Trinity Laban – the contemporary dance course is for 3 years. In the first year you will learn contemporary and ballet, develop choreographic skills and new frame works for reflecting on dance performances. In the second year you will carry on doing the same things and at the end of the year do a performance based on one of the dance practitioners .in the third year you will also do a independent research project. You can also learn how to teach contemporary dance technique.

Italia conti- the musical theatre course is also 3 years long. In first year you start doing level 4 work and then level 5 work in year 2 and level 6 work in year 3.you work on each year acting, singing,dance , musical theatre practice, contextual studies and workshops and in third year professional preparation and performance,

 

I think that the Trinity Laban training is good because I want to teach dance eventually in my career as I find it really fun .

I would prepare for a dance audition by practicing my dances as they will most likely ask for a solo to be performed. I would also do lots of stretching the night before and day of the audition. The night before I would make sure I have a leotard with classic neckline and also black and natural tights. I would also make sure I have eaten nutritious meals beforehand. Also I would make sure I have water and my different types of dance shoes if needed. I would check the time I have to be there and make sure I would get there on time.
