At ArtEZ's Dance preparatory programme in Arnhem, young dancers in Year 7 and higher can combine school with professional contemporary dance training. This gives you a unique opportunity to be as prepared as possible for a post-secondary, professional-level dance programme.
The orientation class and preparatory programme in dance have the same goal: to develop your physical and mental skills as a dancer. Each week, you will receive lessons from a guest, a professional in the field of dance. This will introduce you to the many career opportunities in the dance profession. The lessons are tailored to your age, abilities and learning style. We will give you a solid foundation in various dance techniques. At the same time, you will learn to discover your own individual style and artistic identity in dance.
You will be introduced to the many career opportunities in the dance field: from performing dancer and choreographer to dance teacher and dance critic.
We focus on the healthy, natural development of your physical and mental abilities as a dancer, in accordance with your age and learning style.
The preparatory programme focuses primarily on contemporary dance, but also provides you with a solid foundation in several dance techniques. You also have the choice to develop your skills in other dance styles.
