Are there any dance specialist university's in Europe?

Question

I really want to do dance in University, but in the UK, there aren't any really good ones that specialize in things other than ballet and contemporary. Are there any dance specialist schools have really good dance departments in Europe that also teach jazz and hip hop other than the obvious ballet?

Answer 1

Ballet is a good basis for other dance forms. You'll find many if not most professional dancers gave a ballet background regardless of what style they do.



If you are aiming for a career in commercial/stage dance and don't want to do ballet, perhaps you should consider a vocational college course.



Youth Dance England have a careers leaflet http://www.yde.org.uk/main.cfm?type=CPDF&objectid=2563



Have a look at Dance Careers Day http://cdet.org.uk/articles/dance-careers-day/

Also see their info on accredited schools http://cdet.org.uk/professional-training/accredited-schools/



There is a magazine called Dance Europe - although it does look ballet dominated

and Dance Training in Europe http://www.dancetrainingeurope.eu/



You might need to research the dance form you really want to do and create your own training programme. With Uni costs being so high, that's not out of the question although you wouldn't end up with a degree.



If you want to move into teaching and do need a degree, you could look at community dance

Answer 2

Find a tuition that is related to a tuition here in america in order that your degree can convert. St. Louis college has a campus in Madrid you can follow straight to, but then you've gotten an American measure if you find yourself completed which is worthy, no matter the place you want to work. The American Universities are also a good choice, there's the American tuition in Paris and there are just a few others. The college of Dallas works with a institution in Rome, but I do not know if you can apply straight to that institution and convert your measure or not. Excellent luck :)

Are you certain that there isn't a modern/jazz based course in this lot? If not, maybe try the same site for europe.

Good luck.
