Dance

This three-year dance degree fuses performance training with creative and academic workshops. Professional dance practitioners devised it to produce adaptable performers, choreographers and teachers who can respond to a changing sector. The course rewards students who enjoy disciplined rehearsal, constructive feedback and collaborative creative work. Training takes place in a regional hub for dance and performing arts, where students study contemporary, ballet, jazz and commercial styles. Learners work inside a simulated dance company, building technique, creativity and leadership through contact with people who work in the industry. Students build the stamina, discipline and confidence needed for demanding professional dance schedules. Graduates leave with the skills needed for professional dance work or for progression into further study in dance education. Graduates often combine performing with teaching, choreography or work in the wider arts sector.
