"I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself."

 

— Mikhail Baryshnikov

 

 

At Wellington College International Shanghai, we believe in the transformative power of dance. Our vibrant programme invites pupils of all levels to explore a diverse range of dance genres, empowering them to reach new heights of artistic expression and personal growth.

Pathways for every dancer
 


Whether a pupil is just starting their dance journey or has years of experience, our inclusive approach ensures they can find their place in our community. From foundational classes to advanced training, we offer a wealth of opportunities to suit every skill level.

Showcase your talent 
 


Throughout the year, we host exciting events that allow our pupils to share their dance prowess with the world. The annual Have2Dance competition offers a platform for pupils in years 3-13 to compete in a variety of genres, with finalists performing at a dedicated assembly. Additionally, our vibrant Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) programme provides ongoing training in styles like ballet, jazz and hip hop.

For our most dedicated dancers, the prestigious Fellowship Programme invites pupils in years 10-13 to audition. This selective programme nurtures emerging leaders, with experienced "Fellows" serving as mentors and role models. Selected aspiring dancers can also earn the title of ‘Aspirants Fellows’ or ‘Dance Associate’. They gain valuable training and insights that will propel them towards their goals.
