Evolve is our elite junior associate membership training scheme for talented children from across the region.
HOW IT WORKS
Pupils audition to join the membership which, if successful, then automatically permits them to attend as many of the intense elite training Sundays (which run alongside our college Open Days) as they wish*. This enables members to benefit from the advanced and specialist training from our range of top class industry professionals. Members will also benefit from extended offerings such as additional classes, project offerings, holiday workshops at discounted rates etc.
Sunday training dates for the 2025-2026 academic year are:
- Sunday 27th Sept 2026
- Sunday 25th Oct 2026
- Sunday 22nd Nov 2026
- Sunday 13th Dec 2026
- Sunday 24th Jan 2027
- Sunday 21st Feb 2027
- Sunday 7th March 2027
- Sunday 18th April 2027
- Sunday 16th May 2027
- Sunday 13th June 2027
Please note: Whilst every endeavour will be made to stick to these dates, changes are always possible if an important event gets booked in.
We aim to provide access to as many different teachers as possible throughout the course of the year, all highly qualified and experienced specialists in their fields. The scheme is intended to supplement dancers core training at their local dance schools and we encourage dancers to continue with all elements of their core training, including exams, shows, workshops, competitions and championships. We recognise that this presents many other commitments for young dancers, therefore this training program can be booked on to monthly or yearly, with all proposed dates for the year provided in advance*
*Fees apply
