Dance CertHE

This exciting practical training course has been designed by professional dance practitioners to introduce the skills and knowledge required to become a dancer performer, choreographer, practitioner and teacher. This course combines technical training, creative workshops, performance opportunities, academic and industry skills. In addition to continuous training in contemporary, ballet and jazz, urban and commercial techniques, you’ll be offered the unique opportunity to explore a variety of dance processes and movement styles to become a versatile performer. We have strong links established with dance companies and practitioners working regionally and nationally. As a result, there are a variety of opportunities and placements throughout the year for you to participate in, which mirror current industry practices and inform your Performance and Transferable Skills modules. Previous students from the related FdA Dance and BA (Hons) Dance programmes have successful careers in both the commercial and contemporary industries, working within performance, choreography, teaching and dance production, in addition to related careers in the creative arts and leisure industries, notably fitness/personal training, events management and sports studies.
