London Contemporary Dance School will consider all applications that arrive by 5pm on the deadline date; please ensure that your completed form arrives at the School in plenty of time as we cannot be responsible for late applications. The School cannot audition anyone who applies after the application deadline.
We are expecting a large number of applications for all postgraduate programmes this year and therefore encourage applicants to apply early. Although the final deadline is in January it is advisable to hear from postgraduate applicants before Christmas to allocate a preliminary audition date.
