YOUNG PROFESSIONAL ARTIST PROGRAMME
Our Young Professional Programme supports young dancers within five years of graduating from a three year full-time training at Vocational College, Dance Conservatoire or equivalent as they start out in the professional world.
Applications for this programme is currently closed
Our Young Professional Programme aims to support young professionals by reducing the financial pressures a young dancer faces when trying to start their professional career. Each participant will receive financial support and guidance to enable them to gain skills development and continued training such as; dance technique, creating, auditioning, marketing, creative problem solving, producing and mentoring.
A goal plan will be agreed between each participant and Swindon Dance, which outcomes will be measured against. It is hoped that these young professionals will go on to become longer-term associates of Swindon Dance.
We are interested in supporting young artists and practitioners from all forms of dance
