Centre for Advanced Training: Swindon Street Open Day

The day will bring together lots of young like-minded dancers that are passionate about all styles of street dance. You will see what it’s like to train with CAT, get more information, and meet the team. There will be opportunities to take part in two workshops with Core tutors Tomo and Kieran Warner. The day will finish with inspiring performances from local street groups as part of Street Dance Connect. Street Dance Connect will include a sharing of information from each of the leaders from these Youth Groups to inform you on what it is they offer and how they can help you with developing your passion and talent. You will leave feeling inspired, informed and excited for your dance future.

We recommend that you attend if you are thinking of auditioning. If you have not previously heard of the Centre for Advanced Training then attending this day is the perfect way to understand what we offer and how we can help you on your dance journey. The open day is free, and we welcome all levels of dancers whether you are beginning your dance journey or if you have been training for a few years.

What is the Centre for Advanced Training? 

Centres for Advanced Training (CATs) in dance help identify, and assist, young people with exceptional potential, regardless of their personal circumstances, to benefit from world-class specialist training.

 

Successful applicants are able to access highly specialist dance training in their local area, whilst continuing to live at home.

Students travel to attend the Swindon Ballet Programme from the South West including Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Devon, Dorset and Cornwall. The CAT supports travel costs, additional classes outside of CAT, and training fees. 

CAT’s operate from host organisations recognised for their excellence and commitment to the arts and vocational training. Each partner is unique in their delivery of the scheme, some embracing Contemporary Dance whilst others focus on different styles, read more. To find out about the programme, attend an open day.
