Hi guys! So I'm in my final year of college/sixth form studying towards my level 3 qualifications - Btec Performing Arts (Acting), Btec Media Production and A-level English Lang&Lit (combined). After much thought, I am really looking to go into the musical theatre and acting industrys as a performer and so am preparing for drama school auditions. Although I have a fair amount of acting experience, I have very little dance experience. Of course, I am trying to develop my dance skills as fast as I can and find a tutor who can help me build a solid foundation of dance ability however so far, this is still a work-in-progress situation. Although I am a strong singer and actress, I know my dance ability is really holding me back - I have experienced this lack of skills first-hand through several auditions (once embarrassingly alongside a lot of very capable 10-year-olds). Knowing this, realistically I know that my chances of getting onto a BA degree programme are slim. I am looking to study at a conservatoire/drama school and not a university as I feel drama school will provide me with the best opportunities to learn and hone my craft. (Feel free to try and convince me otherwise but currently that is my stand-point as due to the financial burden going into further education is going to cost me, I want to make sure the training I get is from a reputable source with strong links to performance careers in the industry). Aside from BA courses, I am also researching other options such as HNCs, Foundation years/Gap year courses and other one-year intensive courses and I wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations for me to check out? The school doesn’t have to be well-known as long as the training is good quality and will be able to help someone like me improve their triple threat elements in order to ready them for a BA course at a reputable drama school/conservatoire. I’d love to know your thoughts so please reach out asap! 😊
