Concert dance

It is frequently performed in a theatre setting, though this is not a requirement, and it is usually choreographed and performed to set music.

The UK has a number of dance training and examination boards, with the majority[citation needed] having a separate branch dedicated to theatre dance, with codified syllabi in each technique.

Many dance teachers and schools worldwide, prepare their pupils for dance examinations and qualifications with a UK-based organisation, with notable examples including the Royal Academy of Dance, the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and the International Dance Teachers Association.

All UK theatre dance organisations are consistent in offering classical ballet, tap and modern or jazz as their core theatre branch subjects[citation needed].

Many also offer 'theatre craft' or 'stage dance', which is devised to reflect the choreography seen in musical theatre.
