Arts Award Welcome
DanceXchange is an official Arts Award Welcome centre.
Arts Award is a nationally recognised qualification that supports young people aged from 11 to 25 to develop as artists and arts professionals. The scheme is run by Trinity College London, supported by Arts Council England.
Through Arts Award at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels, young people aged 11-25 can explore any of the art forms including performing arts, visual arts, literature, media and multimedia. The award builds confidence, helps young people to enjoy cultural activities, and prepares them for further education or employment.
DanceXchange is pleased to offer opportunities to Arts Award participants in the following areas:
Taking Part
Discounted rates on dance classes (a £3.50 rate per class, normally £4 per class)
Enjoying and Appreciating
Discounted ticket offers for dx performances in The Patrick Centre. Many of these performances will have post show talks which are an ideal opportunity to ask questions of the performers and learn more about how a show is put together. N.B. please note this offer is subject to the programme at DanceXchange.
Meeting Arts Professionals
Staff from DanceXchange can meet with young people to chat about careers in the arts.
