WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL

Students will not only work with our experienced full-time teaching staff, but also have the opportunity to participate in workshops & master classes with a wide variety of professional choreographers, tutors & performers who will come to our studio. This provides a valuable link to current professional practices & influential contacts within the industry.

 

Throughout the course students are carefully monitored and encouraged to discuss class progress with course tutors. In-house and external productions, work experience and annual performances aim to consolidate all that has been learnt in the classroom, giving students confidence & experience to perform in front of an audience, as well as preparing them for a career in professional performance.
