Wilkes Academy will open a second studio in Swindon in September 2014.

The new space, at Westmead Drive in West Swindon, will offer five new dance studios, including a performance studio with a large viewing platform.

The new premises will include a common room, allowing dancers to practice audition pieces.

Wilkes Academy, in partnership with Swindon College, currently offers Level 3 Extended National Diploma in Performing Arts course - equivalent to three A Levels - which covers all aspects of dance, acting and singing. contact Swindon College at studentservices@swindon-college.ac.uk
