EBB PROFESSIONAL DANCE PROGRAM AUDITIONS

ELEPHANT IN THE BLACK BOX, in collaboration with renowned international choreographers, is thrilled to announce auditions for its Full-year Professional Dance Training Programs in its centers in Madrid and Pau (France) for next season 2024/2025. Our programs include stage practices and choreographic creation and provide young dancers with a unique opportunity to enhance their training, explore new creative perspectives, and collaborate with globally acclaimed choreographers.

Both of our centers are held under the artistic direction of choreographer Jean Philippe Dury, a former dancer of the Opéra de Paris, Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, and its programs emphasizes practical stage experience and the study of repertoire under the guidance of international collaborators.

Although the programs at both centers are similar, please consider the following guidelines when choosing your center:

For France:
France supports dancers aspiring to work in both classical and contemporary repertoire. Our program is tailored to nurture versatile dancers passionate about both traditional and modern dance forms.

Programs:
EBB JUNIOR FRANCE + Official Choreographic Studies Diploma (DEC) / Full year
EBB JUNIOR FRANCE (Without DEC) / Full year or 6 months option

For Spain:
Spain supports dancers wishing to pursue careers exclusively in contemporary dance and with companies focused on contemporary choreography. Our program is designed for those with a strong dedication to the modern and innovative aspects of the dance world.
