Introduction
"The School of Contemporary Dancers' programs are vitally important to the discipline and to the Canadian artistic community." Canadian Heritage Assessor
The School of Contemporary Dancers is recognized as a leading national centre for professional contemporary dance training in Canada. The School’s Professional Program is renowned across the country for the excellence of it’s training methods and high calibre of its students and graduates.
The Professional Program of The School of Contemporary Dancers is a four-year professional training program for dancers seeking a career in contemporary dance performance. The Fourth-Year of the Program is a special bridging year from the professional student to the professional emerging artist level. Fourth-Year dancers are given opportunities to connect with the professional community and to undertake professional projects.
The Professional Program, while maintaining its autonomy, has undertaken an affiliation with the University of Winnipeg whereby students may elect to receive up to 14 credits for their work in the Program. Upon completion of 6 additional non-dance academic credits, students are eligible for a BA (Honours) Degree with specialization in Dance. These additional credits may be undertaken concurrently during the years within the Professional Program. Independent of university credits, all dancers who successfully complete the four-year Program achieve the status and designation of Graduate of the Professional Program of the School of Contemporary Dancers.
The Professional Program of The School of Contemporary Dancers gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Manitoba Arts Council and the City of Winnipeg through the Winnipeg Arts Council.
