The course leaders were extremely knowledgeable, feedback was brutal and fair (always pushing us to do better), the Laban studios were a wonderful learning environment with so many resources at our fingertips and, despite the seriousness of the diploma itself, the atmosphere was laid back and fun.
The diploma covered virtually everything about teaching dance to children and young people- both in National Curriculum and in the community sector- including safeguarding, pitching for work, legal frameworks, planning, assessment/evaluation, anatomy and injury prevention.

History
Laban is the largest purpose-built contemporary dance centre in the world. The building was designed by Herzog and de Meuron, the Pritzker Prize winning (2001) Swiss architects who also designed the Tate Modern and the National Stadium in Beijing (2008 Olympic Games).
In 1948 Laban began its life as the Art of Movement Studio in Manchester, and moved to Addlestone in Surrey due to expansion in 1953. Five years later Rudolf Laban died. In 1973, on the retirement of Lisa Ullman, Marion North became Head of School (Principal and Director), followed by Bonnie Bird, Artistic Director, who joined the Art of Movement Studio in 1974. The Art of Movement Studio was renamed Laban Centre for Movement and Dance in 1975, and moved to new premises in New Cross, South East London.

-range of specialist pathways at master’s level including the opportunity to gain a Master of Arts/Science qualification in one year
-the only dance faculty in a conservatoire to have an active research department, with externally funded projects, and a thriving music and dance research community
-range of one year programmes including the Diploma in Dance Studies (DDS): an open and flexible programme, based on a professional development model, with in-depth training in dance practice alongside options for dance study to support learning and professional development; and the vocationally based Postgraduate Diploma in Community Dance with the option to upgrade to Master’s: a specialist, highly practical programme, leading towards professional employment opportunities.
All our programmes place a strong emphasis on high technical standards alongside creative artistic practice and the development of transferable skills.
