Course objective
The program will give you the best possible conditions for continuing with your career in the dance field.
Today’s dancefield needs dancers that are independent artists (dancer/maker):
- Artists that are equipped with tools to support a creative process with a choreographer (both on a technical and on a creative level).
- Artists that are equipped with tools to create their own works.
- Artists that are equipped with tools to reflect and discuss around the field of contemporary dance in relation to the arts and to our surrounding world.
In the program the young dancer also gets help with contacts to higher education in and outside of Sweden.

The teachers Team form a support group around the students:
The team discusses as a group as well as together with the students on a weekly basis the extra needs for the students mental and physical wellbeing.
From there we can decide for the students to get support and guidance from a mentor (Marja Bennet, Mathieu Hebeisen, Danielle Dietz) or the school's curator. Even extra Alexander Technique sessions or physiotherapy with Anne-Sophie is offered.
If the student needs further support we will help to find support outside of the school's program.
