Do you love to dance? Are you aged 10-16 yrs?
If you have passion, ambition, creativity, dedication and the potential to excel in dance, the Centre for Advanced Training programme can help you pursue a career in dance.
Centre for Advanced Training programmes are funded by the government’s Music & Dance Scheme. All participants can apply for a means-tested grant and for those who qualify for the grant, training is either free or subsidised.
You do not need any formal dance training but you will need to demonstrate natural ability, such as exceptional musicality and physicality. Applicants must have commitment and a passion for dance and, if successful, will enter the programme in September 2018. Interviews are by invitation and will take place during May.
If this sounds like you, applications are available on our website.
You can also contact the Centre for Advanced Deputy Manager at 020 7121 1037 or email for more information.
Deadline for applications: Monday 19 March
Applicants will be allocated an audition within two weeks of submitting their completed application form, at the earliest by Tue 14 March.
