I'm loving my time on the BA Modern Ballet Course. The teaching is excellent and we are really all individually pushed due to small class numbers and a great faculty who help us grow so much. The studios are wonderful and we are really lucky to have access to such great spaces with live accompaniment each day. read more

First class tutoring. All the teachers and lecturers are genuinely good people and are happy to help any time. All of my lectures so far in first year have been really useful. Although the main goal of the lectures is to help students to pass their modules and assignments, they also teach us valuable lessons and give us insight into our future careers. In 1st year I have done so much more than just develop my voice and I find that really great. read more
