Program Pillars

From September to June, each course offers 10 months of training.

First year

The first year dancers refine a solid existing technical and artistical technique in dance while exploring their emotional development. The curriculum emphasizes body awareness and strength. Dancers also engage in improvisation and composition, allowing them to unleash their creativity.

Second year

In the second year, an investigative attitude is introduced to the program while they continue to refine their technique. By the end of the year, dancers become more aware of their own relationship to the possibilities of physical and emotional expression. Composition tasks, repertoire study, theatre, and emotional research are essential components that help dancers understand and trust their growth process, including a choreography residency with international choreographers.

Third year 

The aim of the third year is to enable students to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout the program in a practical setting. This year focuses on an artistic residency format, where students collaborate with various choreographers, engage in internships, and concentrate on individual creation and professional activities.

In a typical week Monday to Friday, depending on the level, dancers train for about 6.5 hours a day, either in morning or afternoon shifts. Some weeks are dedicated exclusively to classes taught by our core staff, while others focus on workshops, creations, rehearsals, or preparing for performances. Every student takes part in productions, collaborating with various choreographers to deepen their experience.

Our program offers not only high-quality technical training but also personalized coaching and mentoring. We are committed to the holistic development of each dancer—artistically, physically, and emotionally. Through one-on-one guidance, we help students become independent and well-rounded dancers, nurturing both their creative spirit and personal growth.

We offer monthly week-long workshops, as well as master classes with renowned international guests, providing our dancers with the opportunity to further develop their skills.

As part of our commitment to nurturing artistic excellence, we host several creation processes with various choreographers, allowing for longer-format projects.

At ADDA, we have created a positive and supportive environment, a place where dancers can grow both as artists and individuals. We are committed to providing a nurturing space where students feel encouraged, motivated, and well-cared for. We believe that a positive atmosphere is essential for creativity and personal development. By fostering an environment of mutual respect and encouragement, dancers are free to explore their potential, push their boundaries, and gain confidence in their abilities. ADDA is a place where dancers can challenge themselves and collaborate with others.
