About this opportunity
The Dance Education: Target Groups & Exchange program is a 12-week specialization training designed for dance teachers, focusing on diversity and inclusion in dance education. Participants will explore how professional dance lessons can be adapted to various age groups and physical requirements, ranging from children to seniors. The program emphasizes the integration of didactics, methodology, and reflection to understand how physical and psychological factors influence learning success. The ultimate goal is to develop practical tools for inclusive dance education and to strengthen one's role as a mediator within the social and artistic contexts of the Berlin and international dance scene.
The curriculum covers dance education for early childhood education, primary school age, young people, seniors, and inclusive contexts. Participants can also opt to take selected training courses from the Dance and Physical Theater Educational Year programs, which provide additional physical practice and insights into various movement and teaching approaches. Additionally, participants can attend free seminars and workshops in Production & Management, covering essential knowledge in areas such as funding, marketing, and legal aspects necessary for establishing an artistic career.
The program runs from February 11 to May 21, 2027, with a break from March 20 to April 4. Classes are held Monday to Thursday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, excluding public holidays and Berlin school holidays.
The tuition for the program is €1,800, with the option for installment payments available at no additional cost. Participants may also qualify for the KOMPASS subsidy program if they have been self-employed full-time for at least two years.
This program is aimed at individuals aged 20 to 60 who are motivated, reliable, and open to new ideas. It is suitable for those looking to deepen their expertise in community dance and inclusive work, expand their professional network, and prepare for careers in dance education or cultural education.
Interested applicants must complete a three-step application process: 1) Sign up and pay a €30 application fee, 2) Submit an artistic curriculum vitae and a short letter of motivation, and 3) Participate in a personal interview, either on-site or via video call. The application fee is non-refundable in case of cancellation or no-show.
The program is conducted in English and German, with support for international participants who are expected to actively learn German.

Overall I’m very happy with my experience at Seneca, I had the opportunity to dive into many different disciplines and find out what I want to focus on. The program provided me great structure on my training routine, with knowledge on how to train properly for what I want to achieve. The teachers were mostly very knowledgeable and nice, with some of them training us throughout the whole year and some others being there only temporarily. I personally enjoyed training in different spaces, but I can also see how people dislike that. Our group consists of people from different backgrounds, levels and ages which made the experience quite diverse. For sure there‘s some things to be improved in management and organisation, but you can give input and feedback and also voice your wishes of what classes you would like to have. I would have liked some more regular input on creation, because most of the time is focused on physical training. We had one group showing in December and one show in July that we had more time to prepare and work on. In May we had a residency at Schloss Bröllin with the whole group which was super nice. The whole program definitely gave me direction and made me realise that I really wanna continue doing circus. Now my next perspective is to apply to other circus schools and keep training. Some of our group were already accepted into other schools but some also won‘t continue with circus as their main focus in life. I think the program can fit for different kinds of people and is also rather low commitment compared to a 2 year prep-school, but after finishing the first year I would actually like to do a second one.
