Our Program
Our program is a specific study- dance vacation for dance students and enthusiasts, aged 15 and over. And that’s not all. It is a proper combination that combines the study of dance and musical with a specific course of English, focusing on the terminology currently used in dance and entertainment.
The program, furthermore, offers the fantastic experience of living in the most fascinating and cosmopolitan city in the world and includes everything: air travel and airport transfers, accommodation, meals and courses, shows and leisure activities.
Our students can count on our presence, supervision and constant and assiduous assistance. We will be with them since when meeting at the aiport for departure from Italy, and for the entire duration of the stay, throught the return home. We manage, plan and organize our students days, their courses, provide them advice and suggestions in the choice of the dance techniques that best fits their skills.
Dance Classes & Workshops
New York is notoriously known to be as the “capital” of the dance. And the dance schools in New York are countless, with endless techniques taught.
But above all there is the utmost rigor and professionalism that makes these institutions the favorite destination not only of dance students but also of important and serious professionals who continue their “training” with the most famous “masters” of the world.
Thanks to the deep knowledge, not just only of the city but of the whole artistic and cultural environment of the “big apple”, we have selected for you the most prestigious and representative schools.
The dance classes included in the program are 20 and you can follow all of them in just one of the proposed schools or you can split your dance classes among the various schools (minimum of 5 classes for each school). Each class lasts 1 and a half hour, and you can freely chose and follow them throughout the day, depending on the technique and the level chosen.
The first afternoon of the course is dedicated to the visit of all the dance schools, so that you can have a clear view of the techniques and levels, and be able to make the right choices of the school that best fits for you.
At the end of the course each school will issue a certificate of attendance.

NYU/SPS/ALI – The American Language Institute
The NYU School of Professional Studies American Language Institute (ALI) provides a comprehensive program of English language instruction and evaluation. We foster an atmosphere where proactive learning precedes rote memorization.
AMERICAN ENGLISH AND THE PERFORMING ARTS
is a custom language program that has been structured by the Faculty of the American Language Institute in a targeted way to harmonize and optimize all the didactic activity of our programs.
The course will be highly oriented and more emphasis will be given to the oral understanding of the specific terminology of the dance, the learning of the language currently used in the dance lessons and musicals and in professional situations.
During the lessons the terminology of the various parts of the body involved in the movement and composition of dance steps, vocal intonation and acting will be examined.
Musical texts will be studied, deepening their reading, intonation, diction and exact pronunciation
The course also includes lectures on the history of modern and contemporary dance and the Musical Theatre in general.
The course will be held two days a week: Monday and Wednesday, from 9 to 12, for a total of 18 hours.
On the last day of the course the certificates of attendance will be delivered.
