Limited spaces remaining on EVOLVE London

Sunday 11th October, Royal Opera House

All professional dancers are invited to join us as EVOLVE returns to London on Sunday 11th October 2015 at the Royal Opera House, in partnership with DCD Contributing Company, The Royal Ballet.

EVOLVE London is almost sold out, so complete our booking form now to reserve your place.

EVOLVE is designed especially to support and empower professional dancers to navigate their career transition. Find out more about EVOLVE and watch Lewis Landini's film from EVOLVE Glasgow.

To listen to others, opening up, working as a team, sharing and not being afraid is key. Being scared of change and transition is normal.

Constance Devernay, Scottish Ballet dancer and EVOLVE participant

Former Royal Ballet Principal Dancer, Jaimie Persson, and former Rambert and Richard Alston Dance Company dancer and independent artist, Jonathan Goddard, will be sharing their stories at EVOLVE London. Find out more about our speakers.

Places cost £30 and are in short supply!

Annual Company Visits

During August, DCD's Executive Director, Jennifer Curry, and Grants and Careers Officer, Ellen Chambers, visited many of DCD's Contributing Companies.

We had the pleasure of visiting The Royal Ballet, Rambert, English National Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet to update dancers and staff on DCD's support and developments. 

I left feeling more at peace about the future.

We were joined by DCD Retrained Dancers, Farooq Chaudhry, Nelson Fernandez OBE, Vladislav Bubnov and Tony Norman-Wright, who all kindly shared their stories and insights into career transition. Thank you!

We visited Northern Ballet in July and look forward to visiting Richard Alston Dance Company on Friday 11th September.

If you'd like to arrange a DCD visit to your company, please contact us.
