At SCD we teach our students how to work in a professional company environment. The dancers learn skills and techniques to absorb the style and language of the choreographer and embody their movements and be one step ahead of the other applicants. There is so much more to career preparation than just perfecting steps. Our program offers very specific training to work in a choreographic way and gain the skills to contribute to the choreographic process.
Overseas Tours - We organise overseas tours for students who would like to apply for international schools and audition for companies. We will help students to build their own professional network with directors and choreographers which will increase their chances for a successful start into their career.
