BA Modern Ballet

The week consists of predominantly practical classes with approximately 30 hours of contact time in the dance studio every week. In addition to the daily ballet class, students will have classes in pas de deux, contemporary dance, repertoire, pointe work, virtuosity, contextual studies and Pilates.

Students will also have the opportunity to work individually with tutors on technique and repertoire solos. There will be observation sessions at Scottish Ballet and work with Company members where appropriate. The timetable is predominantly practical (generally 9am-5pm), with additional Saturday morning sessions.

The opportunities for artistic collaborations across the RSAMD provide another unique strand to the course and are essential in further enhancing the breadth of the training, taking students beyond focusing solely on the dance.

In addition, the collaboration opportunities expand the students' horizons and ultimately increase their employability in the short and longer term. By the final year, this approach will have provided students with a strong sense of their own strengths and they will be given individual guidance and support in the pursuit of employment.
