The programme of classes provides intensive and rigorous dance training taught by a highly experienced team of professional dance teachers and artists.
The Centre for Advanced Training aims to:
- Actively seek out and identify talented and motivated young people who have the potential for a career in dance.

- Develop each student’s understanding of their own physical potential so they can work safely and with understanding as dance artists.
- Ensure that the students have the opportunity to work with and learn from established professional dance artists.
- Extend the cultural experience of the students through a range of visits to see professional dance work in a range of genres, theatres, galleries and concerts.
- Collaborate where appropriate with Junior Trinity to establish a vital link between dance and music students within the DCSF Music and Dance Scheme.

• Selecting, structuring, and refining movement material
• Developing initial movement ideas into final choreographic form through selecting and developing action, dynamic, rhythmic and spatial content
• Using choreographic devices, e.g. motif, variation and development, chance, unison, canon, climax

• Considering the relationship of dance and music
• Communicating artistic intention and the expression of dance ideas/concepts

Outreach
As part of the CAT, Trinity Laban is committed to delivering an extensive outreach programme in order to identify potential in younger children and guide them towards appropriate dance training to nurture their potential and help prepare them to audition for the CAT if they wish.
From October 2020, we will be offering London schools a free CAT taster dance workshop for up to 25 students in Years 8, 9 or 10 (the group we work with is your choice). This session will offer students the opportunity to experience high quality contemporary and creative dance, and give them information about the Centre for Advanced Training at Trinity Laban.
The workshop will be delivered by one of our CAT outreach team, who are practitioners for Trinity Laban’s Centre for Advanced Training, and will last two hours in total.
We encourage schools to visit us so students can experience our award-winning building and dance in our professional studios. There will also be an opportunity for the group to tour the building and see the degree students training. However, if you would like us to visit your school, this is also possible.
We will be offering the sessions between October 2020 and March 2021 prior to our CAT Open Days in March, so any students who are interested may attend the open days and then audition if they wish.

Hear from CAT graduate Charlie Burt about her experience at Trinity Laban and the difference the programme has made to her teenage years both personally and professionally:
Parents, guardians and family also play an important role in the training of students on the Trinity Laban CAT programme. Hear from Helen Lefevre, whose daughter has recently graduated from us:
“From Day One my daughter had a new family. A group of talented peers to work alongside of, inspirational teachers and a fearless course director whose vision for her students saw them viewing and being trained by leading lights in contemporary dance, from Hofesh Shechter to Henri Oguike, Random Dance to Matthew Bourne. I have seen my daughter perform at the Royal Festival Hall, the Bonnie Bird theatre and the Place. I have witnessed her grow from an enthusiastic dancer into a thoughtful, consummate professional.
Balancing the needs of academic demands with training 3 times a week instilled time management skills many adults would be proud of, alongside the emotional literacy that comes with belonging to a dance company. The training offered new and creative ways to interpret her academic subjects. This September my daughter started dual honours in English and Philosophy. She will always be a dancer. Thanks to the CAT she has gone to university knowing what it is to be creative, to perform, to communicate through a medium other than words. Thank you to everyone involved with this remarkable scheme, may it go on and offer many more young people the opportunity to dance.”
We are keen to hear from all former students, so please get in touch. We will be delighted to hear from you.
