WORLD-CLASS DANCE TRAINING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Our National Centres for Advanced Training in Dance (also known as Dance CATs) provide world-class pre vocational training to young people aged 10 – 18 with a passion and aptitude for dance, regardless of their personal circumstance or experience. Classes take place in the evenings and at weekends at 10 arts venues across the country and we provide means-tested bursaries, funded through the Department for Education’s Music and Dance Scheme, to ensure every young person with potential can take part.
We train dancers in Ballet, Circus, Contemporary, South Asian and Street Dance.
We partner with venues in Birmingham, Bournemouth, Exeter, Ipswich, Leeds, London, Newcastle, Nottingham, Salford, and Swindon.
