About Imperial Conservatoire of Music & Dance (ICMD)
Imperial Conservatoire of Music & Dance (ICMD) is a premier institution dedicated to excellence in music and dance education. Founded on the belief that the performing arts have the power to inspire, transform, and connect individuals across cultures, ICMD provides a nurturing, inclusive, and high-standard learning environment for students of all ages and abilities.
At ICMD, our mission is to cultivate artistic excellence while fostering confidence, discipline, creativity, and a lifelong love for the performing arts. Through carefully structured programs, experienced instructors, and a supportive community, we empower students to reach their full potential—whether pursuing professional pathways or personal enrichment.
Our Founder: Yuna Namdar
ICMD was founded by Yuna Namdar, a visionary leader with a deep passion for music, dance, and arts education. Driven by a commitment to quality instruction and holistic artistic development, Yuna Namdar established ICMD to create a conservatoire where technical excellence, artistic expression, and personal growth exist in harmony.
Under his leadership, ICMD has grown into a dynamic institution that values inclusivity, cultural diversity, and educational integrity. His dedication to nurturing talent and building a strong artistic community continues to shape the conservatoire’s philosophy and long-term vision.
Why ICMD is Different
ICMD stands apart through a rare combination of professional standards, multidisciplinary education, financial resilience, and social purpose. Rather than operating as a traditional single-discipline school, ICMD is designed as a modern conservatoire-style academy with long-term sustainability and community impact at its core. We bring music and dance together under one professional academy, offering structured education alongside affordable rehearsal and practice spaces.
Our Commitment to Inclusion
As a social enterprise, inclusion sits at the heart of everything we do. ICMD is committed to removing barriers to participation for disabled individuals and underrepresented communities. Surplus income is reinvested into subsidised access, inclusive programmes, accessibility improvements, and community-based initiatives, ensuring that music and dance remain open, empowering, and transformative for all.
