Individual supervision and personal support

The dance education at Palucca University of Dance Dresden can begin at the age of ten in a secondary school integrated into the university, which includes a comprehensive school education with a secondary school diploma. Interdisciplinarity, working in partnership and life long learning are important starting points for the complete dance education. The curriculum is based on the three pillars of Ballet, Contemporary/Modern Dance and Improvisation. The aim is to find a common approach that breaks down the barriers between these different techniques. Throughout the whole study, the three pillars will be further developed, supported by a broad selection of supplementary subjects. The combination of theory and practice enables the students to develop into independent, creative thinking people who contribute themselves creatively to various professional situations and creative processes.
