Description

Paris is one of the most exciting cities for a student of dance to study both technique and dance history. The city is filled with history of collaborations between dance artists and visual artists as well as the influence of American dance artists who lived and thrived in Paris. Dance in Paris is designed to immerse the dance enthusiast in a unique program of study combining technique classes at various dance académies and conservatoires in Paris with a course in special topics related to dance history and cultural sites.

The Academie Americaine de Danse de Paris (AADP), under the direction of Brooke Desnoes, will partner with the FSU School of Dance to provide a home-base for the FSU Dance in Paris Study Abroad program. Located in the heart of Paris, FSU students will have the opportunity to take technique classes at AADP and interact with the school's students and distinguished faculty. Over the course of four weeks, students will also explore "open dance classes" throughout Paris.

The Dance in Paris experience will be enhanced with topics in dance history including 16th and 17th ballet history, the Impressionists with emphasis on artists inspired by dancers, the Diaghilev period (1909-1929) and American artists - Josephine Baker, Loie Fuller and Isadora Duncan who lived in Paris for extended periods and greatly influenced 20th Century dance history. To complement each of these areas of study, possible site visits will be conducted at the Paris Opera Ballet School in Nanterre, the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique and Danse, a dress rehearsal at the Moulin Rouge and a performance of the Paris Opéra Ballet at the Palais Garnier. Museum sites include Versailles, Musee de l'Orangerie, Musée D'Orsay and the Centre Pompidou. Both guided and self guided tours will further explore the role of dance history in Paris.
