Dance in Paris is a 30-day immersive and curated study abroad program designed to explore dance in Paris and the broader French culture. Participants have ample opportunities to explore the language and other notable Parisian art forms such as painting, sculpture, architecture, fashion, and gastronomy.
Dance in Paris helps cultivate students’ understanding of themselves as artists navigating the dance profession internationally. Participants will take two courses, Dance Technique, and Dance Film. The course offerings are curated to expose young artists to highly-regarded international master teachers at rigorous dance studios and professional training centers. Students explore new perspectives of capturing dance on film and learn to expand their artistic vision of designing movement for Dance Film.
Each course offers excursions to augment the goals and objectives of each class. Students are immersed in the Parisian dance concert scene with performances at Opéra National de Paris, Théâtre Paris-Villette, and Théâtre National du Chaillot, and a closing burlesque performance and dinner at the renowned Crazy Horse. Additionally, students will explore Centre Pompidou and Musée de la Cinematheque Française and take a historical walking tour of Montmartre and Sacre Coeur while enjoying a beautiful view overlooking the city of Paris.
All participants have multiple opportunities to co-create their artistic experience and foster self-development and personal exploration in “The City of Light.” The Dance in Paris program is a unique opportunity perfect for students seeking to explore and expound their dance experience in an international landscape.
