The Place

A key part of our professional development offer is stuctured around the two yearly cycle of Choreodrome, for research and development, and The Place Prize, sponsored by Bloomberg, the most prestigious choreographic competition in Europe. We also offer many other recurring and one-off opportunities throughout the year.

JUICE
JUICE is a comprehensive section of this website with audition and job listings, all sorts of opportunities for both dancers and choreographers, factsheets and information to download on topics including Legal Structures, Choreographic Platforms in the UK, European contacts and a dancers' survival guide to New York City.

Professional Class
The Place runs a morning class for professional-level dancers on weekdays.

Advice
Tailored advice and support for dance professionals

More details about this will follow as the project develops.
