The Place offers an unmatched range of dance activity for children and young people from age 5 upwards.
Contemporary dance is an exciting, physical art form which gives young people the chance to express themselves in movement and build their fitness in a fun, sociable environment.
We offer Saturday dance classes as well as the chance to join our youth dance companies: Shift, or after school dance club JDC. For young people thinking about a career in dance, we provide clear progression through our Centre for Advanced Training (CAT), our pre-vocational training scheme.
The Place also runs a range of projects for schools and colleges, including Essential Alston, the education programme of Richard Alston Dance Company, before school breakfast club dance sessions and professional development for teachers.
We also run outreach programmes for young people either new to dance or keen to learn more, where you can find out about what The Place can offer at venues near you (see our Community section for details)
Whatever your age, ability or area of interest in dance, there is something at The Place for you.
