Our Classes
Classes will be lead and taught by experienced industry professionals and guest artists. Entry to the programme will be via an audition process.
Some benefits of being part of an associate scheme?
- It allows the children to work with others at a similar level to them. In a lot of cases children on associate programmes tend to be some of the best in their class at their dance school. Working with others at the same level helps drive them forwards.
- The longer lessons allow for more in-depth teaching.
- Being part of a reputable programme can increase a dancer’s confidence.
- Many dancers meet life-long friends at associate programmes.
- It is a good introduction to an audition process, not just to achieve the place initially but to sustain it every year and progress through the classes.
