Travel and dancewear
Students may apply for financial assistance with travel and dancewear costs. Application can be made on a yearly basis, and assistance is means tested on the same scale as the grant funding, e.g. families who are entitled to a full grant are also entitled to full reimbursement for dancewear and travel costs; families who are entitled to 50% grant are also entitled to claim 50% of these costs.

Resources for parents.
‘Early training is so vital for dancers but it is not always easy to
know the best way forward for your child. Becoming part of the DanceEast
Academy means that training is mapped out in the right way for each
student and this, together with all the support they receive, enables
them to be free to concentrate on their dancing.' Parent
‘The fact that we are currently able to get a full grant is wonderful:
it means that my daughter can have the best possible training without
having to worry about fees. Without the grant she would not be able to
attend the DanceEast Academy and access this level of training.' Parent
