02What is inside

What the program includes

This is not a set of classes but a season with a timetable, assessments and stage work. Here is what it is made of.

Core

Technique several times a week

Contemporary and jazz technique, turns, jumps, flexibility, and work on line and body control.

Assessment

Regular assessments

Technique and progress measured against the system's levels, with a plain-language summary for parents.

Stage

Showcases and productions

Performances spread across the year, not one report concert at the end of the season.

Practice

Masterclasses

Guest artists and choreographers, plus intensives during the season.

Creative

Shoots and projects

Photo and video shoots, staged numbers and collaborations with professional artists.

Competition

Competitions and festivals

A number prepared and taken to competition. Participation is agreed between teacher and family, never required.

City

City events

Appearances at Dubai cultural events — stage time beyond the studio.

Certificate

CID certificate

For those completing an extended program — a certificate confirming training hours, recognised abroad.

03Stage

Stage is part of the training, not a prize for it

Children perform regularly, from the first year on. That, rather than talk about confidence, is what makes confidence real: familiar nerves, a familiar hall, familiar work.

Some students are chosen for special creative projects and collaborations — not by seniority, but by readiness.

Where it leads

IDC students have collected more than a thousand awards at international competitions and festivals.

Some teachers are members of CID, the International Dance Council under UNESCO. Students on extended programs may receive CID certificates confirming their training hours — useful when applying to specialist schools abroad.

A professional career is not the required outcome. Posture, stamina, discipline and the ability to hold a room stay regardless.

04Entry

How to get in

The audition is not an exam and not a filter for the «unsuitable». It is a session where the teacher sees your child's level and finds the group where they will be both challenged and comfortable.

01

You apply

The form at the bottom of this page takes two minutes. We reply on WhatsApp the same day.

02

We invite you

We confirm a date and time, tell you what to bring and how to find the studio.

03

The session

40 minutes in the studio: warm-up, a short combination, stretching. We send the decision and a group recommendation within three days.

What the audition looks at

  • Coordination and body control
  • Flexibility and physical readiness
  • Musicality and sense of rhythm
  • How quickly a child picks up a combination
  • Focus and willingness to work

And if they are not selected?

It is not a rejection. Your child joins the Foundation Program, which is exactly where the base is built, and auditions again in six months. That is how most of our strongest students arrived — not on the first try.

05Practical

Timetable, kit, fees

The exact days depend on the group, and the group depends on your child's level. So we send the timetable and the price list after the audition, along with a recommendation — that way you compare real options rather than a range.

  • FrequencySeveral times a week, set by level
  • KitA top or leotard, leggings, hair tied back, socks or ballet flats
  • FeesOn request — depends on program and number of classes
  • Make-upsIn a parallel group of a suitable level when there is space
  • ParentsWait in the MUHA MUSIC area; progress is shown at open classes and showcases
