Our Contemporary Dance Company is one of City Academy’s premier resident dance companies. With weekly evening rehearsals and regular performances throughout the year, the Contemporary Dance Company aims to be one of the most exciting contemporary performance groups in London.
The Contemporary Company is led by Kirill Burlov, a multiface ted artist and dancer who performed with Rambert, Northern Ballet, Royal Opera House, Michael Clark Company. He is currently working on the projects with Burst Dance Project, The Cathy Marston Project and English National Ballet. His creative ventures with Kristaps Petersons mostly resulted with nominations or awards with the latest work Mikhail and Mikhail playing chess winning 12 major awards in Latvia.
The Contemporary Dance Company is for those who have completed improver level contemporary dance classes at City Academy, the equivalent, or who have experience in contemporary performance. To be accepted into the Contemporary Dance Company we ask you to take an introductory class first.
To join the Contemporary Dance Company you can simply book a taster class here. In the class you’ll take part in a regular company rehearsal in a relaxed setting, giving you the perfect chance to meet the group in action. Following the class, we’ll email with an invitation to join the company or give suggestions for further training. The purpose of the session is so that you can meet the Company Director as well as get an idea of what membership entails and the level of skill involved.
The membership fee is £80 per month and is charged for 12 months of the year. There is a minimum membership period of 3 months. This will cover you for all rehearsals and shows for the duration of your membership. (Note: Additional cost for costumes will be decided amongst the company each year and will be kept at a minimum.)

City Academy student and member of the Contemporary Company, Ellie Collinge, spoke to us about life in the Company and how being part of it made her fall deeper in love with dancing.
"I had forgotten how much I enjoy being on stage – the excitement in the dressing rooms, the rush of adrenaline waiting in the wings, and the energy on stage when the lights come on and the curtains come up."

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
