Entry requirements

Course admission is subject to audition for which there is a £15 fee.

Candidates do not need to prepare material for the audition which is held in a relaxed and positive atmosphere. Potential is as important to us as formal dance training and we are looking for people who will apply themselves and are willing to work hard. As part of the audition you will undertake short classes in ballet and contemporary that are used to assess what you can do and your ability to apply corrections. Do not worry even if these styles are new to you as you will be supported and encouraged to demonstrate your unique potential.

These classes will be followed by a creative task and a short interview where you will have opportunities to ask questions and receive feedback. We recommend that you wear clothing suitable for dancing. You will be working barefoot for contemporary and the creative task. You may wear ballet shoes for the ballet class but this is not an absolute requirement. We suggest you bring a bottle with water to drink into the studio.

You will need 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above including English, Mathematics and ideally Science. However, in some circumstances and for exceptionally talented dancers we may consider those who do not quite meet this requirement. We also require two references, one of which should be academic.
