Italia Conti’s Associates Programme is designed to nurture the next generation of performers, offering exceptional performing arts training for students aged 3–18.
With a legacy spanning over 110 years, Italia Conti has a proud history of developing versatile, skilled performers ready to succeed in theatre, musical theatre, and dance.
Our Associates Programme combines high-quality instruction with a supportive and inspiring environment, ensuring students gain the technical foundation and confidence to thrive in the performing arts.
The Associates Programme provides training across acting, singing, and dance, allowing students to develop as well-rounded performers. Classes focus on building technical skills, artistic expression, and performance confidence, while also fostering creativity and individuality. Students benefit from small class sizes, enabling personalised feedback and a strong focus on individual growth.
Our Associates Programme also reaches internationally with the Dubai Associate School, providing the same high-quality performing arts education to students in the region.
Led by experienced tutors, the curriculum focuses on technical training, performance skills, and personal development, helping students achieve their potential in a supportive, creative environment.
Students in Dubai also benefit from small class sizes, professional coaching, and opportunities to perform in showcases, building confidence and stage experience. Whether attending classes casually or pursuing more intensive, auditioned training, students develop strong foundations for future study, conservatoire applications, or professional work in the performing arts.
The Dubai programme offers open classes for all as well as two audition-only courses, the Dance Company and Theatre Company.
This ensures we deliver age-appropriate technical and performance development. Students get exposure to a variety of dance styles, repertoire, and performance projects, preparing them for auditions, university applications, and professional careers.
Similarly, the Theatre Company equips students with the skills needed for musical theatre and stage performance.
Actors, singers, and dancers develop physical agility, vocal versatility, and acting skills through a curriculum designed to challenge and inspire. Participation in these programmes ensures students gain a deep understanding of the performing arts, preparing them for the next stage of their training.
A key element of the Associates Programme is the chance for students to put their training into practice through regular performances and showcases. These events allow students to experience the dynamics of live performance, develop stage presence, and gain confidence in front of an audience. Showcases are tailored to each age group and level, ensuring that every student can demonstrate their progress in a supportive environment.
Italia Conti’s Associates Programme is more than just classes; it’s an opportunity for children and young people to explore creativity, build confidence, and develop new skills. Students can grow as performers if they wish, or simply enjoy learning singing, acting, and dance in a fun, supportive environment.
With expert tuition, engaging performance opportunities, and encouraging mentorship, the Associates Programme gives every student the chance to discover their talents and enjoy the performing arts, whether they dream of a career on stage or just want to try something new.
