Hochschule für Musik und Theater München, Ballett-Akademie

The Ballet Academy of the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich (HMTM), founded in 1995 by Konstanze Vernon and directed by Prof. Jan Broeckx since 2010, is the only state-run training institution
for stage dance in Bavaria. Around 40-50 students in the Bachelor’s program in Dance and about 70 young students are trained in the Vaganova method as well as in national dance, contemporary dance, choreography, dance history, and dance medicine. Since 2020, a holistic educational concept has shaped the Academy’s work. Together with the Bavarian State Ballet and the Heinz Bosl Foundation, the Academy runs the Bavarian Junior Ballet Munich as a bridge to a professional company.
