The CandoCo Foundation Course in Dance is the first of its kind offering an opportunity for disabled students to realise their potential. It is also a long awaited and challenging opportunity for CandoCo to expand their education programme of integrated dance practice.

This pioneering one year programme, is especially for those preparing for more advanced dance training and ultimately, careers in dance. Students are being encouraged to understand and develop their individual strengths, while gaining a good understanding of technique. The content will include choreographic residencies with CandoCo dancers; improvisation and exploration; and fitness, health and safe working. All aimed towards providing students with the skills for further dance training.

The professional running and nature of this course is set at a very high standard, as students are inspired and trained by professional choreographers, dancers and teachers. It is essential that students possess a high level of personal motivation and commitment to successfully complete the required criteria.
