If you’re serious about a dance career, choosing the best dance school for you is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.
Italia Conti has been a leader in performing arts education for more than a century. We offer world-class dance training that prepares students for a successful career in the industry, whether they move on to performance, choreography, teaching, or something else!
But what makes us stand out as the best dance school for aspiring performing arts professionals? We’re going to explore just that in this article.
When scoping out the best dance school, there are several factors to keep in mind.
The best dance schools will provide high-level technical training in various dance styles. At Italia Conti, for example, our BA Hons Dance students are taught through classes in ballet, jazz, tap, commercial, choreography, aerial and acrobatics. This helps shape them into well-rounded performers who are ready for professional life after graduation.
There’s no denying that in this industry, who you know can often be as important as what you know. That’s why we give our students plenty of opportunities to work with guest choreographers, as these contacts can help launch their careers.
Frequent performance gives students a chance to grow and develop. Not only can they refine their stage presence, but they also get valuable, real-world experience, preparing them for life in front of a live audience.
The best dance schools should have well-equipped studios, theatres and rehearsal spaces to support your training. At Italia Conti, we have a purpose-built building which was finished in 2022. This is where we nurture the next generation of talent, with over 24 studios, one-to-one coaching rooms, a gym, a theatre and recording studios.
The best dance schools will always think about your life after graduation, not only your time there. At Italia Conti, this is very important to us. We offer expert guidance on auditions, professional placements, and career development, ensuring our students are industry-ready.
If you’re looking for the best dance school to take your performance skills to the next level, Italia Conti offers exceptional training, world-class facilities, and a direct pathway into the creative industries. We have a history of training some of the best talent the UK film and TV scene has seen, you can see some of them on our AlumnX page.
