballet.
Acrobatic Arts
Acro Dance
Acro Dance training at Flash Li Dance School follows the international Acrobatic Arts programme, a specialised methodology that combines technical rigour, structured progression and safety in learning.
Structured across different levels of training, the programme develops essential skills such as strength, flexibility, balance, body control, and acrobatic technique, using progressions tailored to each dancer’s level.
Assessment through Acrobatic Arts examinations follows international standards, certifying each stage of the dancer’s journey while providing an objective evaluation of their technical progress and acquired skills.
International Dance Teachers Association
Modern Jazz & Contemporary
The IDTA programmes allow students to build a progressive, certified training path, with qualifications regulated in the United Kingdom and, at certain levels, eligible for UCAS, which is relevant for entry to some British higher education institutions.
Through a structured and progressive programme, students develop essential skills in Modern Jazz and Contemporary Dance, including technique, musicality, coordination, dynamics, versatility, interpretation, and quality of movement, combining strong technical training with the development of their own artistic identity.
When excellence is recognised beyond the classroom.
In IDTA training, achieving an outstanding result can mean far more than a grade.
Dancers who stand out in examinations at eligible levels may be nominated by the examiners themselves for the International Theatre Dance Awards, a prestigious distinction that recognises students with exceptional performances.
With highly demanding selection criteria, this nomination distinguishes only a fraction of the candidates assessed each year, giving the selected dancers the chance to see their talent, technique and artistic merit recognised internationally.
At Flash Li we believe every examination is a stage of progress — but, for those who want to go further, it can also become a door to new stages, new opportunities and new levels of excellence.

Certification
How each stage is certified
Progression through the different programmes includes examinations corresponding to each grade of training, assessed by international examiners, ensuring rigorous and recognised assessment standards.
Entry to the examinations is subject to a registration fee, which varies according to the programme and the grade of training, and is communicated to students in advance.
More than reaching a new level, each certification represents knowledge, progress, and the building of an artistic path of excellence.
