WHAT IS SPECIFIC
[PROUDLY DIFFERENT]

A true unicum in dance training worldwide, the program is grounded in Loris Petrillo’s teaching methodology, developed and enriched through more than 25 years of experience.

Many of the dancers who have completed a training program under his direction have gone on to pursue professional careers in some of Europe’s most renowned companies.

Going far beyond the simple acquisition of techniques, the method draws on cross-disciplinary study and principles derived from humanistic medicine, philosophy, mathematics, physics and anatomy.

Not a style, nor a technique, but a results-driven physical training built on clear, progressive steps that prepare you to navigate the many languages of contemporary dance that exist today.

WHO IS SPECIFIC FOR?
For those who aspire to become strong, highly athletic and expressive dancers, at home in the diverse languages of contemporary dance today.

For those who are after concrete, tangible and recognisable results.

For those who identify with a physical and deeply expressive approach to dance

If this sounds like you, it’s time to audition

DURATION OF THE DANCE PROGRAM
SPECIFIC lasts 3 years and you can choose to attend 1, 2 or 3 years, with progressive opportunities and benefits.
In the season 2026/27, the program runs from September 2026 to May 2027.
