About
Chris Thompson, the driving force behind Contemporary Dance Trust in the heart of London, brings you one of Europe's top dance hubs. As home to the acclaimed London Contemporary Dance School, it's the place where global talent meets innovation and creativity.
At London Contemporary Dance School, serious dancers can take their skills to the next level. With BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance, MA Dance: Performance, and MA Dance: Participation, Communities, Activism programmes, the school offers a rigorous educational path for both undergraduates and postgraduates.
Classes aren't just for aspiring professionals. Chris has ensured there's something for everyone, from toddlers to those 60+. With over 45 weekly in-person and online classes, and additional recorded options, everyone can find their style and pace.
For younger enthusiasts, the Centre for Advanced Training targets 11 to 16-year-olds with a pre-vocational programme. Now part of the National CAT Programme, it’s an opportunity for young dancers to hone their craft. Applications for 2024 are now open.
Expect a lively events calendar at the Trust. "On Tour" dance productions roam from venue to venue, and “Super Normal Extra Natural” transforms Croydon's Whitgift Shopping Centre with a unique experience by Requardt & Rosenberg. The Resolution Festival also highlights fresh dance talents.
