The programme aims to train dancer-performers by developing their personal artistic profile through a double proficiency in classical and contemporary dance techniques, as well as through artistic and professional practice. The curriculum includes cross-disciplinary courses with the Bachelor’s degree Ingemedia from Université de Toulon.
Language Level Requirements
All classes in our DNSP programme are delivered in French and English. The theoretical classes are mainly delivered in French but some of our faculty members are proficient in English and Italian. Additionally, our guest teachers speak English.

ERASMUS + OUT
Students at PNSD Rosella Hightower can benefit from ERASMUS exchanges to participate in internships or pursue part of their studies in our partner schools
Admission Requirements
If you wish to participate in an Erasmus exchange over the course of the 2024-2025 academic year, you may proceed to prepare step 1 as of back to school in 2023.
Your application must be known and approved by the PNSD before the Christmas break. It is then up to the applicant to find information about the application procedure by contacting the school they wish to join for an Erasmus mobility.
The mobility cannot be conducted in the student’s country of origin – an Italian student wishing to benefit from mobility in Italy, for instance. However, if you have pursued both your primary and secondary education in France, you may consider an Erasmus mobility. In this case, you will be expected to provide a demonstration of your diplomas.
Applications must be sent by email to amelie.clisson@pnsd.fr or by mail to Amélie Clisson de Macedo PNSD Rosella Hightower 140 Allée Rosella Hightower 06250 Mougins.
PLEASE NOTE : students should submit their application as soon as possible. Administrative procedures may prove long and it is highly recommended to initiate them ahead of time. We encourage you to contact your Coordinator for clarification and more information and guidance on the application submission.
