Advanced Training Programme

ATP
 

The ATP is open to students aged between 11 and 17 (on the 1st September) from across the North of England.

The core tuition is based around three weekly classes totalling eight hours per week, as well as intensive Easter and summer training schools. Students will take regular contemporary, classical and body conditioning classes.

In addition to technique, students undergo a wide range of activites, classes and workshops to extend their movement experience. These take the form of movement/performance skill classes, repertoire classes (contemporary and classical), creative classes and choreography, there are also theatre trips to see leading dance companies and artists, and regular performance opportunities.

ATP AUDITIONS

The Auditions for the ATP is a two stage process. Applicants will attend a FIRST STAGE AUDITION at which they will take part in a basic technique class adn a creative class.

Candidates for whom we feel the ATP may be appropriate will be invited to a SECOND STAGE AUDITION at which they will take part in a further technique class, creative session and interview. Successful candidates will then be screened by our physiotherapist.

Candidates wishing to attend one of the FIRST STAGE auditions should fill in an application form indicating their preferred date and return it to The Dance City Academy. Application forms are available from Dance City or by contacting Michelle Lisle (see below)

Costume - Applicants will need to wear:-

Females     Leotard, tights, ballet shoes or bare feet
