What did studying at the National Academy of Arts as a teacher-choreographer give me: new knowledge - YES, without a doubt. Different styles dance - that's for sure. Folk dance was like shock therapy for me. Let me explain a little, I am a contemporary, I dance contemporary, jazz, modern, and formerly hip-hop. Therefore, folk dance was a discovery for me)) but it turns out there is also improvisation in folk dance!!))
Also, wonderful teachers, masters of their craft, creative and talented people. Alina Venediktova is a treasure trove of knowledge and an endless stream of creativity. After graduation, I continue to go to her classes. And I often see my classmates there. Which is also a big plus. Because we had a wonderful group, and we continue to communicate, and often create together, do common productions. Thank you to the Academy, for extraordinary, talented, like-minded friends with whom I want to create and feed each other with different crazy ideas, make dreams come true. I remember this year with warmth, when I found myself there I had a feeling that I was exactly where I needed to be, here and now.
What’s more, the very responsive administration can always understand the student’s situation and take into account various nuances and force majeure. Very kind, sincere people.
And of course, a state diploma. sample. This is the first thing they asked me when applying for a job. I work in secondary school, teacher of additional education. Speaking Russian, I lead dance clubs for children of different ages.
If you urgently need to get a diploma, then this is the shortest time available in Moscow.
From experience, I can say that for dance to become my profession of the year, it’s very little, if there was a second year, I would be happy to continue my studies. But I’m already learning all the time, using other programs, at master classes, and in the process of work. You must be able to let go of the teacher, and go on a free swim, fill your own bumps))) To sum it up!!! I felt good and relaxed there.

I would like to say a huge thank you to the Duncan school for the opportunity to become a choreographer in 9 months!!! Unfortunately, my studies have come to an end...But I hope that I will continue to be friends with this school and attend the areas I love. This school has wonderful teachers, true professionals who are passionate about their work! The classes are very well structured - 90 min. - this is real time in which they work with you (and even more!). Warm-up, learning ligaments, repetition, learning new movements, stretching, plus all this to the perfect music. Very consistent approach to classes, a lot of attention to safety in performing movements. You really get pleasure from classes, a boost of energy and good mood for the whole day, and the result is visible after just a few classes. The highest level of teaching, individual approach to each student, demanding, so you need to give 100%. For me now DUNCAN is a family, an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. I'm surrounded here wonderful people, very positive and kind. It is very pleasant to be within the walls of this place! Here I was finally able to really open up, try myself in those dance styles, in which I never imagined seeing myself. Here I found really real friends who are passionate about a common cause - dance. Now I dance, which means I live...!!

I have been studying at Duncan Academy since February 2015. I've been looking for a long time for a place where I could get additional education, but where you didn’t have to study for 3 years by correspondence, as many universities offer. It seems to me that this is a great opportunity not only to get a diploma after studying for 9 months, but also to practically try different styles of dance. And not only try, but actually learn how to apply them in choreography. It's about about such directions as classical dance, folk dance, modern jazz, contemporary dance, street dance (hip-hop, jazz-funk, house, etc.), ballroom dancing, and also the art of choreography, where they provide a very good theoretical basis. Speaking about the teachers, I would like to emphasize their professionalism and ability to present the material. Even if you have never danced ballroom (like me), you can easily not only learn, but also choreograph dance routines. During the lessons, all techniques, tricks and techniques are thoroughly discussed. They will tell you how to teach a particular subject not only to adults, but also to children. Moreover, studying in such a group among such interesting and creative people is also a great pleasure!
Choreographer is engaged in staging group and individual dance numbers. It works not only with theater performances, but also with ice shows, music videos, ballet parts for adults and little dancers. The profession is suitable for those who are interested physical education and singing, music(cm. choosing a profession based on interest in school subjects).
Brief description
They become choreographers talented people who have excellent musical and aesthetic taste, excellent physical fitness. Over the years of work, the dance director manages to travel to many countries, traveling with creative team where he works.
A professional dance director will always be in demand in theaters, children's and adult creative studios, and fitness clubs.
The main rule of choreographers is to maintain excellent physical shape, because without this it is simply impossible to work. Therefore, their life consists of training, activities, permanent business trips, and work takes away most of time.
What is life like for a choreographer?
Practicing ballet dancers, rhythmic gymnasts, and figure skaters become choreographers. Dancers who, after retirement, do not want to radically change their lives, also go into this field. These are high-level professionals who can show in practice what a particular movement looks like; they work in different dance styles.
The choreographer reports to the head of the troupe, while working he interacts with makeup artists, lighting designers, and organizers, controlling the entire process of preparation for the performance. But these are not all his responsibilities; let’s learn more about the rest:
- teaching students to dance, acting at the level required by a professional dancer;
- improving students' technique;
- collective and individual choreographic performances;
- choice of costumes, makeup, hairstyles for dancers;
- conducting rehearsals (group and individual);
- creating a repertoire taking into account the requirements of the modern viewer;
- cultural and educational activities;
- development of aesthetic taste, musical ear, and emotionality in dancers.
A choreographer is a mentor, an assistant who is constantly with the dancers, improving their skills. It depends on the choreographer how unusual and beautiful the production will be. He forms a picture, then brings it to life with the help of actors and music, making the hearts of the audience flutter.

A professional choreographer is a person who started dancing at the age of 5-8 years. At the age of 11-12 years, dancers enter schools or colleges, after which they apply to the choreography department (direction " Choreographic art"). During admission, it is very important to pass the creative exam perfectly, demonstrate flexibility, ear for music, but it’s better to forget about shyness and stiffness.
