Description

At the Royal Danish Ballet School the apprentice program corresponds to the last three years of education to become a professional ballet dancer. Students receive intensive ballet training, along with compulsory academic education at Falkonergårdens Gymnasium & HF. The curriculum includes ballet technique, traditional classical repertoire, pas de deux, pointe technique for girls, contemporary ballet, physical training, mental coaching, anatomy, nutrition, pilates, performance skills and dance at level B (academic HF-course). All throughout the season, the students take part in several performances, tours and events, including productions as corps de ballet members in the Royal Danish Ballet. Every morning, the students attend their academic classes in high school, and join the theatre in the afternoon. Training takes place every day from Monday to Saturday. At the end of the program, students graduate from the School at the same time as they finish their high school education. During the last year of the program it is possible to attend auditions at other companies.
