Admission Process HF ZUB
"The study program offered by Tanzwerk facilitates me to take those aspects I enjoy most in dancing into working as a professional dancer. It provides the space and time to develop a personal dance language and helps one to make the step to become a professional dancer. As a dancer, I am always seeking new ways to express myself. In combining different styles and dance cultures, one constantly gets to make new connections and approaches. These aspects are shaping one into a versatile dancer. They provide the chance to explore what possibilities one has in making a career as a dancer. It means a lot to me that there is a school that provides these aspects of dance. Hence I give my great thanks and appreciation to the teachers and the school. I am looking forward to continuing working and studying." Luis Filipe
