Our Taster Days for the DanceEast Centre for Advanced Training (CAT) are a great way to experience the training, meet our tutors, and find out more about the programme. During the Taster Days, you’ll take part in fun and practical dance workshops, including contemporary and hip hop dance, led by our fantastic CAT tutors and musicians.
You’ll get to watch classes, meet the CAT team, and, in Ipswich, tour our world-class studios. While you’re dancing, parents and carers are invited to an information session where they can learn more about the course, funding, and how to apply.

About the DanceEast CAT
DanceEast CAT provides high-quality dance training for young people aged 10-18 years. Based at the Jerwood DanceHouse on Ipswich’s Waterfront, our young dancers come from across the East of England, attending classes in Ipswich, Norwich and Cambridge. During their weekly training, CAT students will have classes in contemporary, ballet, hip hop dance, creative and health.
The CAT is a non-residential programme for those who are ready to make a commitment to training in dance. During their time on the CAT, students have the opportunity to work with a variety of people, including professional dance artists and choreographers from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, as well as being prepared for professional dance training.
