About this course

Free Level 3 Performing and Production Arts Course in Croydon. Classes run at The BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology, full-time over two years.

The course covers performance across singing, dance, and acting, with a strong focus on musical theatre. You'll explore a wide range of performance styles and develop skills across all three disciplines. The course is equivalent to three A Levels.

You'll finish with a University of the Arts London Extended Diploma in Performing and Production Arts.

Who this course is for

The Post 16 Dance course is a two-year programme that involves the study of a range of dance techniques, performance skills, choreography and the theoretical aspects of the art form. Students will spend fifteen plus taught hours per week on their dance studies and combine this with work in singing, physical theatre and the business aspects of the performing arts industry.

All students who take this course will be working towards the UAL Extended Level 3 Diploma in Performing Arts (Dance).
