Year 1
The focus of your first year is to build a solid technical framework through regular classes in ballet, contemporary, jazz and tap. This is complemented by studying choreography and current commercial dance styles. Our masterclass series covers cross-cultural styles and street dance. You also take classes in acting, singing and voice. Performance experience is gained through informal sharings of work and an in-house performance at the end of the year.
