Dance University of East London

Overview

Ready to take your dance career to the next level and develop your unique artistic voice? Want to explore new styles and cultures, challenge traditional ideas of what dance can be and engage with dance practices shaped by communities across Africa, Asia, the Americas and the global diaspora? Then this is the place where your movement ambitions belong. In our MA and MFA Dance programmes, you’ll explore dance forms historically excluded from traditional settings, approaching them as powerful expressions of lived experience, resistance and cultural identity that connect histories, people and cultures across continents. 

You will:

• Explore a wide range of dance forms, challenging the traditional Western dance canon.
• Immerse yourself in East London’s vibrant performance scene at the heart of Stratford’s cultural quarter.
• Gain real-world experience through industry partnerships with organisations such as East London Dance and Breakin’ Convention.
• Develop critical, artistic, dramaturgical and curatorial skills that help you understand your work’s meaning, impact and audience, and position it confidently within today’s evolving creative landscape.
•
