It's also the first of its kind in the UK the study of African and Caribbean dance is given equal weighting to to ballet and contemporary dance techniques. The Dance Foundation Degree is designed to allow dance students to: ~ Gain professional input from established dance and dance theatre professionals, ~ Have the option to progress directly onto the honours year at London Metropolitan University, ~ Access great industry links through work placements in performance, education and community dance, ~ Learn about employment opportunities for artists, ~ Be mentored and nurtured by a team completely committed to the students' success, ~ Experience excellent teaching and great facilities, and ~ Immerse themselves in an arts environment that is rich and diverse as well as being challenging and stimulating. An example of the challenging and stimulating nature of this course is reflected in the site-specific work that the current first year students recently performed at St Paul's Church in Deptford. This work will be performed again as part of the Big Dance festival sponsored by T-Mobile. The course is taught in part at IRIE!'s base, the Moonshot Centre in New Cross, and at City and Islington College in Camden. The auditions will take place at the Moonshot Centre.
