The most important requirement for an education as a dancer is the love to dance. However, this love is not necessarily created on its own; it is rather awoken by a passionate teacher. Only then there is a chance that a glimmer sparks into a career as a professional dancer.
Requirements
Requirements for the professional dance education:
- the minimum age of students is 16 years (minors have to prove parental consent)
- a high school graduating diploma
- a medical form stating your health condition and physical ability
- experience in classical ballet and modern dance

We are looking for young, passionate and enthusiastic dancers who are willing to give everything for their professional aim. The audition consists of
