External Ballet

New students enrolling in the DanceEast Centre for Advanced Training (CAT) at the start of the academic year in September may continue with an external ballet class if it directly conflicts with their allocated DanceEast CAT ballet class on Thursday evenings. This arrangement is considered on a case-by-case basis and requires prior approval from the CAT Team.

To request this arrangement, parents or carers must complete an online registration form, which will be provided before the academic year begins.Confirmation to attend an external ballet class is subject to review and approval by the CAT Team.

DanceEast CAT collaborates with external ballet providers to support young dancers in the Eastern region. Students who are unable to attend the Thursday evening ballet class at the Jerwood DanceHouse due to location or travel difficulties, such as residing in Cambridge or Norwich, may opt for an external ballet class.

Students are free to choose any external ballet provider or dance school that they feel offers appropriate training. While DanceEast CAT does not recommend specific schools, they can provide information on schools that previous CAT students have attended if assistance is needed in making contact. For further details or to discuss arrangements, please contact the CAT Team via email.
