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.
