I have gained strong technique in ballet, jazz, contemporary and commercial. Being able to have one on one time for singing and drama tutors meant my voice and acting also grew in strength. I had all the tools I needed to succeed in auditions and succeed I did! I gained places at The Urdang Academy, BodyWorks, Bird and along with places at two top universities; University of Essex and Buckinghamshire new university. I could not recommend this course enough! I feel so privileged to of had this opportunity, had amazing teachers who really know what they are talking about and know how the industry works to help guide us through the audition period. We have also had some incredible workshops with guest teachers who have all/ still are in the industry. This year has been a whirlwind and I’ve had such a good time and met some great friends, I’m excited now to see were the future will take me and my fellow peers.

When I started ballet classes in Exeter when I was 15, I had no idea if it was going to take me anywhere exciting. Yet two years later I found myself on the prevocational course in Truro working super hard to get where I wanted to be. The course was the perfect for me as the intensive hours in the timetable made me catch up with other girls at my auditions who had been dancing since they were three. Thanks to everyone one that taught me, the training on this course and my hard work I got into Performers College, Cambridge Performing Arts, Laine Theatre Arts and London Studio Centre. I also received a DADA for Cambridge Performing Arts as well as a scholarship for London Studio Centre. This course has helped reinforce great work ethic towards my training and I know wherever I go next, I will work very hard. Big thank you to everyone that's helped me on my crazy journey!

I have been with Jason Thomas for the past 2 years and since join the Pre-Vocational course my confidence and technique have improved rapidly. During the first term we spend time on audition technique, this has been invaluable. I auditioned for Millennium Performing Arts and have received a full scholarship for September 2012. Millennium have put me forward for the Andrew Lloyd Webber scholarship. I would have never had this opportunity without attending this course. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about auditioning for Vocational College
Jake was excepted at Millennium, Urdang (BA Hons) and Cambridge Performing Arts, and now graduated with a Millennium-full scholarship

The Foundation Course has been the best experience! I could have not got better training anywhere else! Since doing the course I have been offered places at Laine Theatre Arts, Millennium performing arts, London Theatre school, and I have chosen to further my training at Cambridge Performing Arts in which I was offered a fully funded place! From the course I have also received my Grade 8 Musical Theatre with distinction, level 4 Diploma in Musical Theatre with a distinction both with Trinity College, I have also left the course as a fully qualified IDTA street dance teacher, with this qualification I have worked with Children all over Cornwall and have set up my own community project working with underprivileged children! The course has offered me so many opportunities I cannot thank Jason his teacher and the Foundation Course enough!

Since joining Jason’s dance studio in October 2011, I have reached a new level of physicality which I thought was unattainable this has totally changed the structure of my dancing technique over a multitude of genres. As an alternative to college the professional teachers who have been brought into assist with our development have all been grounded in the real world of dance and theatre. I really enjoy this course it has enabled me to take a further step into the professional world of dance.
Megan now has been excepted at Cambridge Performing Arts and SLP College on a full scholarship.
