From perfecting your skills in technical training to letting your creativity run wild in choreography and improvisational classes, our dance courses are designed to nurture your existing skills and lead you to experience dance in a way you have never imagined before. As well as perfecting your technique in the studio, you will also perform regularly in our theatres as well as within the community, through professional visits, theatre trips and workshops.

“The main lessons I've learnt at BRIT are a lot deeper than actual dance. I have learnt foundations of other styles and to explore your field as much as you can to gain the most experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first 7 months and can't wait to discover more. What I've found the best is the attitude of teachers;  they genuinely are providing all that we came here for and pushing us beyond.”
