A Career in Dance and the Performing Arts
Dance now forms a large part of the National Curriculum and pupils have the option to study, for example, GCSE and A Level Dance and the new Diploma starting in schools and colleges from September 2009. Pupils at the Academy benefit from their experiences and examinations and this helps and reinforces their school studies but this is only a first step in progressing to a career in the performing arts or in becoming a teacher.
For those looking to follow a career in dance and drama, the Academy provides one to one tuition to help them prepare for each aspect – dance, drama and singing - of their audition choice.
Our students are highly sought after by the region’s dance and drama colleges. This is due to the individual quality and flair they have developed and experienced with us, that other schools in the vicinity can’t match.
This is reinforced with the experience and performing knowledge they have gained which puts our student’s years ahead of their contemporaries.
With the Academy’s training, contacts and guidance many have successfully gained entry into the country’s leading dance and theatre colleges and universities. The Academy is also very proud that a large percentage has also gained a DADA (Dance and Drama Scholarship) Award.
