The transition from student to professional dancer is an important moment. Taking time to enrich and deepen one’s artistic background and understand one’s inclination among the disciplines of dance is critical to launching one’s career.
Choreia is a 9-month intensive program aimed at dancers between the ages of 18 and 30 who wish to embark on a path of professional development in classical and contemporary dance, not only from a technical but also an expressive point of view.
Choreia (choral dance) for the Greeks was the perfect fusion of words, melody and body movements.
The program offers a range of technical, cultural and exchange prompts between students, teachers and choreographers, with the aim of being able to identify the style, technique, and attitude most congenial to oneself and strengthen it. Sharing the dancing training in the studio with teachers and choreographers active on the national and international scene is intended to give the concrete experience of a professional Dance Company.

- aimed at dancers with previous training, ages 18-30 years old
