AATH Fees & Payment Information

The Acosta Advanced Training Hub (AATH) offers two pathways – +16 and +18 – each designed to prepare talented dancers for professional careers. While both pathways share the same course fee structure, there are important differences regarding scholarships and financial support. Please read carefully.

AATH +16 Programme

The AATH +16 stands as a unique and distinct extension of the Acosta Dance Foundation’s training initiatives. Unlike the Foundation’s other fully funded programmes, the AATH +16 is a payable course for dancers aged 16 and above who are seeking intensive professional-level training.

Course Fee: £14,000
Deposit: £1,000 (payable upon acceptance)
Payment Plans: Flexible instalment options are available to support accessibility for families.

Application & Audition Fee

£25 (non-refundable) – payable upon submission of the application form. This fee covers administration and audition costs and must be paid regardless of the audition outcome.
Scholarships

The AATH +16 does not offer full scholarships.

A limited number of partial scholarships (50%) are available, typically awarded to international students or those entering through competitions and partner organisations.

Additional Costs

Participants are responsible for their own accommodation, travel, and personal expenses throughout the programme.

AATH +18 Programme

The AATH +18 for those not receiving a scholarship, the programme remains accessible on a fee-paying basis with flexible payment plans available.

Course Fee: £14,000
Deposit: £1,000
Payment Plans: Flexible instalments available.

Application & Audition Fee

£25 (non-refundable), payable with the application form.

Scholarships

  • The AATH +18 is the only pre-professional dance programme in the UK that offers up to 10 full scholarships each year.
  • These scholarships cover 100% of tuition fees, allowing selected dancers to train entirely free of charge.
  • Applicants not awarded a full scholarship will be responsible for paying the full programme fee.


Additional Costs

As with +16, students cover their own accommodation, travel, and personal expenses.

⚠️ Important Reminder:

  • All applicants (+16 and +18) must pay the £25 non-refundable application & audition fee.
  • Only +18 applicants are eligible for full scholarships (up to 10 awarded each year).
  • +16 applicants may be considered for partial scholarships but are primarily expected to cover tuition fees.
