School Regulations

The school was established with the purpose of being a gateway to the world of dance and serving as a professional space for anyone who wants to develop their abilities as a dancer and creator, to explore the body and movement, and to transform dance into a language and a home.

The curriculum focuses on areas such as ballet, contemporary dance, improvisation, contact improvisation, repertoire, and working with choreographers. The variety of study tracks are tailored to different levels and combine the development of physical skills, exploration, and integration of movement language. The school aims to embrace the uniqueness and personal language of each student, with an emphasis on group work as a means of exploration, creation, and development. The learning process encourages work based on enjoyment and a harmonious approach to the body, while acknowledging the personal abilities of each student, with an emphasis on a high and challenging professional level.

Program of Studies
The studies are conducted according to a fixed schedule. Notices regarding changes to the schedule will be posted on the school’s notice boards, sent via email, or communicated through WhatsApp.

The school administration reserves the right to make changes to the schedule and hours as deemed necessary and due to circumstances that may arise.

The school administration may choose not to open a course or program that has been advertised if the minimum number of registered students has not been met beforehand. The minimum number of participants required to open each course will be determined by the school administration. In case of course cancellation by the school, the full tuition paid by the registrants will be refunded.
