Welcome

A warm welcome to the Commerical & Contemporary Dance curriculum page! We can't wait to welcome you this September. Here you'll find lots of information about the Dance courses we offer, plus useful videos to watch and activities to take part in prior to starting your course.

Getting ready to start your course is exciting but at the same time you may be a little nervous. Don’t worry! Whether you’ve had some experience of this course or not, we are here to advise and guide you at this important time in your life.

Our tutors have put together a series of exclusive pre-enrolment activities to give you a taster of the work we will be doing in college. There are also links and resources that we think will help further your knowledge of this sector. We hope you find these interesting and useful.

Student Success

Alisha Thompson studied Level 3 Performing Arts Dance, having always loved dancing from a young age. She chose Warrington & Vale Royal College because no other college was offering such a variety of styles of dance to study. Since finishing her course, Alisha has secured a job as a teaching assistant.

Alisha enjoyed being involved in all the enrichment activities that Dance brings, such as showcases and choreography competitions.

She advises, “If anyone does feel nervous about coming to college on your own, just go for it. You need to do what you want to do and love what you do.”
