Associate Dance Artists scheme
We invited Flawless, Shaded Voice Dance Company and The March PerformanceGroup to participate in the new Associate Dance Artists scheme. This means the dance companies will use our studios, choreograph new works for undergraduate students and host work-in progress seminars on campus to allow students direct access to the creative process at work at a professional level.
Event - Dances Then and Now
Every May Middlesex University end-of-year dance show. The performance @ ArtsDeport in North London showcases final year Dance students in the already established performances, as well as their newly choreographed routines.

Student profile
Murilo Leite D' Imperio, BA Dance performance
I was a direct entry student into the Year 3. Over this last year I discovered a lot about myself as a person and as a performer. In order to improve and tackle any areas of weakness I have to be focused, self-motivated and professional. What's next? For now I have a job lined up in a small independent film. We'll see where it goes from there!
