The UKA

The UKA (United Kingdom Alliance of Professional Teachers of Dance), founded 1902, is a corporate member of the British Council of Ballroom Dancing and the Central Council of Physical Recreation. It has gained NVQ accreditation i.e. the government recognises the UKA as an examining body for the National Vocational Qualification. If you pass the entrance exam to join the LeRoc French Jive Federation this automatically entitles you to become a member of the UKA. You can then enjoy various benefits of UKA membership such as conferences, workshops, magazine, public liability insurance cover etc.

What if I am a member of another dance association?

Though joining the LeRoc Modern Jive Federation entitles you to join the UKA, if you are already a qualified teacher belonging to another recognised dance association then you can waive UKA membership and pay only the examination fee plus the Federation membership fee.
