DAF has redefined in Italy the parameters of advanced dance education, establishing an international professional training program whose structure, artistic density and level of integration have generated a new standard for the development of the contemporary dancer.

Recognized by artists, choreographers and directors around the world, DAF represents a unique educational system in Italy, where daily practice, choreographic creation, somatic awareness, international artistic exchange, theatre experience and concrete professional opportunities converge within the same formative architecture.

DAF does not consider training as the simple transmission of techniques, but as a complex process of construction, awareness and projection toward the professional world. Its vision aims to elevate the quality of the dancer’s life project through a deep understanding of the practices, strategies and experiences that can support a healthy, rich and balanced artistic process.

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗙𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠

A complete training program based on the analytical study of different contemporary dance languages within the international scene. Daily practice combines an in-depth and rigorous study of classical technique, contemporary training and new creations by guest artists from all over the world.

The study of ballet is conceived as a daily and essential foundation for the construction of a technically aware, physically organized and artistically versatile dancer. Alongside this rigorous classical structure, the program opens the dancer to the most advanced currents of contemporary research and to the constant presence of artists who enter the system as new authorial voices, expanding its artistic vocabulary and its international perspective.

The program is conceived as an immersive path in which dancers are exposed to different methodologies, artistic identities and creative processes, developing technical strength, autonomy, intelligence and artistic responsibility.

𝗗𝗔𝗙 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧

DAF NEXT is one of the most advanced postgraduate programs internationally.

The program is structured around the staging of 6 new creations by 6 different choreographers, offering students an experience very close to the professional life of an artist within theatres and companies.

Within DAF NEXT, the daily and in-depth study of classical technique remains a structural axis of the program, supporting the dancer’s physical precision, technical organization and professional adaptability. This foundation is placed in constant dialogue with the most advanced contemporary practices and with the research of international choreographers, whose presence introduces new authorial voices into the educational and creative system.

A growing network of national and international collaborations with theatres and professional companies allows DAF to support each student in the transition toward the professional world.

At the same time, DAF believes it is essential to support and promote the desire of freelance artists to keep discovering, nurturing and giving value to their own human and artistic expectations.

DAF NEXT offers an international network of artists to young dancers who are ready to express their need for discovery, research and artistic growth.
