THE COURSE

NBS Diploma in Professional Dance *

This course is designed to provide the graduate with the ever-widening range of dance performance and related skills demanded by the industry and it incorporates the National Diploma in Professional Dance, which is validated by Trinity College, London. Whilst all students study a range of dance styles and genres throughout the three years of the course, they are required at the start of the second year to decide whether to focus on classical ballet or jazz theatre dance as their main subject for the rest of their course.

A third focus option, for those considering an early or later career in the teaching of theatre dance, is to continue the RAD and ISTD syllabus studies undertaken in the first year, with the addition of the ISTD Foundation in Dance Instruction Examinations in Ballet, Modern Theatre and Tap dance.

* A pre-determined number of government funded Scholarships are available to qualifying applicants from the UK and EU countries. These Scholarships are awarded strictly in order of merit, as determined by NBS.
