ICD – International Contemporary Dance Training Program

The ICD Program is a pre-professional contemporary dance training program designed for dancers who are ready to deepen their technical and artistic skills while engaging with a wide range of contemporary movement practices.

ICD offers participants the opportunity to work closely with guest artists and choreographers from leading European and international dance companies. Each week introduces a different movement language, repertory, or pre-existing choreographic material, challenging dancers to adapt to diverse qualities, approaches, and technical demands.

Rather than rigidly separating styles, the ICD Program embraces the diversity of contemporary dance. Participants are encouraged to explore, compare, and embody different artistic languages, developing versatility, adaptability, and a strong professional foundation.

The program welcomes up to 25 dancers (18+), with a strong background in contemporary dance and ballet, ready to move into the next stage of their professional development.

Program Structure:

– Weekly and biweekly classes with rotating guest artists
– Each guest artist brings a distinct movement practice, repertory, or choreographic material
