Dance alumni Ross makes history

Congratulations to our former student Ross Hoey, who has become the college's first male dancer to be accepted into the prestigious Rambert School in London to study BA (Hons) in Ballet and Contemporary Dance, with a full scholarship.

Ross, who studied HND Dance Artists at the college's Dance Studio Scotland based at Anniesland Campus, started at the Rambert School in September. 

During his four years at the college Ross developed into a gifted dancer and choreographer. He is neurodivergent and dance is how he communicates best. Being able to express himself in a non-verbal discipline made perfect sense to him and it is how he managed to integrate with his classmates and lecturers and navigate the world generally.

Ross excelled during his time at the college and was also one of only six dancers who were selected by Scottish Ballet for their Youth Exchange Project, and he was also chosen by National Youth Dance Company of Scotland for their 2024/2025 season.

Ross was also announced as the Ede & Ravenscroft Prizewinner for the Faculty of Arts and Continuing Education at the college's Graduation and Awards Ceremony in November 2025.
