OUR MISSION
Our mission is to cultivate new professionals specializing in dance, performance, choreography, and dance creation through technical and theoretical study, intensive residencies with guest teachers, and extracurricular experiences in the worlds of fashion, culture, and entertainment.
Alongside their studies, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in compositional work by presenting their own choreographic experiments to the audience and professionals, taking part in stimulating opportunities for visibility.
AN INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT
The focus on developing a personal poetic approach makes this course an international concept study program. Its international character is reflected not only in the program itself, but also in the desire for dialogue and openness towards the growing number of foreign students, thanks to the partnership with EurAsia Dance Project.
One aspect that has distinguished our school's concept since its foundation is the need to create a lively and continuous exchange between students, the languages of dance, and their application in different areas of art. For this reason, the Academy employs a highly qualified and diverse teaching staff from the worlds of dance, theater, and the performing arts.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COMMUNITY
Dancehaus is a crossroads for choreographers, teachers, students, artists, and creatives from all over Europe and the world. Openness, sharing, belonging, but also fun and enthusiasm are just some of the characteristics of our community that allow its members to express their creativity in a professional performance context.
STUDENTS ON STAGE
During the academic year, Dancehaus offers students the opportunity to gain professional experience in the world of dance by participating in external events such as music videos, creative weeks, and artistic residencies. This allows dancers to immediately experience the professional world of performance, enabling them to develop solid performing and artistic skills.
THE VALUE OF THE DIPLOMA
Since 2022, DanceHaus is an accredited institution for professional training services, registered with the Lombardy Region under no. 1274. It is therefore able to award the Regional Diploma of Professional Dancer at the end of the three-year course, reaching EQF level 4.
The diploma issued is recognized by the European Community and gives graduates the opportunity to enter the world of work with a valuable certification.
The Lombardy Region's skills certification system is regulated by the State-Regions Agreement and refers to the EQF system, an objective Community reference framework designed to relate the national qualification systems and frameworks of the participating countries.
CULTURAL OFFERINGS
Thanks to numerous partnerships, Dancehaus students have the opportunity to enjoy all the cultural offerings that the city of Milan has to offer, such as theater, dance, festivals, and numerous exclusive live events.
In addition, the Exister season of shows and performances organized by the DANCEHAUSpiù National Dance Production Center allows students to attend and immerse themselves in the world of young Italian dance.
Participation in these cultural events, combined with the study of theoretical subjects, is a key element of Dancehaus students' training and allows them to develop personal critical thinking and a comprehensive view of art, dance, and the world of entertainment.
