Theoretical and practical knowledge are combined in an interconnected course structure that offers diverse chances to expand your own individual language as a choreographer.

The opportunity to be able to shape the artistic process with the approximately 150 students training to become dancers at the Palucca University of Dance Dresden is a unique one. These students are being successfully trained in not only ballet, but also in contemporary dance and improvisation.
