Faculty
-
Frédéric Olivieri – Director, Teatro alla Scala & Accademia Teatro alla Scala

Daily structure
-
1h30 classical ballet
-
1h pointe work or male technique

1h30 contemporary class led by the teachers of the choreographic intensives
The contemporary classes are taught by the same artists who then guide the choreographic workshops, allowing dancers to explore their movement language even if they will not take part of the intensive repertory sessions.
During this program, selected dancers may be awarded scholarships or invitations for direct access to partner academies, making this intensive a genuine pathway toward further professional training.
