Modern dance encourages self-discipline and self-expression, helping children develop their listening skills and follow instructions. The ISTD Modern syllabus teaches children to work both individually and in groups, enhancing coordination, good posture, strength, and suppleness. It also provides an opportunity for children to enjoy entertaining music and engage in longer, more complex exercises, allowing them to express themselves freely while developing essential dance skills.

ISTD Grade 3 Modern is suitable for students aged 9 and above. By this stage, many pupils will have progressed through previous grades. In ISTD Grade 3, a higher level of muscle strength is required as the children are now older and integrate the basic steps they have previously learned into more complex formations such as Compound Steps and their Amalgamation.
