Program Overview

Program Description:

Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company (KCDC), hosts a unique 5-month and 10-month international study abroad dance program known as Dance Journey. Open to dancers from 18 years of age and up from around the world, this incredible program provides an outstanding opportunity for professional development while dancing side-by-side with KCDC dancers while learning from one of the leading dance companies in the world.

With a faculty composed of some of the best choreographers and teachers throughout Israel, the Dance Journey program includes KCDC repertoire, ballet, modern, contemporary, and a space for participants to create original choreographic work. The program also offers Hebrew classes, tours around Israel, volunteering activities, and more. Starting every September and February, the program takes place in the International Dance Village, Kibbutz Ga’aton, where KCDC's main company and second company dancers along with participants of the Dance Journey program study and live together. Dance Journey dancers have an amazing opportunity to take part in 'Nitzotzot' where they are given the time, space, and tools to create an original choreography. Dancers are given unlimited use and access to KCDC's professional dance studios along with professional guidance throughout the creation process. Ultimately, they work with professional lighting design and present their work on KCDC's main theater. A growing number of Dance Journey's past participants are now dancing in KCDC's main and second companies and have received contracts with other professional dance companies in Israel and around the world. The Dance Journey program offers dancers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for professional development and job networking with other Israeli companies.
