Application Process
PCD is open to applications from anywhere in the UK or abroad via audition and interview.
You can apply now by clicking here.
Audition & Interview
Once your application has been received you will be invited to one of our audition days.
Auditions consist of a Ballet, Jazz and limbering assessment followed by various dance combinations in differing theatrical styles. You must also prepare and perform a solo piece of choreography in your choice of dance style.
BA (Hons) applicants will be asked to work together on a short choreographic piece on the day.
You will be informed of the audition outcome by post and email within three three weeks of the audition date. You will be regularly assessed throughout the year and progression on to the second and third year is subject to the satisfaction of your tutors.
Fees & Funding
Government funding is available for a large part of the dance curriculum for 16-19 year olds. Those on the BA (Hons) Programme can apply for a Student Load to cover the cost of their tuition fees. Additional fees are applicable for the PCD Certificate in Dance Performance which is currently priced at £1,600pa. There may be the option to add to your course with additional qualification should you wish. Your tutor will discuss these with you and they will be priced individually and can be paid in instalments should you wish.
Uniform
A uniform is required for most classes and a list is available on request and will be supplied to those successful in gaining a place on one of our courses. Uniform must be purchased prior to your first day of classes.
