BAdance program, Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts

The BAdance program at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts is an eight-semester course of study leading to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) academic degree. Coursework is taught in both German and English by an experienced, international faculty and invited guest artists. In addition to ballet and contemporary dance techniques, students take courses in body knowledge and perception, improvisation, partnering, floor-barre®, pointe, stamina   , and repertoire  , while studying applied anatomy, dance studies , and music theory. To support and nurture their artistic growth, critical reflection and the dynamic relationship between practice and theory are central components of the education. The program is innovatively supported by a health coordinator and a network of medical professionals.  Performance practice is also emphasized. Students develop new creations with internationally renowned choreographers throughout the academic year and have opportunities to make and share their own work. Active partnership with the Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company and exploration of William Forsythe’s choreographic legacy are central to the program.  Graduates possess the tools, network, and experience to flourish as dance professionals and to bring innovative, socially responsible change to the dance field as a whole.

No tuition fees are charged for this program; however, a semester contribution (currently €339.38) is required. Online Registration: January 15 – April 1, 2026. Live Auditions (upon invitation): June 12 – 13, 2026.
