What the college says

On this one-year course you will work towards the University of the Arts (UAL) Level 2 Diploma in Performing and Productions Arts (Dance). The course is the equivalent of four GCSEs. Our Dance diploma programme provides a broad base of professional training in a range of dance style, learning the fundamentals and techniques required to progress within dance based study. Performance opportunities are built into the curriculum throughout both years, ranging from informal, in-studio presentations of work to full evening performances staged in our very own Platform Theatre. Technical training and performance are combined with creative practice and choreography, as well as challenging theory and research. You will be enabled to think critically about dance, enhancing your understanding of the industry and your development as a performer and practitioner. City College's dance programme enables students to take increased ownership of their own training path, while producing dance students who have the versatility to progress onto Level 3 study within Performing arts. Follow the dance department�s Instagram @ccn_dance for update and examples of current students' work.
