Following the success of the tap syllabus the Association, in 1936, embraced the disciplines of ballet, modern, acrobatic forms of dance to which was later added a mime syllabus. The Association of American Dancing has continued as an examination body concerned both with students seeking to become performers, and those intending a teaching career.
After the loss of the London headquarters in Buckingham Palace Gardens during the war the Association moved to Derbyshire where the work of widening and improving the examination and performing standards has continued.
