About Youth Company Training
-
All Youth Company members are expected to work on skills across all four categories that form our broad Base Level Curriculum. These are:
- Acrobatics
- Juggling and Manipulation
- Equilibristics
- Trapeze & Aerial Acrobatics This gives our young performers a solid skills base for performing a wide range of skills in our Company Shows.
Training Times and Costs:
All Youth Company members are expected to attend our main Session on Saturday afternoons which runs from 1.30pm - 6.00pm (term-time).
The training cost for these sessions is £150 per 11 week term.
In addition to this session students are encouraged to enrol for additional 'Skill Specific' classes during the week. Under our 'Rainbow Scheme' (see below), students can take an addition class for just £50 extra, and even attend the Youth Company session plus all 5 mid-week classes for a total of £300 a term.
We also arrange extra Intensive training Sessions, Master Classes, Show Rehearsals and Summer Schools for Youth Company members. We will give you information on each of these opportunities as we arrange them.
