Funding

One of the greatest problems facing anyone wishing to pursue a career in dance will be the problem of finding funding for their chosen course.

Vocational dance training in Britain has traditionally taken place in independent institutions where courses are not fully funded. At designated schools, about half the places are funded by the government as part of a new scholarship scheme, entitled the Dance and Drama Awards. Each training institution is responsible for allocating their own awards and they will be given to those students who show most talent and potential at audition. These new awards help with fees and maintenance costs for successful students on approved places.

CDET supplies a list of courses where funded places may be available. Send an SAE for information on accredited courses, finding funding and other information on the dance profession.
