TRANSITION YEAR DANCE COURSE

TRANSITION YEAR DANCE COURSE – PARENTS INFO

The transition year is an important part of a young person’s development. For most, the transition year is designed to help students work out what careers they may be interested in pursuing. A career in dance is a vocation, a passion. Some students know from a young age that a career in dance or performing arts is their calling. For others, it’s a journey of discovery that leads to the same conclusion.

For over fifteen years the College of Dance’s one-year Transition Year certificate dance course provides a valuable insight into what it takes to train to become a professional dancer. If your child is serious about pursuing a career in dance the College’s Transition Year Dance Course is ideally suited to them. Not only does it help students understand what is required to become a professional performer it will ensure they realise the hard work and commitment needed to be successful in such a challenging and competitive career.

All Transition Year students study alongside our two-year diploma course students. Students partake in all aspect of College life including a series of private workshops organised at the College, regular performance opportunities and be a part of our end of year Graduation Performances.

Every student, including all Transition Years pupils, are closely monitored, managed carefully and respectfully with a consistent focus on their physical and mental well-being. The College’s Artistic Directors are always available to discuss any concerns a student might have and hold regular meetings with students to review their dance development, dance technique and psychological welfare.
