Northern School of Contemporary Dance is a unique dance training institution offering a select group of students the opportunity to develop and excel as dance artists in a conservatoire environment. Based in Chapeltown, Leeds, NSCD offers specialist, conservatoire-level dance training in an intimate and bespoke setting.
Our mission is to provide an inspirational learning experience, from first contact through into the profession, enabling aspiring dance artists, regardless of background, to shape the future of dance. We appreciate our diverse staff and student body that enriches and broadens the learning experience available here. We also recognise the importance of inclusivity in our learning environment, with staff working together to effectively support students' individual development as aware and creative dance practitioners, ready to contribute to society through their art and good citizenship.
