🌎🌏 International students - visas?

We are honored to regularly welcome international students to our intensives and various workshops. It is an impactful opportunity for dancers’ career and personal growth. Indeed, such creative and cultural exchanges foster dialogue, strengthen professional relationships, and spark creative artistry. Diversity of backrgounds and countries enriches the learning environment and the future of dance.

The European territory of France is part of the “Schengen Area”, which encompasses multiple European States to form a common space of free movement for persons. For many countries (list below), you don’t need a visa in order to enter any member country of the Schengen Area.

Coming from another country, you would need to apply for a legally required Visa. We can send you a letter of invitation and guide you through the steps of application. More details here: https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/who-needs-schengen-visa/
