Ballettschule des Hamburg Ballett

The School of the Hamburg Ballet, founded by John Neumeier in 1978, is one of the leading schools for a professional dance education in Europe and is committed to developing young, creative artists. The syllabus aims to prepare students for the versatile requirements of the current dance world. Based on the classical ballet technique, including pointe, pas de deux, classical and contemporary variations, and the study of John Neumeier repertoire, modern dance and choreographic composition are also integral to the program. The training is supplemented by character dance, Pilates and strengthening classes, as well as theory lessons. This visionary dance education is aimed towards developing artists, while preparing students for work in a professional company, either in Germany or abroad.
