The programme will run full time Monday to Friday from Monday January 20th to Sunday May 11th 2025, and is ideal for all dance graduates. No audition is necessary. The programme can also be a natural progression from the G2P course currently running in Birmingham. The Graduate Artists Programme will be based in Birmingham and will run under the umbrella of the highly successful and international GradPro initiative. There will also be the opportunity for entry into the regionals of GradPro 2025.

Our Mission
