Question, so where do dance students have to take dance exams? In the USA, my independent studio does get professional coaching on occasion in addition to the usual private lessons, but we don't have any formal exams for different levels. The teacher will use their best judgement on when a student is ready to move up to silver, gold, etc. And how interested the student is in doing more advanced dancing.
Dance Vision has Pro & Student exams. Many of the judges and coaches like Steven Dougherty, my coach are an examiner for them. Terpsichore also does exams as well as USISTD. Just like Piano lessons, many teachers judge students' levels and move on without exams. Of course, you can get certification and exams as well. I hope it helps.
