Auditions for the Centre of Advanced Training

Do you love to dance? Are you aged 10-16 yrs?

If you have passion, ambition, creativity, dedication and the potential to excel in dance, the Centre for Advanced Training programme can help you pursue a career in dance.

Centre for Advanced Training programmes are funded by the government’s Music & Dance Scheme. All participants can apply for a means-tested grant and for those who qualify for the grant, training is either free or subsidised.

You do not need any formal dance training but you will need to demonstrate natural ability, such as exceptional musicality and physicality. Applicants must have commitment and a passion for dance and, if successful, will enter the programme in September 2018. Interviews are by invitation and will take place during May.

If this sounds like you, applications are available on our website.

You can also contact the Centre for Advanced Deputy Manager at 020 7121 1037 or email for more information.

Deadline for applications: Monday 19 March

Applicants will be allocated an audition within two weeks of submitting their completed application form, at the earliest by Tue 14 March.

Chaperone Courses

Licenced Chaperones are the jewels of our dance school! Our lovely ladies step in to help look after the children if we have performances or in some cases competitions to take part in.

Certainly shows like Dance Vortex couldn’t go ahead without a huge bank of chaperones.

If your licence is up for renewal or you would like to become a chaperone for the first time, you need to attend a course run by your LOCAL county council.

The following dates are the next West Sussex courses that have spaces, if you would like to attend please contact us and we will put you in touch.

Monday 6th November 1000-1215
Wednesday 15th November 1000-1215
Thursday 11th January 1000-1215 

If you live in Surrey or East Sussex you cannot attend these course but contact us and we shall let you know the dates of the courses in your county.

Become a jewel

Praise for Dance Vortex

Dear All,

Huge congratulations on a really fantastic show – all the students and children were amazing!

I, Miss Jodie, Mrs Prime and Miss Donna are so very proud of you all and we have had some fabulous feedback and compliments (some of which are below).

A sincere thank you also to out wonderful Backstage Crew and Chaperones, you went above and beyond, the teachers and I could not have done it without you.

I hope you all have a lovely summer holiday and I shall see you in September.

Love and Kisses,

Miss Kay

Hi, Just wanted to say a massive well done to all the dancers, teachers, chaperones and yourself – the show was amazing!!!  It was lovely to see Isabelle dance with confidence and she said today she could do it all again – the buzz she got from it was amazing. Thank you all again. Caroline x

Well done, congratulations and a massive thank you for all your hard work. Such a fabulous show, the best yet!! Love Lisa xxx

Wow! The show was AMAZING!! You should all be very proud! Emma x

To everyone at Redhurst, Before the glow of the show fades I wanted to send an email to everyone at Redhurst towers to say thank you, thank you, thank you for planning, creating and producing such an amazing show which showcased the children in such a special way. I can see, from my very small part in it, the hours of work you all put in and I wanted to say it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated by parents or children. We feel quite bereft this morning that it is all over and don’t really know what to do with ourselves! Thanks again and I hope you all get at least some time to rest over the summer break! Helen x

Dear All, Thank you so much for putting on such an amazing show.  It was so special, slick, sharp and skilful. Marc’s parents watched last night and loved it so much booked this morning to come back again tonight. They thought it wouldn’t look out of place on the West End and I agree. Massive thanks to all the backstage helpers who did an amazing job – it all ran like clockwork (as far as I could tell!),  Enjoy a long, relaxing glass of wine and summer!
Huge thanks and much love, Vicki xxx

To Kay and everyone at Redhurst, I went to the show yesterday evening and I was so impressed. Well done to everyone involved – the students and teachers did a fantastic job. Thank you for giving Zoe the opportunity to be part of the show. She has really enjoyed the experience. All the best Catherine

The show was the best I’ve seen so far in my Redhurst history… Karen

Thank you all, Lucy thoroughly enjoyed being part of the show, wishing you all a lovely summer. Leanne

Thank you to all the staff at Redhurst, Sophia and Liv LOVED being a part of this fantastic show and experience. As a chaperone, I also had a ball and got to meet some really lovely people. All three of us feel on a ‘low’ since the show but have the best memories. Looking forward to a new year of dance have a lovely and restful summer xx Maria

I must say I have been around for a few shows now, and this was the most enjoyable and least stressful I can remember. I don’t want to mention names in case I miss anyone out! Thank you all for giving out kids this amazing and fantastic experience that they will always remember xx – Katy

I would like to thank Miss Kay, our teachers, my Vortex Angels (the amazing chaperones) and of course the wonderful dancers. At The Hawth today I have had lots of compliments about how good the show was from the ushers and technical staff. They see a LOT of shows so be proud, be very proud. Sam xxxx

I would like to add my congratulations and thanks to those you have already received. The show was stunning and Florence enjoyed her first experience on stage very much indeed! Ruth

It was an absolutely fabulous show – all the dances and costumes were so beautifully put together and a real joy to watch. Certainly both my girls had a brilliant time and Hannah could not have asked to have been a part of something so superb for her last show. We can’t wait for the DVD and photos! Miss Kay, Miss Jodie, Mrs Prime, Miss Donna, Sam and all the parents who helped with the costumes, props etc created a masterpiece – well done and thank you. Carolyn x

I have been meaning to email you both to thank you on what a great experience my daughters had rehearsing and taking part in the show. They really enjoyed the whole thing and it was great to see a few friendships developing between girls who aren’t at school together.

I have a friend who is 18 and she came to watch both evenings and bought her brothers back for the second evening! Another friend said how professional she thought the whole show was. Helen
