Course summary


Prepare for a successful career as a dancer or choreographer for the stage and screen by enhancing your technique and performance, regardless of whether your ambitions lie within a classical or contemporary setting.

Taught at The Brighton Academy, this course is for professional dancers who can choreograph their own work and work creatively with other 21st century choreographers. It helps you develop the ability to work in companies and be adaptable to different styles and methods of working. The focus is on being a reflective dance practitioner who appreciates the nature and potential of dance as an art form. It also explores the opportunities for dancers to make significant contributions in the world of work and professional practice. You'll get the chance to follow one of two educational specialisms, depending on which best matches the area of the industry in which you're aspiring to have a successful career. Both specialisms involve professional preparation, which includes advanced skills training, inviting practitioners and graduates to share their knowledge and experience of the workplace. Your professional training is complemented by advice on developing an online presence and portfolio. The dance specialism has an emphasis on various jazz techniques, contemporary, commercial, tap and ballet. At its core this programme focuses on rigorous technical training. This includes workshops and productions led by external professionals, who develop your creative skills so that you're ready to enter the professional/commercial sector. Within this context you'll become an independent thinker, a self-motivated artist and a freelance practitioner. The classical specialism focuses more on a career in the world of ballet and contemporary. The course helps you to develop the ability to work in companies and be adaptable to different styles and methods of working. You’ll be taught through a range of activities including lectures, workshops, seminars, skills classes, rehearsals, tutorials, theatre visits and theatre productions.
