Useful information
The company is open to those who have completed Improvers Level Jazz at City Academy (or equivalent), or who have jazz dance performance experience.
No formal audition is required. Instead, you’ll attend a Jazz Dance Company Taster class where you’ll join a rehearsal. This helps both you and the Directors assess if the company is the right fit.
Membership covers weekly rehearsals, showcases, guest masterclasses, plus exclusive perks such as complimentary courses, discounts, and free tasters.
Membership runs at £80 per month with a minimum commitment of 3 months. You may cancel any time with 14 days’ notice before your next payment.
You’ll need to be confident at Improvers Jazz or above, with experience in choreography and performance.
