The SENECA INTENSIV Dance Educational Year is a state-recognized, 10-month dance program in Berlin, designed as a professional pre-vocational dance course and orientation year. As a specialized dance academy, we bridge the gap between advanced hobbyist levels and the professional dance scene. In this intensive dance program, you will deepen your daily physical practice in contemporary dance, classical techniques, improvisation, and composition.
Our interdisciplinary movement school specifically prepares you for state entrance examinations (auditions) at international arts universities. The training year concludes with a professional stage performance as part of the KONDENSAT showcase, where both your own choreographic work and repertoire from international guest choreographers are presented.
Our studios are located in Berlin Marzahn (Georg-Knorr-Straße). The dance school is conveniently located about 8 minutes on foot from Marzahn S-Bahn station.
