Urdang started as one woman’s dream and has fulfilled the dreams of students since 1973. Passion defines our approach in the training of students; a belief in supporting diversity through breaking down cultural and learning barriers. This founding ethos continues today in our commitment to the development of ‘fresh talent’. Urdang is now recognised as one of the UK’s finest Performing Arts colleges with over 85% of recent graduates working in the industry, many in London’s West End.
LOCATION
The Old Finsbury Town Hall is one of London’s landmarks providing a high-class venue for training, close to Sadler’s Wells. Now with a new site, Urdang 2, across the road, the Urdang has ten state-of-the-art studios, singing rooms, lecture rooms, a library, an IT suite, a café and a modern treatment department. The stunning Great Hall doubles as a performance space enabling student in-house productions. It also provides accommodation for West End musicals, dance or music productions.

Urdang offers a professional yet relaxed atmosphere to enable all participants to feel at ease and perform to their best.
