For more than 15 years, DanceHaus, thanks to its experience in the field of art education, has developed its own exclusive training method based on the study of technique, coupled with the experiences of both Special Projects
and Creative Weeks.
The mission is to provide its students with a personal expressive language of movement that will make them competitive in the working world on a European and international level.
THE SPECIAL PROJECTS
Parallel to the learning work, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in compositional work through self-directed workshops. At the end of the year, choreographic experiments are presented to the management and finally to the public.
In addition, thanks to the numerous collaborations DanceHaus can boast within the territory, students have the opportunity to participate in numerous extracurricular projects: video clips, fashion shows, site-specific performances and cultural events.
THE CREATIVE WEEKS
Creative weeks are artistic residencies involving renowned choreographers and second- and third-year DanceHaus Hip Hop Department students
Each year in February and March, Dancehaus invites artists and choreographers with the goal of creating and sharing a choreographic design with the students. At the end of each week, the dancers have the opportunity to show the result of the new teaching experience through final performances with the audience.
FORMATIVE CREDITS
During the three-year period, students are invited to cultivate and put into practice interdisciplinary skills linked to the world of entertainment and all its cultural aspects. They were established iformative credits to recognize extracurricular activities such as hospitality during shows, support for productions (lighting, costumes), organization of the library, support for the press office and communication.
