Introduction

The Graduate Certificate in Dance is a short term, intensive, practically focussed programme of dance study within a conservatoire environment leading to a level 6 qualification.

With a blend of technical and creative modules, the programme provides a stimulating learning environment in which to develop as a dancer and dance artist: enhancing your existing knowledge and skills and acquiring new areas of expertise. From taught dance classes and creative workshops to lecture-seminar dialogue, independent and collaborative projects, the programme offers a high level of contact time and interactive learning; with expert tutors who will nurture and encourage your artistic development and support you towards your own learning and professional development goals.

You will join a vibrant, friendly community of dancers from a great diversity of backgrounds and nationalities and benefit from the specialist facilities and resources of Trinity Laban’s award-winning building.

The aims of the Programme are:
