Auditions for admission in September 2015 are now taking place. Please contact us for the JHC prospectus & audition application form.

Open Days are held in the Spring for interested young people to visit the College, join in various dance workshops and meet the staff and current students. Time is set aside to talk individually with the Principal and to look at how the JHC can help prospective students achieve their aims and ambitions in their future careers. 

Students are encouraged to develop their performance skills and take part in our Performance events culminating in their end of year Showcase Cabaret Evening when the annual JHC Awards are presented.   

Students are prepared for all Units of the DDI and DDE ISTD Teaching qualifications in Imperial Classical Ballet, Modern Dance, Tap and National Dance as well all vocational examinations. Additionally students receive training in Jazz Dance, Drama & Voice Production including the LAMDA examinations, Singing, Health & Safety and Lifespan, Audition techniques and Body Conditioning, as well as workshops in other related dance genre, eg Ballroom, Latin American, Contemporary Dance, and Partner Work etc.   

Former students can be found dancing and teaching all over the UK and Abroad.
