Programme per year
In the first year, you will gain a solid foundation in dance and movement, followed by the main phase in years two and three and, finally, the graduation phase in year four. Each year is made up of four 9-week periods, with a transition week in between.
Dance Practice: Over four periods, you will develop your skills in several kinds of different dance styles, such as Contemporary Dance, Physical Dynamics, Improvisation, Ballet and Hip Hop. In Dance in Context, you will immerse yourself in different subjects based on dance history, dance analysis and reflection on dance. In addition, you will study Knowledge of the Physical Aspects of Dance.
Learning Practice: Each week, you will participate in Learning Lab, Makerslab and Community. You will also take classes in Dance Education Research and design your own programme in a Free Space.
Artistic Practice: In year 1, you will take Artistic Practices 1-4. They are:
1. The professional field of the Artisteducator: Engaging in design, entrepreneurship and research within the landscape of the Artisteducator in practice;

Dance Practice: From the main phase onwards, you get to shape your own learning pathway in dance. Four times a year, you will choose the dance forms where you want to continue your development.

Your final year is all about your graduation. There is a prominent role for two Artistic Practices, which are focused on you in your future professional practice. Who are you as an artisteducator? What position will you take in the professional field? What are you going to do and who will you focus on? How will you put your vision and ambitions as an artisteducator in dance into practice? You will address these questions in Artistic Practices:
13. Positioning as an artisteducator;
14. Profile as an artisteducator.
