As part of the application process, all required images must be uploaded directly into the application form. Please note that emailed photographs will not be accepted. Professional photography is not necessary, but we kindly ask that applicants submit recent images. These photographs are used purely as visual guidelines. Male-identifying dancers may disregard the requirement for the fourth position en pointe image. Applicants should ensure that all photographs are appropriately sized, correctly oriented, and that the dancer fully occupies the frame. Each file must include the applicant’s full name within the file name, and accepted formats are JPG, JPEG, or PNG, with a maximum file size of 10MB.

The Acosta Advanced Training Hub is open to dancers aged 16 and over who have either partly or fully completed their vocational training. The programme will run from September to July. Applicants must demonstrate a strong passion for both ballet and contemporary dance, as well as clear potential for pursuing a professional career in dance.

Entry into the AATH +16/+18 is through a formal application and workshop-based audition process. All applications must be submitted within the published deadlines, and the Acosta Dance Foundation/Centre reserves the right to accept or decline applications at its discretion without providing a reason.

The AATH programmes are delivered at the Acosta Dance Foundation, based within Woolwich Works, Royal Arsenal, London. We offers state-of-the-art studios and facilities, creating an outstanding training environment for participants.
