ICD - INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY DANCE PROGRAM
The International Contemporary Dance Program (ICD) at NOD embraces the diverse contributions of contemporary dance. Rather than rigidly separating different styles, our approach encourages their exploration and comparison. Through the distinctive practice of rotating teachers/artists on a weekly basis, students not only broaden their repertoire but also work towards uncovering and refining their individual styles and strengths.
ICD offers you the opportunity to become part of an international network through an experience that leaves its mark and prepares you to begin your pre-professional journey.
The program is open to dance students aged 18 and up, with a strong contemporary and ballet technique, classes will be open to a maximum of 25 pre-selected dancers from around the world.
The ICD program allows the opportunity to choose the length of your participation:
-
1 Academic year program ( 10 months from August to June )
-
1 trimester ( 3 months choice of first, second and third trimester )
-
Single sessions with a teacher
Schedule:
-
From Monday to Friday - ICD: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm
