A year-long dance and wellbeing programme exploring the body as living, regenerative ecosystem.
On 28 February 2026, acclaimed ballet master Loipa Araujo will lead an exclusive masterclass at the Acosta Dance Foundation, offering dancers the chance to experience her exceptional guidance, artistic depth, and unique approach to classical training.
This masterclass is designed first and foremost as an enriching learning experience, yet it also provides a valuable window for the artistic team of the AATH to observe emerging talent.
Participation can therefore support a dancer’s candidacy for both the Acosta Advanced Training Hub +16 and +18, as well as serve as consideration for the 2026 Summer Programmes.
If you’re looking for an opportunity to grow, be seen, and take your training to the next level, we invite you to register.
For those unable to attend the 28 February masterclass, there will be an additional audition opportunity on 11 April.
Take your dancing to the next level with our two‑year training programme for ages 16+. Train with world‑class teachers, gain professional skills, and thrive in a supportive, inspiring environment.
This programme brings together talented young dancers from London and across the globe who are eager to deepen their training through the Carlos Acosta curriculum, rooted in the traditions of the Cuban Ballet School, Técnica Cubana Contemporánea and Afro-Cuban Folklore.
Students aged 16 and above may also be considered for the Acosta Advanced Training Hub, a full-time, two-year programme based at the Acosta Dance Centre in London.
When you join the Acosta Dance Foundation family, and however you choose to support us, you will be helping us to continue our life-changing work with dancers and choreographers all around the world.
The ECPs of the Acosta Dance Foundation focus on introducing students to the rich dance legacy of Cuba while enhancing their understanding of movement vocabulary, music rhythms, and dance traditions. The programmes are designed in collaboration with local schools, organisations, and Woolwich Works to provide accessible opportunities for students to engage in world-class dance activities. The overarching goal is to create a dancer in every home, sparking curiosity, creativity, and an enduring appreciation for dance.
