ABSTRACT

AMATEUR MEDAL TESTS In most sports and recreations it is possible to make a fairly accurate assessment of one's progress. Yet for many years devotees of ballroom dancing, unless they belonged to the comparative few who compete in public dance halls, possessed no yardstick against which to measure their prowess. Today we have Amateur Medal Tests. There is no doubt that the general standard of ballroom dancing in this country has improved enormously since the leading professional associations and societies instituted these tests.
