Transcend boundaries in dance performance, practice and creation.

For the first time, two leading international dance institutions are collaborating on a transnational Dance BA (Hons) with the first year of studies set at the London Contemporary Dance School at The Place, and the second and third years at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore.

For students based in Southeast Asia, this is an opportunity to experience Londons cosmopolitan energy as a major European metropolis for a year, whilst predominantly remaining based closer to home and for students from further afield, this is a unique chance to submerge yourself, living and learning in two extraordinary cultures and cities.
