CBA 2026/27
Semi-Finals
Dancers join us for a workshop class, where they experience a short warm-up and then learn a section from one of this year's solos. Dancers are selected from this class to proceed to our Finals and participate in the coaching day with professional artists and choreographers.
Participation in the Semi-Finals workshop class
Entry fee - £45
Finals and Coaching
Once a dancer has accepted their place in the Finals, they are sent links to begin learning this year's solos. Each solo is then coached during our coaching days held in November. Dancers work with the artists and choreographers who have experienced the work in its professional context, building their understanding and appreciation, while developing and refining technique and artistry.
Includes access to online videos and live coaching sessions with the choreographers, performance of two solos and participation in the group performance, ‘Together’
Entry fee - £180
