ABOUT OUR ASSOCIATES

Born from the success of the award-winning Phoenix Company, Phoenix Associates was created with a clear mission: to make world-class supplementary training accessible to every young dancer. For years, Phoenix has been a name synonymous with innovation, excellence, and opportunity, producing elite concept videos, staging unforgettable performances, and opening doors for dancers to step into the global industry.

Phoenix Associates continues this legacy, offering free training on a “donate what you can afford” basis. There’s no audition barrier, if you’re aged 7–18, you can train with us. Boys and girls work separately in focused technique classes, but also unite for auditions, workshops, pas de deux, and rehearsals, echoing the professional rehearsal room.

TRAINING AT PHOENIX ASSOCIATES

Our programme is designed to complement your existing studio training with a comprehensive, versatile training programme. Dancers can expect training in a range of style including;

  • Classical Ballet

  • Jazz Technique & Theatre Jazz

  • Modern & Lyrical

  • Contemporary & Commercial

  • Acro

This combination builds stronger, more adaptable dancers who are equally at home on stage, in film or in an audition room.

WHY PHOENIX ASSOCIATES?

A legacy of excellence. From humble beginnings to an internationally recognised company, Phoenix has become a powerhouse for producing polished dancers, inspiring performances and viral content seen by thousands.

  • Elite Performance Opportunities: Students take part in professional-level productions and concept videos that gain real exposure, not just for Phoenix but for every dancer involved.

  • Industry Faculty: Our teachers are not just influencers but established professionals working at the highest levels of the performing arts teaching. They bring real-world insight, contacts, and credibility.

  • Proven Alumni Success: Phoenix dancers are now performing across the globe, from West End stages to international tours, proving the effectiveness of our training.

  • Community & Growth: Phoenix is more than training. It’s a family that fosters creativity, discipline, resilience, and lifelong friendships.

    At Phoenix Associates, we believe that the future of dance belongs to those with talent, passion, and drive, not just those who can afford it. That’s why our doors are open, our standards are high, and our commitment is to every dancer who walks into the studio.

    Train without limits. Perform without compromise. Rise with Phoenix.

    TRAINING ACROSS THE GLOBE

    Phoenix Associates holds its core monthly training in the heart of England, Birmingham, making it accessible to dancers from across the UK. In addition, we host exclusive pop-up sessions in cities nationwide, bringing the Phoenix experience to as many aspiring dancers as possible. With international interest continuing to grow, Phoenix International is preparing to take its training model across Europe and the USA, offering young dancers worldwide the chance to connect with our faculty, experience our ethos, and step into the Phoenix legacy.

    ONGOING SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT

    At Phoenix Associates, training doesn’t stop when class ends. We provide ongoing check-ins and individual support to ensure every student is progressing in a healthy, sustainable way. Our faculty are committed to nurturing each dancer’s technical growth, artistic development, and overall wellbeing. With regular feedback, goal-setting, and mentoring, we help you identify your strengths, overcome challenges, and unlock your full potential.

    This personalised approach ensures that every Phoenix dancer is guided, supported, and inspired to become not only the best dancer they can be, but also a confident, resilient individual ready for the demands of the professional world.

Samuel says…

“I cherish every Phoenix Boys session because it’s one giant family. Everyone is so inclusive, supportive and talented and it’s just such an inspirational environment for any dancer”.

Presentation is key

At Phoenix Associates, we are passionate about keeping the traditions of dance training alive. All students are expected to train in fitted black or grey dancewear with longer hair neatly secured in a bun. This not only respects the heritage of ballet and technical disciplines, but also allows teachers to correct alignment, placement, and detail with precision. We believe that discipline in presentation builds discipline in performance.

While baggy clothing may be permitted in selected commercial classes, our ethos remains rooted in the standards of classical and technical training. By maintaining these traditions, students learn the value of professionalism, consistency, and respect for the artform. Trainers will be needed for any commercial or hip hop training.

Phoenix has become known for producing dancers who can step onto any stage, set, or audition with zero fuss, presenting themselves perfectly prepared, polished, and ready to get the job done. These qualities are as vital to a successful career as technical ability, and we are proud to uphold them at every level of training. We do offer branded clothing if you wish to purchase it. These garments are unisex. It is not mandatory to have branded items but it is advised should you be chosen to perform with the collective at an event or showcase or appear in a photo shoot.
