Programme

Dance Master Class in Italy offers a professionally staffed, comprehensive dance curriculum – which is uniquely coupled with intensive Italian or English language classes.

Whether you are in need of extra attention to reach the next level in your training, or interested in having fun in a dance class our encouraging faculty and renowned teachers specialize in helping you gain technical improvement and performance artistry.

We present Dance Experience Italian a valuable summer course which is held in Urbania, Italy and runs from 1st July to 12th August 2010. A program designed for dance students from the age of 14 and upwards who are of Intermediate and Advanced through to pre-professional levels. We are happy to accept slightly younger candidates provided they have reached the required standard and are accompanied by a responsible adult.

An Adult Program for the more mature dancer is also on offer and we are introducing Giovane Danza or Junior Dance.

Classes are structured for students who currently attend dance classes and have some knowledge of dance curriculum but who have not as yet reached the Intermediate level require for our Dance Experience Italian classes.

Our junior dance course is geared to dancers 6-12/13 years of age. Divided into two levels/ age groups, lessons are held each weekday and include ballet and/or jazz, plus the option of studying a language (English or Italian) if desired.

We invite younger dancers, individually and in groups, who are accompanied by supervisory accompanying adults and local students who do not require our accommodation.. These classes are also ideal for children of our Adult Course attendees.

The Adult Course is a fabulous opportunity for the more mature dancer to experience a taste of summer dance intensives. With fewer classes per day than in the DEI courses, the adult program runs weekdays and provides a fun way to improve muscle tone, flexibility and co-ordination as well as improving dance technique.

We specialise in three main dance disciplines: ballet, contemporary and jazz, coupled with the option of an intensive language course in either Italian or English.

Alongside daily technique classes dancers may also be coached in related disciplines including pointe, repertoire, partnering, variations and virtuosity. Dancers also participate in the choreographic workshops. These workshops will provide students with a valuable insight into the challenges of the choreographic process and will call upon each dancer’s unique input. Direct involvement in the creative process and personal interaction with our dedicated staff will encourage personal growth in both technical and artistic areas. Pointe-work is not a necessary requirement for the choreographic workshops and is therefore not a prerequisite on this programme.

We include a Theatre Course which culminates in a performance on Thursday 12th August 2010 at the beautiful Teatro Bramante. This part of the programme is dedicated to giving dancers a taste of working life and offering a valuable insight of what to expect if perhaps in a small company troupe on tour.
More performance opportunities may also available during the program.

We now limit the amount of candidates we accept in order that all students may benefit from more individual attention. Applications are received and reviewed on a first come first serve basis so REGISTER NOW!

Testimonials

"I had a great experience these last two weeks and I felt I had learned a lot and really enjoyed the programme, the dance classes were incredible and learning Italian was very interesting."

"In questi giorni di stage abbiamo conosciuto nuovi aspetti di noi e della danza: La capacità di osservare e utilizzar totali lo spazio e pensar all’importanza di ogni parte del proprio corpo. "

"I loved the diversity of the program. Each teacher brought their own views and experiences to the program. They were welcoming to all levels and made sure to explain things in different ways so to better fit different learning styles."

"Attending Dance Master Class was like having done a long journey. I am sastisfied of the classes and your professionalism. I might have liked having some more corrections during ballet classes but I have learned a lot anyway especially when I was reminded to practise and listen to the music! I was very impressed by your humanity and generosity as well. You work with heart and this makes me feel happy."

"The teachers are good and the choreographies are very nice, for those who are reaching "perfection" (if it exists) as well as those with a lower dance level and with less experience."
