Dance Days

Dance Days are designed to give students a taste of our professional training course and guidance on how to access full-time vocational training with Central School of Ballet. The one day events are held annually in locations around the UK for young dancers aged 11-16 years who are hoping to pursue full-time vocational training in a Higher Education setting.

Dance Days applications are now open.

What are Dance Days?

Dance Days take place alongside some of Central’s undergraduate in-person auditions that happen across the UK. They are therefore a fantastic way to prepare for your undergraduate audition, learn more about the audition process and also meet some of Central tutors. If you are auditioning in Glasgow, Manchester or Truro, we highly recommend looking at attending the corresponding Dance Day to prepare yourself for your audition and become familiar with Central’s tutors and audition process.

Dance Days include classes in Ballet and Contemporary led by Central School of Ballet’s undergraduate tutors, designed to emulate Central’s audition process. The Ballet class includes pointe work or coaching and is accompanied by a live pianist.

Dance Days are suitable for all students aged 11-16, with aspirations to pursue full-time training. Audition technique is a vital skill in the performance industry and Dance Days can therefore prepare dancers not only for course auditions, but also for castings, job opportunities and short courses.
