Contemporary Dance in Europe

Amplify your dance training and jump into the 2026 Contemporary Dance Study Abroad, presented by the BYU Department of Dance. Throughout the five-week summer program, participants will take classes and attend performances from a dynamic roster of instructors at major international contemporary dance organizations and festivals in cities such as London, Amsterdam, Bern, and Vienna. Students will discover Europe’s dynamic cultural arts scene and be immersed in cutting edge global trends. This program is specifically designed to challenge students’ movement skills and capacities; broaden artistic philosophies, aesthetics, and perspectives; enlarge pedagogical praxis and teaching methods; network with international trailblazers and experts in the field; cultivate covenant belonging; and strengthen spirituality. Ideal candidates are open-minded movers driven to explore dance as art, education, entertainment, activism, and human inquiry. This is more than a study abroad—it's an invitation to join a living, global conversation in contemporary dance and beyond.
