Dance Proms 2016 registration open!

Registration for the annual Dance Proms is now open; current dance teaching members of the IDTA, ISTD and RAD are eligible to enter and be in with a chance of performing at one of the world’s most iconic venues on Sunday 30 October. The Royal Albert Hall will again play host to the event, celebrating the creativity and commitment of dance teachers and their students from across the world.

From ballet to ballroom, hip hop to jazz, the Dance Proms team are inviting teachers to shine a spotlight on their school and enter to join the Dance Proms company for 2016. Dance teachers must submit a dance piece they would like their students to perform at Dance Proms; if selected, they will join around 500 other young dancers and guest acts to dance in front of 4,000 people on the world’s most famous stage: the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Dance Proms is a unique collaborative project between three of the world’s leading dance training and awarding bodies: the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, the International Dance Teachers’ Association, the Royal Academy of Dance and the Royal Albert Hall. Dance Proms aims to provide a platform to celebrate dance, dance students and dance teachers, and give young people the opportunity to perform at the Royal Albert Hall. The event also creates opportunities for the three awarding bodies’ respective members to engage with and benefit from every aspect of the project.

Registered teachers are invited to submit an original dance piece, which may have been choreographed by themselves, their student(s) or another choreographer, in one or more categories or dance styles. There is no limit on the number of entries submitted by one teacher.

Enter at www.danceproms.co.uk no later than Friday 6 May.
