About this program
The Bachelor Dance programme at the Royal Conservatoire trains the dancers of the future as independent artists who combine an open, creative mind with professional skills, passion and ambition. The worldwide dance profession is constantly evolving and calls for self-assured dancers with a broad training, who practise their craft with dedication and discipline. This requires dancers who have mastered classical and modern techniques and can apply these to contemporary dance styles, techniques and influences. Our students train full-time in classical ballet, pointe technique for female students, jump technique for male students, physical training and modern dance. The students’ contribution of ideas, reflection and co-creation are all part of the work process, which is based on a strong foundation of academic dance. During training there is ample opportunity for students to get performing experience. Through performances, students learn to combine the techniques which are trained in the studios with the facets of the professional world. The curriculum includes an internship with a professional dance company or production company. The remarkable atmosphere of the Dance Department and the world of the professional theatre have ensured for more than 50 years that students can realise their dream.
