Best Dance Schools around the World

Home / Uncategorized / Best Dance Schools around the World

Dance is a craft taken very seriously my many. Like any artist, dancers work for years and years at their craft, moving from one school to the next. While there are many incredible dance schools throughout the world, a few remain at the very top.

These schools are prestigious and challenging to get into. Only the best of the absolute best make it in. Plus, when a student gets accepted, the hardest parts are only yet to come. But even though it’s a challenge, being part of a well-known dance school can make or break one’s career. Keep reading to learn more about some of the most esteemed dance schools today.

Skidmore College

Perhaps a lesser known school by the non-dancers of the world, Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York has a reputation as one of the best. This liberal arts college boasts 2 Dance Degree programs and 2,500 students total. The school may be small and suburban, but that just means more time for one-on-one critiques and strong bonds between students and teachers.

Let's Work Together!

Located in what is arguably known as the classical arts hub of the world, Paris Opéra Ballet School is where classical dance first emerged. The school is also famous historically. In fact, the school’s founding father, Louis XIV, “promulgated the decree that officially created the « Ballet Conservatoire »,” according to the school’s official website. The Paris Opera Ballet School is undoubtedly one of the best ever dance schools.

Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet

Established in 1738 in St. Petersburg, Russia, the competition at this dance academy is fierce. According to Wikipedia, nearly 3,000 perspective students audition for the academy every year, with a mere 60 students accepted at the same rate. Needless to say, you have to be seriously talented and committed to the craft in order to earn your place at this top-notch dance academy.

Brent Street Schools

Brent Street School in Australia is one of the leading modern dance schools in the world. Although the school may be a newcomer to the scene, having been established just 30 years ago, it is considered Australia’s leading performing arts training center. Combing dance, singing and acting, you have to be a triple threat to thrive here. In addition, Brent Street offers workshops, camps and a Spring intensive for the budding musical theater star.

While the above listed schools are no doubt prestigious, there’s plenty more where that came from. From England to Ireland to Austria and more, dance offers plenty of opportunity to see the world, all while developing great technique and work ethic.

Plus, you don’t have to attend the top schools in the world to be good and successful at your craft. At the end of the day, what it really takes is hard work, dedication, and genuine passion. Of course, there’s always a bit of luck mixed in there too. Regardless, if you know that dance is what you love doing, taking the risk of rejection is always worth it. You never know where you might end up.
