About Our Associate Programme

The Northern Ballet Theatre Associate Programme is aimed at students, male & female, between the ages of 10 & 16 years, contemplating dance as a career. The programmes are an enhancement to the student’s regular dance training and help prepare them for full-time vocational training.

Students are placed on a programme suitable to their age and ability. Classes run for 33 weeks of the year during term time and a commitment to attend regular weekly classes is required.
