Session Description

We offer a special curricular concept for our students, geared toward the complex requirements of the modern professional field. The training is divided into two levels. The foundation study programme is completed alongside compulsory education. Entry into the foundation study programme is at the age of 11 or 12, from secondary level I. This is followed by the advanced study programme, the bilingual professional training at 15 and 16 years old. This leads to the “Stage Dancer EFZ” Federal Certificate of Proficiency in Classical Dance, a professional qualification accredited by the Swiss Confederation. Zurich Dance Academy is affiliated with a boarding school with a professional staff, which offers our young students a place to live and a home away from home.
