At Morgan’s Academy of Dance, our Dance Company is a dedicated development programme designed for students who demonstrate exceptional commitment, enthusiasm and a genuine passion for dance. It provides aspiring dancers with the opportunity to receive additional training beyond their weekly classes, helping them develop the technical skills, confidence and performance quality needed to reach the next stage of their dance journey. Dance Company is not simply about learning routines—it is about nurturing well-rounded performers who are committed to achieving their full potential.
Students are selected through an invitation process, with places awarded to those who consistently demonstrate outstanding attendance, a positive attitude, dedication, perseverance and a strong work ethic both inside and outside the studio. We look for dancers who are willing to challenge themselves, practise independently at home and show a genuine desire to improve.
As part of the programme, students will receive focused training to improve technique, flexibility, strength, turns, leaps, musicality, performance skills and overall artistry. We believe that strong technical foundations are essential for every dancer, which is why students are expected to attend a weekly ballet class alongside their Dance Company training. Ballet provides the core foundations of dance, helping students develop correct posture, alignment, balance, coordination and discipline. Students are also required to attend a weekly acrobatics class to build strength, flexibility, control and confidence, enabling them to become more versatile performers.
Where appropriate, students may also be recommended for private tuition. These one-to-one lessons allow teachers to focus on individual goals, refine technique, address specific areas for improvement and accelerate progress. Private coaching ensures each dancer receives personalised support to help them continue developing at the highest possible standard.
Our Dance Company also places great emphasis on building valuable life skills. Through additional training and performance opportunities, students learn teamwork, resilience, self-discipline, leadership, commitment and confidence—qualities that benefit them not only in dance but throughout their education and future careers. We encourage every dancer to support and inspire one another while working together towards shared goals in a positive, respectful and professional environment.
The ultimate aim of our Dance Company is to prepare students for progression into our Competition Team and, for those who aspire to continue their dance education, vocational performing arts training. Every class is carefully designed to inspire, challenge and motivate students to become confident, technically strong and versatile performers. At Morgan’s Academy of Dance, we are committed to providing every Dance Company member with the highest quality training, guidance and encouragement, ensuring they have the skills, confidence and opportunities to shine both on and off the stage.
