Here's what University of Gloucestershire says about its Dance course.
Why Dance? Our Dance degree offers specialist vocational and academic training across a variety of dance genres. Our modules are designed to develop your technical, performance, choreographic and teaching skills, whilst encouraging you to gain a strong sense of who you are as a professional artist. Alongside your modules you will receive regular technique classes that include contemporary, jazz, ballet and commercial styles, as well as additional strength and conditioning training to support your development as a practitioner. The variety in our course allows you to tailor your study to suit your own interests and career ambitions, whether these lie in performing, teaching, choreographing, or a combination of these.
With the chance to gain experience working in a range of settings and participate in workshops with professionals and organisations such as Motionhouse, Shobana Jeyasingh, 2Faced Dance, Gary Clarke, Layton Williams, The Roses and The Everyman Theatre, our graduates stand out from the competition. Drawing on the versatility and expertise of our experienced academic team, you’ll learn in our purpose-built performing arts centre, which includes harlequin sprung-floor dance studios with full lighting rigs, a multimedia suite and a devising studio.
Why University of Gloucestershire? At University of Gloucestershire, we’ve been encouraging students to meet every ambition since 1847. Join us and you’ll benefit from our three UoG promises:
1. UoG Career Promise – if you are not in a job 6 months after graduating, we’ll guarantee you 6 months of free support post-graduation should you need it, followed by the offer of a paid internship and lifetime career coaching* (*eligibility conditions apply). 2. UoG Accommodation Promise – we guarantee all first-year students accommodation on, or near, the campus you’re studying at. 3. UoG Connections Promise – whilst at UoG, you’ll find the connections to reach your goals. With over 4,000 placements and more than 60 clubs and societies to join, you’ll make connections for life.
Our ambition is boundless. Experienced lecturers promote a real-world ethos and treat our students as more than just a number. Alongside our strong support system, guest speakers, networking events and influential partnerships will help you prepare for life after graduation, whether that be in a successful career in your field or onto further study. Students never tire of finding inspiration here in the unique county of Gloucestershire – innovation and bravery thrive here. Cheltenham and Gloucester offer the best of city and country living, with the rolling hills of the Cotswolds paired with vibrant nightclubs and stunning parks in the bustling town and city centres.

I really like that the student union put on so many events, though this is mainly helped with clubs and societies.

I found it is easier in halls despite certain difficulties because of the 24/7 security being available and it being near to campuses or on campuses. The first halls I was in was ...
