Medal Tests for Young Dancers

Foreword

The Medal Tests for Young Dancers were introduced in 2003 and are proving increasingly popular. Many of the teachers involved in presenting candidates have access to the original dance instructions but it was felt that a single booklet of all the instructions could prove convenient and useful. The instructions given here generally follow the format in the most recent edition of the RSCDS books but, as noted below, changes have been made in some cases in order to describe particular formations in a consistent manner.
