Graduate Program
About our Graduate Program
Dance Co is proud to extend our world-class dance education to post-secondary dancers, teachers, and choreographers with the introduction of our new Graduate Training Program (GTP).
Within the walls of Dance Co East Van (Fraser & 41 St.), a newly restored studio haven, Dance Co’s Graduate Training Program provides students with the tools and opportunities to succeed in the professional dance world in performance, teaching, and/or choreography endeavours. Note: Select GTP courses will be available at our spacious Arbutus facility, schedule dependent.
Open to students with advanced pre-professional training, Dance Co’s intensive program allows dancers to focus on their desired concentration while continuing to enhance their artistry and technical mastery.
Dance Co’s Graduate Training Program offers students a well-rounded technical and pedagogical foundation with a focus on deep and formative teaching practices. The training program also provides students with invaluable performance opportunities making Dance Co’s GTP a beneficial investment for emerging young artists and current dance teachers looking for elevated professional dance exposure.
