CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Dance & Culture in London

London is home to historic theaters and internationally renowned dance companies like the Royal Ballet and London Contemporary Dance School. Here, dance reflects a rich mix of influences, from classical ballet and contemporary to styles shaped by London’s multicultural communities. With fellow Global Navigators, collaborate to choreograph and perform an original piece, weaving together lessons in the studio with experiences abroad.

Train five to six hours daily in classical forms tailored for different levels. Participate in foundational courses led by British instructors on composition, repertory and England’s vast heritage in the performing arts.

Connect with local teens as you explore the city’s public parks, squares and bustling street stalls serving favorite dishes. On excursions, travel to Stratford-upon-Avon for a taste of Shakespearean theatre and Oxford, home to the world’s oldest English-speaking institution. Your time in London will combine world-class dance training with cultural discovery in one of the world’s great cultural hubs.
