With the support of local Occupational Health Company, HCB Group, Downland Dance are now able to offer a limited ammount of bursaries for talented children who would like to attend dance classes, but are unable to afford the costs.
Successful candidates will be awarded full or partial funding for dance classes provided they meet the basic conditions of eligibility:
- The student must be 18 years of age or under.
- The student must have an interest in learning/continuing dance training.
- The parents must be able and willing to demonstrate that they are not in a position to fund the classes themselves.
- The student and parents must consent to photographs of the student being taken and shared on social media, including (but not limited to) the Downland Dance and HCBGroup websites, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
It is not necessary to be a current student at Downland Dance to apply, nor is any previous dance experienced required. Applications are welcome from any family who meet the criteria.
Bursaries can be used to fund a full membership for classes, or can be used to part fund students with existing memberships in order for them to upgrade their plan and attend more classes.
To apply for a bursary, please fill out the form below. Your application will be processed by the artistic staff, and we will inform you of the outcome in due course. The decision of the Artistic Director will be final.
Please note that due to high demand, we will unfortunately not be able to process applications received after Monday 13th February 2023.
