With outstanding results year after year, the NCD training programs have students who are performing in all genres all over the world.   Our courses are streamed to ensure you get the most advanced individualised training in the genre that you are most interested in being employed. Our training in all streams have an emphasis on classical and contemporary technique. NCD students are technical, versatile and highly sought after when completing their training.   Our teachers and mentors all have the common goal of developing each dancer to a level capable to pursue their dreams.
