BA(Hons) Dance
About the Course
This is a three year programme which is specifically designed to ensure students have the commercial technical knowledge, emotional resilience and academic ability to study at vocational/professional level. This will allow our students to graduate and succeed in the highly competitive commercial dance industry – forging lifelong careers. The course offers three streams:
The JBP Commercial stream has been designed and enables students to focus their training with greater specificity and better support their progress into their chosen career.
The contemporary stream enables students to focus their training with greater specificity and therefore better support their progress into their chosen career.
The Jazz stream enables students to focus their training with greater specificity and therefore better support their progress into their chosen career.
