Based in Colchester, Essex just of the A12, this full-time course offers all aspects of dance, singing & acting tuition. We have a full faculty of qualified, professional teachers who specialise in their chosen field eagerly waiting to pass on their expertise. Regular mock auditions will take place throughout the course to prepare for future auditions and guest teachers from various professional full-time colleges will hold workshops giving the most up-to-date advice from the performing arts industry.

Evolution Foundation College is not attached or affiliated with any full-time Performing Arts college; this allows us to provide an honest and unbiased opinion as to which establishments are best suited to the individual student.

You will receive daily Ballet classes, which will give you the core strength and sound technique required to back up all other dance classes. Jazz technique classes will further contribute to your secure and stable technical ability, giving you the confidence to pursue all other styles of dance knowing you will have control over your body.

Contemporary dance, tap, musical theatre and jazz classes will also be on the weekly timetable, constantly working towards all individual needs to create a secure and confident performer. Pilates classes are included as an important aid to body conditioning, injury prevention, improving body awareness and refining dance technique. Lectures are also held covering topics such as make-up and skincare, health & nutrition and injury prevention.

**NEW** Weekly Cross-fit sessions are also included in the course timetable.

Weekly singing and acting group classes will help you work as part of a team, gaining confidence in delivering songs and dialogue with clear diction and notation. Individual lessons in singing and acting will be taken weekly to work on your audition songs and monologues. Evolution Foundation College will ensure you have prepared a large repertoire in both subjects for you to be fully prepared for any audition requests.

During the year you will also receive masterclasses from visiting guest teachers from in and around the profession including choreographers, current west-end performers and college lecturers who will help guide and advise you on the latest trends from within the industry.

Contextual work will be set to help support all the practical work from the course, which will help prepare you for the contextual work you may be set at a full-time 3-year performing arts college. This aspect of the course will assist you in identifying your own, personal goals, future aims, strengths to be built on and weaknesses to be addressed.

Our aim is not just to do the job of preparing you for your auditions, but to also ensure you are ready to embark on life as a first-year student who knows they are fully prepared both mentally and physically for life within a performing arts establishment.
