ACADEMIC COURSES
The classical ballet academic courses are structured to train both professional and excellent amateur dancers, with the aim of starting students for an artistic-professional career or provide students with a solid technical basis for other artistic expressions, such as contemporary dance, jazz dance, etc.
They are regulated in such a way as to allow pupils enrolled in elementary, middle and upper secondary schools to attend them. Their structure, courses of study, study and examination programs are similar to those adopted in the main international dance academies.
