ISTD - The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) is one of the world's leading dance examination boards.
Acrobatic Arts - or acro as it is commonly referred to by dancers and dance professionals, is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements.
TDSC - The ethos of TDSC dance exam board is rooted in fostering a positive and enriching experience for every child who participates in our examinations. Our primary goal is to instill confidence and a sense of accomplishment in each student, regardless of their aspirations in dance
We are proud to offer classes through accredited exam boards and our ISTD examinations are Ofqual accredited- see the graph below
'My daughter was thrilled with her Tap exam mark - she started as a 'just for fun' dancer but now does three classes per week and has grown in confidence. I am so proud of her taking an exam at Sazonova. I recommend this school and the exams they offer'.

We have lots of classes which are for non examined and are just for fun sessions/ working towards choreography and free work.
These sessions are just as important as the examined classes but have less focus on grades. The focus is on improving ability, increasing technique and performance skills.
​
All classes take part in our large scale production shows so everyone has their time to shine on stage.
