We hold auditions in person every term here at D&B. To audition for D&B School of Performing Arts, applicants will be expected to take part in a technical dance class as well as a commercial jazz class. They would also need to prepare two contrasting songs with sheet music (no longer than 2mins) and a monologue (no longer than 2mins). They would then be interviewed by the Principals to assess their suitability to take on the training. All applicants will hear within 10 working days whether they have been offered a place, invited back for a recall, or declined entry.

We hold an audition session every term and you will be allocated the next available date when you submit your application. We would advise auditioning as soon as possible to avoid disappointment due to our limited intake. We will be auditioning in October 2023, February and April 2024.

Our students come to us with a range of abilities and training. Although it is advantageous to have trained across the areas of dance, singing and acting, many of our students had received little or no training in one or more areas prior to their auditions. Please don’t be put off if you have not taken a ballet class before, or are not a confident singer. We are looking for potential and students that we feel could really develop under our guidance and training. If you would like to come along to part time classes to aid your confidence before your audition, please get in touch so that we could advise you what classes we would suggest.

All applicants are considered for a range of bursaries and full scholarships. You do not need to do anything other than apply to put yourself into the running for financial support.

Absolutely! You would need to fill in the form above. After that, we would contact you to arrange your submission. We would ask you to submit the following material via Dropbox or WeTransfer.

We would remind you that securing relevant visas and permissions to study in the UK would be down to the applicant and we would suggest that you look into the practicalities of that before you apply.
