Our Work with Secondary Schools

What we do

Centre for Advanced Training, affectionately called CAT, are a part-time pre-vocational dance training programme, specialising in contemporary dance, ballet and creative studies. We deliver world-class training which is designed to prepare young people (11-18 years) for full time dance education at conservatoire or university level. 

If your Secondary school is interested in getting involved and understanding more about Centre for Advanced Training, we have a range of offers that can be tailored to your students and school, for no cost at all.

What we offer:

• We can visit your School for a one of workshop led by an experienced dance teacher.
