BRIEFING
Honor your profession!

All serious professions have their official organization.

Practitioners register there as soon as they enter the profession.

Doctors, lawyers, engineers, notaries, accountants… are always registered and show it to their clients. It inspires confidence.

If for you dance is a hobby or a pastime, you are not a dance professional.

If you are qualified and getting paid for your services, you are a professional.

Dance is not just a job, it is a serious occupation.

Honor your profession, register with the CID!

BRIEFING

Facts about Certification

A teacher is someone who has students. Having more students shows that many people trust you to teach them. Imagine a teacher with many diplomas and prizes, but no students.

  The International Certification states that a student has taken classes at a given school; it is issued at the request of the School Director. Students need it for their career as proof of their studies – they will prefer your school because you offer it.

You do not need to have your students examined by someone else, unless the examiner is much more qualified than you are.

Beware of “organizations” offering diplomas, titles or prizes, they are usually commercial businesses in disguise. Such documents have no legal value.

BRIEFING

Breakdancing in the Olympic Games

Breakdancing has been renamed ‘breaking’ to be included in the Olympics as a sport.
Dancers have been disguised as athletes with the promise of earning more money.
Spectators are deceived.

Dance is one of the major arts, together with theater and music, it is not a competitive sport.

This is not the first time – ballroom dancing has been renamed to dancesport with the same intention. What is next: ballet, belly dance, folk dance?

It is deplorable to see the noble Olympic spirit having to kidnap dances from the arts, inventing sports to provide new spectacles in a similar spirit as gladiators in Roman arenas.

Sports receive a hundred times more financing than the Arts, artists demand equality.

Games, leave the Arts alone!

BRIEFING
Diplomas, prizes, licenses, championships etc.

Anyone can print a diploma, the question is whether it is recognized. Ask a government agency or a lawyer if a qualification has legal value. 

1. Diplomas by private bodies do not have legal value. They are very private even if they have pompous names like International, Royal, Imperial, Confederation, Institute etc.
2. Diplomas issued abroad are not valid in your country. Ask the Ministry of Education or any public agency.
3. Most teachers refuse to have their students examined. Some have them examined by teachers of their own school.
4. Examiners are not more qualified than you. Ask for their qualifications before you pay.
5. Most examiners pass all students. That is why they never post their results.
6. Titles are incompatible. Diplomas are not recognized by holders of other diplomas.
7. Examiners are costly. Examining is just another business.
8. Examinations for artists? Painters, musicians, poets, actors do not need examinations. Neither do dancers.
