Education

The World Dance Council Education Department (WDCED) is an educational organization arranged under the World Dance Council to inspire, stimulate and promote excellence in education in DanceSport educators, coaches, adjudicators and dancers through instruction, development of knowledge, and understanding of the history of past Ballroom legends and endeavors.

In many forms of dance including ballet, Ballroom Dance, and stage dance, medal examinations (also known as medal tests) are held. They are a way for a young dancer to mark his or her progress in the art of dance.
