ACADEMIC TRAINING
The Professional Training Course aims at preparing classical and contemporary dancers aged 10 to 25, offering students all the necessary tools to enter the world of work. Inclusion in the course takes place only through an audition and a subsequent motivational interview.
The educational program provides for the subdivision into eight academic levels, diversified in turn between male and female classes, in which, in addition to the study of practical subjects, the students attend theoretical seminars aimed at the cultural growth of the dancer. During the study cycle, the student is followed in the gradual introduction into the world of work through preparation for auditions, competitions in Italy and abroad and training internships with well-known companies.
