The Place - Home

Welcome to The Place

a creative powerhouse for dance development, in the heart of London

One of Europe’s most exciting, innovative dance spaces, where artists from all over the world come to push creative boundaries, to experiment and to perform outstanding new work for audiences who expect to be surprised, inspired and delighted. The Place is home to London Contemporary Dance School, a 288 seat theatre, an extensive range of classes, courses and participatory opportunities for adults and young people, and professional development programmes for artists.

Study

London Contemporary Dance School champions new ideas, embraces artistic innovation and enables extraordinary experiences for dance artists to realise their full potential. The School offers intensive technical and creative dance courses in Higher Education at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
