It offers a four-year training from foundation level and prepares students for careers as dance performers, choreographers, and community artists.
A successful bid to the National Lottery allowed the college to build a facility at its Kingsway campus, comprising dance studios and a theatre.
Building began in 2001 and "The Space" was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002.
The College also successfully applied to the National Lottery for a Dance Artist from the Scottish Arts Council to develop a community programme which would use the facilities at non-training times.
The school seeks to nurture students choreographically and creatively and invites specialist lecturers such as Richard Alston, Stephen Petronio, and Sean Feldman.
