What makes Savage different?
​
Just like every performer, every training route is different. At Savage, our focus is on preparing you for the reality of today’s performing arts industry – not just for an exam. That’s what sets us apart from many traditional performing arts academies.
Our teachers have danced with artists from LMFAO to Dua Lipa and performed in West End shows such as SIX – so you’ll receive high‑level technical training in dance and theatre. But we also know you need more than great technique. We help you build confidence, resilience and a clear understanding of how to build a sustainable career in the wider industry.

What we look for
Choreographers and judges choose the performer that looks the part. And so do we. When you audition for us, we don’t just consider your technical ability.
We look at the whole package. Your passion. Your drive. Your energy.
​
When you come to an audition be yourself not a cookie cutter version of someone else.
