The Northern Theatre Arts Associates Training Program is designed to develop well-rounded, versatile performers, with a strong focus on fitness, technique, artistry, performance and pick-up skills.
Our Associates Programme offers high-quality, professional training led by some of the industry’s most respected choreographers and practitioners, giving students invaluable insight into the standards and expectations of the performing arts world.
At NTA, we recognise that dancers often balance multiple commitments. We actively encourage students to continue their core training, as well as participate in competitions and championships, ensuring a fully enriched and diverse training experience.
To provide maximum flexibility, the programme operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, with options to book monthly or annually. All training dates are released in advance for the full year, allowing students and families to plan with ease.
In addition to our regular training, we also offer exclusive intensives and additional training days throughout the year. These sessions provide further opportunities to refine technique, build strength and stamina and work closely with leading industry professionals.
