Every semester we invite a guest artists to teach and also set work on our students. Performances ranging from informal studio showings to full evening theater presentations take place several times a year.

Our dance program is small, yet international and of high quality. The students benefit from individual attention from our faculty, and incoming exchange students find it easy to integrate socially into student life.
Our excellent facilities, located in beautiful Bjergsted Park, include three large dance studios, a black box and a small concert hall, as well as a performing arts library, cantina, and sauna.
