ABOUT THE COURSE
ABOUT THE COURSE
This is a vibrant course putting students at the centre of a highly physical dance training programme focusing on technique, performance, choreography, and body conditioning.
Students study a mixture of Contemporary, Jazz, and Commercial dance, alongside other styles, across the two years, and is the perfect springboard for future dance training institutions.
Whilst on this course there are an exciting variety of workshops and trips, including London and participation on our international trip to New York. This trip includes the opportunity to watch Broadway productions and participate in workshops.

Choreography
Choreography
Look up your performance on YouTube, find a piece of choreography and learn it.
It doesn't have to be a full number, just a couple of counts of 8. If your show doesn't have much choreography to work with, please feel free to choreograph the music of your choice and show us your creativity.
Remember choreography doesn't always need a large space to work in, but if you do find you don't have enough space get yourself into the garden or if you don't have a garden to a nearby green.
