THE COURSE objective

This bespoke course is intended as a step towards further training at one of the UK's top theatre schools. 100% of DSC graduates who auditioned for further education, successfully gained a place at one of their top choices directly out of their second year. Students have successfully gone to study at renown colleges including, Laine Theatre Arts, Wilkes Academy, Masters Performing Arts, London Studio Centre, Performers College, Addict Dance Academy, The Northern Ballet School, Midlands Academy of Dance and Drama (MADD) and many more incredible institutions, all with funding assistance. Other students have gone on to have fantastic Dance, Acting and Musical Theatre careers directly from their BTEC training with Debut, some graduating straight into representation with West-End agents including Russell Smith Associates and the worlds biggest commercial agent Dancers Inc.

​

All graduating students will have a clear knowledge and talent in dancing, singing and acting and how to be fully prepared for auditions, giving them a head start to competitors. Dancers who sing, singers who dance, actors who sing or singers who act, we provide the best training in the North-West for anyone dreaming of a career in Performing Arts. With only 20 places per year, our students receive close and intense training and no-one is overlooked. Regular meetings and tutorials will ensure our teachers and students are constantly working toward their achievements.
