DANCE PRODUCTION
PROGRAM STREAM
The Dance Production Program (DPP) is an exclusive stream within the WPAS Vocational Training Program—offered only in select years. This limited-edition program is designed for committed dancers ready to step into the world of professional performance and commercial dance training. Focusing on industry-based skills, the DPP offers hands-on experience working with passionate choreographers to prepare dancers for the demands of professional work. Training includes technique, conditioning, partnering, and performance coaching, with exposure to multiple genres such as Lyrical, Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop, and Tap. Students will not only train as part of a dynamic Dance Cast but also have the opportunity to perform as a full dance ensemble and/or solo artists in a high-calibre live stage production. Rather than competing at an eisteddfod, students will challenge themselves in a real production setting, learning to grow through rehearsal processes, audience feedback, and the pursuit of excellence.
The DPP nurtures dancers in a safe, intimate environment, equipping them with the skills, mindset, and confidence to thrive in the commercial dance industry. Our goal is to create a powerful, original dance production that inspires both performers and audiences - and sparks the passion of the next generation of dancers.
PRIVATE COACHING
WPAS Private Coaching - Limited spaces available - by appointment & invitation only. Private lessons are available to students who are interested in furthering their training with a vocational focus. Private Lessons are an excellent way to achieve accelerated learning and develop particular skills and passion and can help prepare artists for events such as competitions, auditions, performances etc
Private tuition is also beneficial for students who wish to participate in the Performing Arts, but perhaps find it challenging to take part in a group setting.
