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 2024-2025 academic year are:
- Sunday 2nd June 2024
- Sunday 1st September 2024
- Sunday 6th October 2024
- Sunday 3rd November 2024
- Sunday 1st December 2024
- Sunday 15th December 2024
- Sunday 12th January 2025
- Sunday 9th February 2025
- Sunday 2nd March 2025
- Sunday 30th March 2025
- Sunday 20th April 2025
- Sunday 4th April 2025
- Sunday 15th June 2025
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*
