Bursaries for Autumn 2026 classes are now open. Bursaries are available to participants on a termly basis. Please remember you will need to re-apply each term if you would like to continue receiving the bursary. Bursaries are not guaranteed each term and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

To keep the bursary for the full term, participants must attend at least 7 out of 10 classes. If 3 or more classes are missed without prior notice, the bursary will be withdrawn. Children and young people from low-income households may be eligible to access this class for free through the DanceEast Bursary Fund. Find out more about the DanceEast Bursary Fund and the necessary criteria here.

Support young people’s access to dance
We believe that everyone should be able to experience the joy of dance. Your support will allow us to create places in our classes for those who would otherwise not be able to access these based on cost. £8.00 pays for one bursary class for a young person. Please consider adding a donation to your booking at checkout. Any amount makes a difference.

“The bursary is a big help as I wouldn’t be able to afford it…She enjoys [the classes] massively and it creates a fun, safe environment for her to be creative in dance. I’m thankful for them to be able to go to these lessons, and hope many more children have great experiences because of the bursary.” – Parent of a child accessing the Bursary Fund
