DNSP DANCER
The dancers’ curriculum at PNSD Rosella Hightower aligns the connection between initial training and higher education with an equal focus on excellence, aiming for professionalisation.
Our wide artistic spectrum relies on the complementarity of both classical and contemporary techniques to train versatile dancers capable of adapting to the modern-day choreographic world.
Our main objective is professional integration with a strong emphasis on international openness. In order to achieve such an objective, PNSD Rosella Higtower has developed close and continuous links with the professional world regionally, nationally and internationally.
PNSD Rosella Hightower places great importance on the health of young dancers, integrating health considerations into its curriculum and infrastructure.
