Step into an immersive dance experience that combines conservatory-style training with the freedom and inspiration of a study abroad semester. The Semester in Dance at Accademia dell’Arte offers a rigorous, interdisciplinary approach that supports both technical mastery and bold creative exploration.

Under the direction of Choreographer and Dance Program Coordinator Alessio Trevisani, and in collaboration with a faculty of acclaimed European-based artists, you’ll engage deeply with contemporary techniques, somatic practices, and composition labs that foreground experimentation and individual expression.

Designed in partnership with Professor Karen Dearborn of Muhlenberg College, the program follows a 15-credit curriculum that blends dance training with insights from Theatre, Philosophy, Music, and Visual Arts.

Set on the vibrant Villa Godiola campus, the program invites you to live and work within a close-knit artistic community, where the boundaries between studio, classroom, and daily life dissolve. Through collaboration and critique, challenge and support, you’ll refine your craft, expand your perspective, and build the tools to thrive in today’s complex world of performance.
