Esther Don was appointed by Judi Hatton, when Judy was the President of the United States Imperial Society, of Teachers of Dancing, to create an up to date and comprehensive American style syllabus. The task was completed for both Ballroom and Latin-American (called Rhythm in the US) styles and they cover all levels for the required American style examinations.
The Esther Don American Style Syllabus is recognised by the National Dance Council of America (NDCA) and is currently being used by the USISTD and the NDTA as their official source of the techniques from which all the American Style examinations are based.

Ad some excitement to your studio by planning Student Medalist Test or Professional Exams today.
Pasha Pashkov and Inna Brayer
Here are some letters from two studios that have recently participated in the USISTD program:
"Dear USISTD,
I am the Coordinator of the Ballroom Program at Sandra Cameron Dance Center in NYC. As the Coordinator I created the Medalist Classes at our school. They have been very successful not only because of the teachers but because of the presence of Miriam Ellis, the examiner. Ms. Ellis has conducted examinations at our school on four different occasions. She presented herself in a most professional and organized fashion and has encouraged our students to continue their studies. They have gained confidence from their experiences with her because she has been positive, enthusiastic and accurate. I recognize that Miriam is a wonderful example of the high standards that represent the USISTD.
Respectfully, Ellen Tittler "
"Dear USISTD,
I have just completed having 7 individuals take their professional exams here at BYU. To my knowledge it was a very positive experience for everyone. Both Mandy and Miriam were extremely helpful in providing any information I needed for organizing the exams. The usistd website was also very helpful. Miriam is so pleasant and professional it is always a great experience working with her.
I enjoy my association with the Imperial Society and want to thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Marci Edgington"
