What's it all about?

Full Fee

Full-time £8,450

The BA (Hons) is designed primarily to train, develop, and encourage you to be a creative and technical dancer and performer. This will be achieved through regular technique sessions that are delivered by lecturers who have trained at a high level and have a wealth of vocational experience. You will become part of a collaborative dance company, devising, rehearsing and performing your own material, as well as other choreographers’ work, and you will be given numerous performance opportunities, both internally and externally to the College.

There will be many exciting workshops and opportunities to work with professional companies and gain real life experience of working in the industry. You will also network with employers throughout the course and create an industry standard portfolio and show reel to enable you to seek employment in the dance sector upon successful completion.
