Key Summary
BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance
Our BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance degree is taught in classic conservatoire style. As a result it is rigorous, intensive and highly creative.
This undergraduate degree is constructed and designed to both develop you as a versatile artist and equip you with all the skills and knowledge to pursue a successful, sustainable career in dance.
The IAB offers a limited number of scholarships each year. These are awarded to new students only and may be awarded for any of the IAB’s programmes. Scholarships will be offered to students identified by the faculty as having the potential to make a significant contribution to the development of the performing arts.
You therefore cannot apply for a scholarship.
A scholarship constitutes a reduction in fees, rather than a full fee waiver.
For more information about scholarship, please visit the institute website.
Our BA (Hons) Dance degree schedule provides instruction across a comprehensive range of contemporary disciplines, with each class geared to preparing students physically and mentally to be as strong, agile, responsive and expressive as possible. Core classes include contemporary dance, ballet, improvisation, hip hop styles, choreography and contextual studies.
You will be training in techniques covering but not limited to Release, Floor Work, Horton-based and Cunningham-based classes. In addition, you will work on Improvisation techniques, Partnering, Flying Low and Gaga.
- Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Dance
- Credit Value: 360 UK credits, equivalent to 180 ECTS
If your ambition is to continue with your studies, this degree, recognised internationally, will allow you to progress to further postgraduate/Master’s degree studies at the IAB or in other institutions worldwide.
How we prepare you for the dance industry:
- Filming your own solo with a team of professional videographers for your dance reel.
- Professional artists will choreograph two showcase performances with you in the final year.
- You will have an opportunity to audition for agents and attend masterclasses and Q&As.
- You will take part in a series of “mock auditions” led by professional choreographers such as Iratxe Ansa from Metamorphasis.
- You will get classes on how to build your performer resume, choose the perfect headshot, negotiate with agents and build networking skills.
