Who are the teachers
P.A.R.T.S. works with a wide network of professional artists and experts in their fields, both from Belgium and abroad. The teachers vary every year, offering both continuity and new approaches.

What is the workload
The Bachelor Training Cycle is a full-time program that lasts three years. It requires daily physical and intellectual engagement from its students.

What is the working format
Most classes are collective. There are no separate study tracks for dancers and choreographers, as it is assumed that a dancer today must also be a creator, and a choreographer’s craft is rooted in physical work in the studio. In the 2nd and 3rd years, students have increasing opportunities for individual choices.

Who is it for
Bachelor Training students are between 18 and 25 years old when they start and must have a good working knowledge of English (B2 or higher on the CEFR scale). P.A.R.T.S. welcomes students from all cultural, ethnic and social backgrounds, as well as all gender identities.

Study costs 2025–28
The total cost for the full three years is 15,000 EUR, including a one-time registration fee of 6,000 EUR and annual tuition fees of 3,000 EUR.

Scholarships
P.A.R.T.S. provides a limited number of scholarships to students who do not have enough financial resources and have not succeeded in getting scholarships from other funding bodies. The application process for a P.A.R.T.S. scholarship starts after the final audition. Applicants are asked to provide detailed financial information and scholarships are granted according to the financial needs of the student and the available budget. P.A.R.T.S. depends on external sources for scholarships, so nothing can be guaranteed.

How to apply
Candidates must register for one (and only one) pre-selection date and location via the online registration form on parts.be. Each pre-selection has a limited capacity. Only candidates selected during a pre-selection can participate in the final audition, which takes place from April 13–18, 2025, in Brussels (Belgium). Participation in the final audition is mandatory to be selected for the Bachelor Training Cycle.
