RCS facilities are among the best in Europe. You will take part in performances within a variety of environments and contexts, further enhancing the breadth of vocational education and your employability.

Year One Your first year of training is focused on developing a sound technical and artistic basis in both classical ballet and contemporary dance. This grounding will be enhanced by supporting subjects such as Pilates, pas de deux, pointework, virtuosity, conditioning and contextual studies. In repertoire classes, corps de ballet work and solos are introduced and you will learn about creating new work in the ‘Introduction to Choreography’ module. You will complete your first year with a performance in the annual show. Year Two You will focus on building upon the skills learned in first year with much more challenging work both technically and artistically. In repertoire, you will gain skills as a solo performer (in both ballet and contemporary) including learning works from the classics. Choreographic skills are developed through the opportunity to collaborate with other departments and a commissioned choreographer in the creation of a new work. You will have more performance opportunities, including the Piano and Dance festival and a more significant part in the annual performances. You may also participate in exchange projects and international competitions. Year Three Your final year is a year of refinement of individual strengths, development of artistic and performance skills and preparation for auditions for professional employment. All third year students work with Scottish Ballet which may include touring opportunities. Third year students also have the opportunity to join Company Class with Scottish Ballet and other professional companies. There are additional regular performance and touring opportunities with Scottish Ballet in mainstage tours – in recent years these have included Swan Lake (ch. Dawson), Mayerling (ch. MacMillan), The Snow Queen (ch. Hampson), Cinderella (ch. Hampson), The Nutcracker (ch. Darrell), Emergence (ch. Pite) and The Fairy’s Kiss (ch. MacMillan). The Solos Evening is a highlight for third years and your training culminates in the annual graduation performance in June.
