Pro Class
Every year we programme professional level technique classes to support invited young dancers in their training.
Identified through our Conservatoire programme, annual auditions and productions, dancers are invited to attend our Pro Class programme. Led by leading Dance Artists and senior members of our artistic team, Pro Class is a 2-hour technique class with particular emphasis on the New Adventures approach.
Invited dancers are able to stay in contact with us and explore the way we work, while New Adventures offer encouragement and development to the next generation of emerging talent interested in pathways into the company.
Conservatoires
We are committed to supporting dance schools and conservatoires in preparing the next generation of talent for our company and the wider sector.
Our Resident Lead Dance Artists work with institutions across the country to introduce students to the unique language of our work and deepen our connection with faculties and support their dancers’ training.
In 2019/20 we delivered a combination of workshops and mock auditions in Urdang Academy, Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, Performers College, London Studio Centre, The Royal Ballet School and Trinity Laban and look forward to leading choreographic residencies with the Centre for Advanced Training at Trinity Laban, Tring Park Performing Arts and Central School of Ballet.
Internationally we have held residencies at Princeton University and Sarasota Ballet and workshops at USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance.
