Certificate program
Peridance Capezio Centre
New York City, NY
I have attended two certified courses. One was focused on Jose Limón technique (Professional Certificate Studies Program José Limón Dance Foundation) and the other on contemporary dance techniques with a combination of Asian classical techniques and physical theatre. Both courses gave me an improvement in dance technique and performance skills.
2011-2017
Diploma Specialist degree
Conservatory Duncan Center
Prague, Czechia
The Duncan Centre is a unique institution, being the only high school and post-secondary program in the Czech Republic dedicated exclusively to contemporary dance. Central to its curriculum is the core subject of Creation, which fosters independent thinking and encourages students to explore their own artistic expression. The program places a strong emphasis on international collaboration. During my studies, I had the opportunity to participate in university programs in Tilburg, Netherlands, and Antwerp, Belgium, through the Intensive Study Program (ISP) in 2015 and 2016. Additionally, through workshops led by visiting professors, I engaged with dancers from around the world, broadening my artistic perspective.
