Further education in dance to obtain a joint degree
Currently our higher education courses in dance are aimed at dancers of contemporary and jazz. We train our students to become state diploma teachers, who are aware of their responsibilities they will have to practise before they enter the professional world, the formation of a dancer’s body and the passing on of their art. The important activities of practical application and experimentation within teaching are carried out by our students in partnership with the national education, public arts teaching organisations and numerous private schools.
Over time, the PESMD Bordeaux Aquitaine (formerly CEFEDEM Aquitaine), has been used as an essential regional resource centre for dance. In its libraries and studios young students intersect, students of CRR, researchers, graduates of different ages, dancers, national and international choreographers, and great teachers and lecturers. It is within this atmosphere of dance and musical creativity that we wish to welcome you.

Dance Degree
The implementation of this dance degree, in partnership with the University of Bordeaux Montaigne, allows students interested in choreographic studies to learn theoretical tuition and gain the necessary methodological tools to build a foundation of fundamental knowledge and to deepen their understanding of this artistic domain, whilst complementing artistic and teacher training at the high level of the PESMD Bordeaux Aquitaine.
This curriculum is a joint dance degree and State Diploma for Dance Teacher which leads to two independent degrees, relating to two independent qualifications that are gained through specific and complementary assessments.
It is necessary to sign up twice: once to the University of Bordeaux Montaigne, and once to the PESMD Bordeaux Aquitaine. Gaining a dance degree without the state diploma does not authorise you for dance teaching, but in all cases it allows you to pursue masters studies.
The joint training has several advantages:
Unite your professional (State Diploma of Dance Teacher), and University training, a practical qualification and continued intellectual study.
Enrich your student dance studies by taking joint courses of research work… inter- discipline performances including music and dance, provided in other training such as music, and theatrical studies.
Develop and pursue your studies beyond the State Diploma with a professional masters or a doctorate, furthering and enriching your university dance research.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
Selective course, up to the full capacity of 30 students.
Joint Inscription with the University of Bordeaux Montaigne/PESMD Bordeaux Aquitaine is OBLIGATORY.
