The Swedish National Ballet School is a âregularâ secondary school ranging from the years 4-9 (ages 9/10-15/16) incorporated with Swedenâs vocational dance education all under one roof!
The students study compulsory school academic subjects such as mathematics, Swedish and English in small classes in keeping with the Swedish school system. The students do not have subjects such as art, crafts or sports but instead study a number of dance subjects.
In addition to their compulsory academic subjects, all students have classical ballet, modern contemporary dance, pilates, strength training, acrobatics, character dance, commercial and street dance as well as drama and dance theory on their schedule.
The purpose of the ballet schoolâs education is for our students to acquire the required technical skills and artistic expressiveness to become a professional dancer by the age of 17.
