Get ready to leap into an electrifying journey with our Advanced Diploma in Dance, where every move and groove shapes your future. This isn't just any course; it's a full-on immersive experience blending hardcore studio practice with the brains behind the beauty of dance.

Imagine hitting the studio daily, mastering the fluidity of Chinese dance, and the bold expressiveness of Contemporary dance. But we’re not stopping there. You’ll dive deep into the world of dance through movement analysis, teaching methods, the history that shaped our steps, and even dance criticism to sharpen your artistic voice.

But wait, there’s a world of dance out there, and we’re bringing it to you through workshops and guest lectures exploring the rich tapestries of African, East Indian, Chinese, and Native dance traditions. This is about more than just technique; it’s about becoming a well-rounded master of the art, ready to innovate and inspire.

And because true art thrives on expression, you'll get hands-on with choreography and repertory, crafting performances that tell stories, evoke emotions, and challenge perceptions.

This course is your launchpad to becoming a dance maven with the autonomy to lead, whether that’s in shaping a new dance company or bringing the joy of dance to community spaces.
