Each of the Associate Sundays will be a full day of 4 classes starting at 10am and ending at 5pm. The associates will be expected to attend the full day and all sessions if possible as there will be a programme of work planned throughout the term. Each Sunday will have a ballet class, a repertoire class, a contemporary class/contact improvisation and a choreography/stretching/stagecraft session. Pointe work will be taught as appropriate. These disciplines follow the GradPro programme and are essential elements to ensure that a dancer can cope with the demands of company life today.

There will be no audition process at present, this is to give all students an opportunity to attend. We may move to auditions in the future depending on take up, standard and demand.

Faculty will include dancers from leading UK ballet companies as well as leading teachers in their disciplines. The classical classes will also have live music from exceptional pianists.
