Why study in Cairo?
If you are looking for an experience that will significantly enhance your professional
dance training but are also interested in getting to know a different culture, history
and language, then Cairo is a great option!
Egypt’s capital is the largest city in both Africa and the
Middle East, where thousands of years of history and
influences merge. This bustling metropolis,
positioned at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and
Africa is where trade, investment, and cultures have
formed a vibrant hub for over 7,000 years.

For a performing artist working internationally, being aware of diverse approaches to
dance but also to various cultures is invaluable, also to one’s career. Living in a
different community becomes a life-changing experience and is simply unforgettable.
