In 2003, the college moved to its present location in Bedford in a building previously occupied by Middlesex University.

The college prepares students for a career in the performing arts and has a history of feeding artists into West End theatre and dance companies.

Key areas of study include classical ballet, tap, jazz and contemporary dance, singing and drama.

The college is one of the 21 schools selected to allocate Dance and Drama Awards, a government funded scholarship scheme to subsidise vocational performing arts training.

Alongside its professional training, the college operates a part-time lower school, which teaches dance and theatre skills to children of pre-vocational age.
