EDGE is back for another season

Following an incredible first year of elite-level training, we’re proud to announce that EDGE Associate Programme will return for the 2026–2027 season. This pre-vocational programme is designed for young dancers who are serious about taking their training to the next level, refining technique, deepening performance skills, and building real-world experience.

Led by West End performer Emily Goodenough (currently in Wicked) and industry professional Adam Denman (currently teaching at Bird College and Laine Theatre Arts), EDGE offers monthly training with expert guidance and a new guest teacher each month. Students not only build technique and performance, but make valuable connections and gain insight from teachers working at the highest levels.

Who is EDGE for?

EDGE is for dancers aged 11+ who want to push their limits, train with purpose, and prepare for college auditions and future careers in the performing arts.

For 2026–27, dancers will be placed in one of three training groups:

• 11–12 years

• 13–14 years

• 15+ years

Placement is based on ability and current training level, not just age. Final group allocations will be confirmed after all auditions are complete, ensuring dancers are placed where they can thrive.

Applications & Auditions

Auditions are now open! Applications for EDGE Season 2 are open from 5th February to 24th March 2026.

To apply, dancers must submit a video audition in their chosen style including:

• A pirouette

• A kick

• A leap of your choice

Video links can be submitted via YouTube or Vimeo, or uploaded directly with your application. Full details are provided in the application form.

If successful, students will be invited to secure their place with a £50 deposit. The remaining programme fee of £450 can be paid in full by 1st July, or in two instalments of £250 (July and November).

What Parents Are Saying

“My child has loved every session so far and really wants to continue next year. She’s also hoping the spots don’t fill up too quickly, as some of her dance friends have shown an interest after seeing what she’s been up to since September. Thank you so much.”

“She has learnt so much and can’t wait to come every month. She 100% wants to continue with EDGE next year. Thank you so much for the opportunities you are giving them.”

“She has completely and utterly LOVED it! She is so lucky to have the opportunity to dance with you both and all the other talented performers / teachers.”
