Our ISVP Professional Semester is the international counterpart of our elite Professional Semester, providing the same comprehensive training to international students. Train alongside New York City’s best dancers, and emerge as a fiercely competitive professional both here in the US and abroad.
This 4-month course is the ideal option for advanced international dancers, ages 18-27, looking to launch their professional careers. Our comprehensive syllabus includes multi-disciplinary technique classes, practical seminars to educate you on the industry, mock auditions to provide real-world experience, and numerous networking opportunities to secure your footing as a working artist.
BDC has sought the input of countless industry professionals in crafting this powerful program designed to maximize your time with us and offer you every tool and skill you’ll need to succeed.
Here are some of the elements that make up this comprehensive full-time program:
