The company is led by award-winning dancer and choreographer Kirill Burlov, whose impressive credits include Rambert, Northern Ballet, Michael Clark Company and English National Ballet. Drawing on his extensive professional experience, Kirill will challenge and inspire you to produce exciting, expressive work.

As a company member, you’ll join a supportive community of dedicated dancers, enjoy exclusive membership benefits and perform as part of a dynamic contemporary ensemble in London.

Train. Create. Perform.

The Contemporary Dance Company is designed for dancers who want to move beyond weekly classes and become part of an ongoing creative ensemble.

As a company member, you will work with a professional choreographer to develop original contemporary performance material. Weekly rehearsals combine technique, improvisation, creative exploration and detailed choreographic work, allowing each dancer to contribute to the company’s developing repertoire.

You will experience the discipline of rehearsing towards a shared artistic goal while developing the individuality, versatility and performance presence needed to communicate movement to an audience.

This is not simply a class where a new routine is taught each week. The company works collaboratively over time to create, refine and perform complete pieces.
