    Diploma Programs in Performing Arts

    Graduate, post-graduate and advanced diplomas often serve as a bridge between levels of scholarly education. Furthermore, diplomas provide a source for obtaining professional qualifications and additional training in specific areas of study.

    As you begin your search for the right course of study, you may be wondering, what is a diploma in performing arts? It is a diploma in music, dance or the dramatic arts involving theory and the practical experience of live performance. Theater students can expect classes in acting, body movement and stage technique, while music students learn performance techniques, songwriting and studio recording skills. In the field of dance, courses in movement, choreography and various types of dance are required.

    Individuals with a diploma in performing arts possess knowledge that often leads to specialized careers in the entertainment industry. Performance technique, marketing and event management are just a few of the skills that students will take into the professional world.

    Depending on the location, the school and the program of study, earning a diploma in performing arts can take one to three years with varying tuition costs. Contact schools of interest directly for current tuition rates.

    A diploma in performing arts is often the first step towards a career in theater, cinema, dance or vocal performance. In addition to being an entertainer, there are also many off-stage jobs available in the industry. Whether you prefer the limelight of professional acting, dancing and singing or working behind the scenes as director, choreographer or voice coach, a performing arts diploma provides the necessary skills to succeed.
