Dance Journey program is perfect for dancers and dance students from across the world who are looking for a top-level pre-professional dance program in order to advance their future career as a professional dancer. The program provides an excellent stepping stone and platform to advance on a highly-professional caliber with the goal to take you to the next level. Participants of the program are either in their gap year between high school and university, with the possibility of obtaining his DEC with the collaboration of the conservatory of Pau (degree in dance), in the midst of a dance academy program, have graduated from such a program, or have not studied dance in a secondary education level and are seeking a springboard into a career in dance. The program also allows dancers to spend the semester studying dance abroad in France which continues to be one of the leading regions and forces in the international contemporary dance scene and where some of the best professional networking and connections can take place. Dancers who are currently enrolled in a university dance program or dance academy can also earn course accreditation while studying with us. The curriculum of the program is heavily focused on contemporary and Classical dance along with EBB DANCE Company repertoire, but at the same time participants generally warm up with ballet daily and work with teachers, choreographers, and company dancers who offer a multitude of classes and diversity between choreography, floorwork, improvisation, pas de deux and more....
