Dance is a universal language that connects people through movement, rhythm and expression. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an aspiring professional, a dance course offers structured training to help you develop your technique, creativity, and performance skills.
Dance courses come in various styles, from ballet and jazz to contemporary and hip-hop, helping students explore different genres to find their own unique style.
A good dance course balances physical training with artistic development. Students will work on flexibility, strength, coordination, and musicality, whilst also learning how to tell stories through movement.
Beyond physicality and the actual skill of dancing, dance courses also build discipline, confidence and teamwork skills that benefit students in all areas of life. Many courses also involve regular showcases and performances, giving students valuable stage experience.
For those who see dance as more than a hobby, formal training is essential. Dance courses at performing arts schools are the best way to prepare aspiring students for auditions, university applications, or professional careers in dance companies.
At Italia Conti Dubai, the international branch of Britain’s oldest performing arts college, we offer exceptional dance training grounded in a legacy of over 110 years. Located in Dubai Hills Estate, our Dance Company course is designed for students aged 8 to 18 who aspire to professional careers and top-performing arts universities, including Italia Conti itself.
The Dance Company course is audition-only and reserved for those demonstrating the highest potential. It offers a professional level of training comparable to a full-time performing arts school, but structured so students can continue their academic studies alongside.
Students are grouped by age and skill level:
Class sizes are intentionally kept small to focus on each student’s technical growth and personal development. Our expert instructors cultivate performance skills, style, and strong technique, while also emphasising qualities like discipline, respect, and professionalism. These values shape students into well-rounded performers who stand out in auditions and careers worldwide.
Entry to the Dance Company requires a successful audition. Prospective students submit two contrasting dance videos, each no longer than one minute, showcasing their versatility. Following this, an in-person assessment at the studios evaluates ballet technique and a choice of commercial, contemporary, or theatre jazz styles to demonstrate musicality and technical ability.
Successful candidates join the course at the level best suited to their skills and aspirations, beginning a journey that could lead to performance opportunities, further study, and careers in dance and the performing arts.
Italia Conti Dubai’s Dance Company course offers students more than just technique; it inspires passion, professionalism, and artistic growth in every student, both in the studio and outside in day-to-day life, too.
If your child is ready to take their dancing to the next level in a supportive, world-class environment, this dance course could be the perfect fit.
