Alumni Destinations

Our graduates go on to wide-ranging careers across the dance and arts industry and many go freelance or set up their own companies. Some of our alumni also go on to transfer their skills and have successful careers in arts leadership, arts education, arts management, physical therapies, as well as health and nutrition. A thorough dance training and education builds many transferable skills and instils the discipline needed to achieve ambitions.

“NSCD consistently provides some of the highest level dance graduates in Europe. Each student leaves with a wealth of technical and creative knowledge and more importantly, a hunger and determination to succeed within the super competitive dance world. As well as the superb training the school also has a nurturing and positive environment that is a pleasure to work in.”
- James Wilton; Artistic Director, James Wilton Dance
