What is an affiliate member as opposed to a full member?
A full member holds one or more teachers’ diplomas and may use the letters CSTD together with the distinguishing letters for the syllabus, eg. CSTD/cb (classical ballet).
Affiliate membership is available to teachers of dancing, professional dancers and student dance teachers who do not hold the Society’s teaching qualification.
