EVOLVE Dance Collective 2024/25

EVOLVE is a year-long training course for young people aged 15-20 years, presented in a partnership between EVOLVE Dance Collective and South East Dance.

Designed for young people who are interested in exploring their full potential as a dancer before taking their next steps into higher education, EVOLVE offers high quality dance training focusing on developing dance artistry, creativity and empowering young people to find their own unique movement style.  

We have made some changes to EVOLVE this year to make it more flexible and to allow dancers to choose which parts of EVOLVE suit their dance development needs.

• EVOLVE will take place every third Sunday to allow advanced dancers to fit it around their existing dance commitments
• We now offer a Pay What You Can option to remove any financial barriers that might impact dancers
• We have separated the technique development training from the performance opportunities so dancers can choose which parts they would like to access. So you can just attend the technique development sessions for EVOLVE (10am-midday) or stay on for the afternoon and be part of the performance opportunities with EVOLVE Performance Collective (1-3pm)

Here are the details:

Two different offers:

10am - midday: Performance Technique Class, including freestyle development, increase vocabulary for creative toolkit, confidence in performing with authenticity. Performance Technique Class is open to dancers who wish to attend every week or drop in to suit their availability.

1-3pm: EVOLVE Dance Collective Performance Company, including a fusion of choreography and freestyle, shaped into performance pieces.

EVOLVE Dance Collective Performance Company is for dancers to commit to attend every session and be available for multiple performance opportunities throughout the year.
