Spotlight on the Pre Professional Dancers

In preparation for our Pre Professional Programme performance ‘Made in Wales’ we would like to introduce them to you!

These dancers are from all over the country and even further; having quite a few international students. The performance features 4 pieces all made in Wales and showcases the amazing talent and hard work they have put into the programme!

Newport is the first show; Wednesday the 15th of March in our home theatre ‘The Riverfront’ and their second performance will be on the 31st of March in Cardiff at ‘The Dance House’.
