Dance Scholarships are awarded to talented performers who are willing to take full advantage of all opportunities to participate in dance at School. It is desirable, but not essential, for candidates to have studied GCSE Dance. All Sixth Form Dance Scholars will be expected to take A-level Dance.
In order to apply, please submit the following to the Head of Dance:
- A report or reference from a Dance teacher, including any relevant performance, experience and/or successes.
- Approximately one to two minutes (maximum) of a filmed performance.
- A current photo of your daughter.
All videos, photos and documents should be uploaded to the Secure Transfer File, provided by the Admissions team, with the file name as your daughter’s full name and a short descriptive title (e.g. JANE SMITH, Dance Performance).
Assessment and Audition for Shortlisted Candidates
1. All applicants will sit a 45-minute written paper, referencing and analysing a live dance performance event. You may have two A4 sides of notes about the live production that you wish to write about.
2. Please prepare two contrasting dance pieces. These performances can contrast in terms of style, music, or stimulus. Each dance performance must last approximately one minute.
3. We will also ask you to demonstrate your proven commitment to dance and your broader interest in the subject in a short interview with the Director of Drama and Dance.
