UCan2 dancers are entered for the New Zealand Federal Association of Teachers of Dancing (NZFATD) medals. Elementary Bronze, Silver and Gold Medal Tests are prepared in the 'social level' classes (ie. Adult Improvers and Intermediate and Kids & Tweens Beginner and Improvers.

From there, you can move on to Advanced Medals.

The Medal Programme prepares students for Advanced Medals and is for those who have completed a minimum of Intermediate level and would like to continue to learn at a more technical level.

Advanced Medals commence at Bronze, through to Gold, then Gold Bars (4), Gold Star, Bars to Gold Star (4), finally arriving at the pinnacle which is the Oscar. It's a long journey - worth every minute! All Advanced Medals are style-specific, so you go from Bronze to Oscar in each style - Ballroom, Latin American, and New Vogue.

It takes a minimum of two terms to prepare for each of these Advanced Medals, so you need to join the class at the beginning of Term 1 or Term 3. The Medal Tests are at the end of Terms 2 and 4.
