Traditionally, two of the early summer evenings are dedicated to the dance stars of the future. Graduating students from the Ballet Academy and the Royal Swedish Ballet School meet in Chapter Number Two. During the evening you will see dance created by Swedish as well as international contemporary choreographers.

Ballet Academies

When the Ballet Academy was founded in 1957 by Lia Schubert, it was the first vocational dance school to include not only classical ballet but also modern and jazz dance. It was founded on the basis of several needs: a training programme for students who started their main dance training late, and a great need for an all-round dance education with different forms of dance. The Ballet Academy's dance education is a versatile, qualified and internationally characterised education that provides students with the technical and artistic skills required in the musical/entertainment industry or in dance as an independent art form.

Royal Swedish Ballet School

The Royal Swedish Ballet School in Stockholm trains future dance artists from the first exploratory steps in grade 4 of primary school to the day when the finished dancer meets the professional world. The Royal Swedish Ballet School is Sweden's only institution that trains professional dancers at secondary school level. As the school has a national intake, young people interested in dance from all over the country can make their career choice as dancers already in upper secondary school when they have the best conditions to develop. Dance and theory are integrated into a single school day that gives students both a comprehensive dance education and a basic qualification for university. The Royal Swedish Ballet School trains dancers in modern dance and classical ballet. The programme aims to provide an artistic immersion in stage performance and to explore the body's endless possibilities for expression, and during the programme students are given the opportunity to connect with the country's leading choreographers and stages.
