“In song and dance man expresses himself as a member of a higher community: he has forgotten how to walk and speak and is on the way toward flying up into the air, dancing.”
Friedrich Nietzsche 1844-1900

Those who come to study at the Accademia will combine an intensive Italian language program and academic studies with a semester or 4-6 weeks (Summer) of high level training in the arts. Our commitment is to approach the notion of artist in a holistic and comprehensive manner, combining rigorous technical training with the aim of achieving an overall synergy of skills that will help to develop students both professionally and personally.
