The Ned Sherrin Bursary is the most valuable retraining bursary DCD is currently able to offer to independent dancers. This bursary is worth £4,000.00 and it is awarded in memory of DCD’s late Trust Chairman Ned Sherrin CBE. It was made possible by generous donations from various organisations and individuals to honour the late Ned Sherrin’s memory.

The Maude Lloyd & Rudolf Nureyev Bursary and the Wallace Potts Bursary are worth up to £3,000 each and are awarded for outstanding retraining applications from professional independent dancers.

The late Maude Lloyd was a board director and great supporter of Dancers' Career Development. Maude was also a dancer and muse of choreographers, a dance critic with her husband Nigel Gosling and devoted friend to Rudolf Nureyev. Wallace Potts was a film director, screenwriter, and the research archivist for the Rudolf Nureyev Foundation. Both bursaries are funded by generous grants from the Rudolf Nureyev Foundation in memory of these outstanding dance personalities.

All independent or commercial dancers are welcome to apply if they have been a professional dancer for at least eight years and have performed a minimum of five of these in the UK, or earlier if they had to retire due to injury or illness. The bursaries are aimed to finance a personal retraining plan for a professional dancer, which leads to an accredited career or business start-up inside or outside the dance industry.

DCD is unable to accept applications from dancers not fulfilling the minimum criteria,to fund dance training or from dancers who have previously received funding from DCD. The application deadline is 5pm on Wednesday 1st September 2010, and the proposed retraining project should begin only after this deadline and within one year after the award has been granted.

There will also be Acting for Others bursaries available.

Once completed a hard copy of the application form should be sent by post to DCD.
