London Contemporary Dance School

LCDS is a world-leader in dance higher education and a key part of The Place – the creative powerhouse for dance in central London. LCDS champions new ideas, embraces artistic innovation and enables extraordinary experiences helping students to realise their full potential as dance makers, leaders, educators, and performers. Our undergraduate and postgraduate courses are centered around sustainable dance practice, physical and mental wellbeing and preparation for a portfolio career in the global creative industries.

Our courses reflect London as a global hub, in which many dancing cultures intersect and collide, and actively seek to dismantle old hierarchies. By encountering dance practices from all over the world, LCDS students discover new ways of moving and expressing that enable them to connect with artists, audiences and participants from different cultural backgrounds.
