Copenhagen Contemporary Dance School

[sillysally]

Hi all,

 

My DD is in the fortunate but unexpected position of receiving an offer for the 3 year diploma programme at this contemporary school. Does anybody have any knowledge of the school? 

 

She is 16 and definitely has a flair for contemporary/modern dance. She is a strong classic dancer but her language is contemporary and her physique suits this too.  However, she is torn between continuing along classic route until 19 and then switching to contemporary.

 

Does anyone have any experience they can share??? I need help - this is beyond my mothering skills and sadly her dance school had no thoughts or advice.

 

Thanks for your help 🙂

I can't in any way comment on the school but I absolutely love Copenhagen!  I think it is a fabulous city.

 

I don't know about any funding you would get and what it would cover but when the £ plummeted a few years ago we found it an expensive city to visit.  Previously it had been cheaper for us to go to Copenhagen for a weekend of ballet watching than to go to London for the same!

 

What a wonderful position for your daughter to be in, whatever you finally decide.

Hi Janet, the city is lovely, but yes youre right it is expensive and funding is an issue 🤣

 

But I'd still like to find out some more about the school if anyone else has any experience of it.

Definitely check the funding - as we are not in the EU when I checked for music, we are considered rest of the world (ie ouch!)

 

Shame, it's a fantastic city.   I reckoned London +25% if self catering.

Hi, sorry to restart this thread, but I wondered if anyone has had any experience of this particular school, or could share any experiences of other contemporary/classical schools from age 16 in the UK or overseas. 
 

Thanks for your help ☺️

In the UK both Central and Rambert are excellent
