We are excited to announce the 2026 CCDP Auditions.
About CCDP:
Our Classical and Contemporary Development Program extends and enriches the experience and knowledge of classical and contemporary dance. CCDP dancers will be working closely with industry professionals every week, with the vision to improve technique and widen our dancers’ classical and contemporary vocabulary.
The training will push the bodies of the dancers and stimulate their minds thus diversifying their training and creating a far more versatile dancer. This program aims to create sustainable working habits to excel in the dance industry and to allow the dancers to explore and understand their bodies and what they are capable of.
The program will consist of three levels Junior, Intermediate and Advanced, which correlate to age and ability.
The Junior level (8-10yrs) will aim to encourage and transition the dancers into the program with longevity and sustainable working patterns in mind. Their timetable will be more concise to allow room for the young dancers to rest and recover.
The Intermediate level(11-13yrs) will include more classes and levels of intensity due to age and ability differences. The dancers will be exposed to a variety of classes that complete their overall training and foundational development.
The Advanced level (14+yrs) will further push the dancers and explore their artistic development and performative skills. The classes will be of higher intensity to better prepare the dancers for their futures in the professional field of dance.
The program aims to create a nurturing environment, with great faculty involved and guest teachers on board. The faculty will be able to support the students and cultivate good working relationships, which will add to their overall development and self-growth.
Please note: The CCDP is supplementary to DNA RAD Ballet classes. You must be taking RAD Ballet classes at DNA to enrol in our CCDP.
The Audition Process
The CCDP audition will be conducted online by submitting a link to performance footage. The video should be no longer than two minutes and feature either a classical or contemporary routine.
