Basis Program

In addition to our 9-month Dance Education the Dance Program, motion*s dance studio Berlin offers a 6-month part-time intensive course in dance, starting in September of each year.
The Basis Program is for people who want to integrate dance more into their lives – in addition to work or study. We offer you training in a closed group on two days as well as access to the entire weekly schedule of the motion*s Tanz- und Bewegungstudio with about 50 different classes per week.

Designed for people who simply enjoy dancing, as well as for already active artists from other areas of the performing arts who want to integrate dance into their artistic expression. Likewise, the basis program can be an introduction to the large field of body therapy / bodywork or an addition to an education in this area.

Previous experience in dance and movement is always helpful, but unlike our 9-month dance program is not required. For dancers who want to pursue a career as professional dancers, there is the motion*s Dance Program in preparation for further dance studies and a career in dance.

The diversity of the Basis Program covers the span from urban dance to contemporary dance. Hip Hop, African Dance, Contemporary, Jazz, Healthy Ballet, Alignment, Tribal Fusion, Contact, Freestyle and Improvisation techniques will be part of your training.

1) Sunday, 7th May 2023
2) Sunday, 2nd July 2023
A processing fee of 25 € will be charged beforehand. Detailed information will be given with the audition confirmation email after your registration.

The workshop will take place at motion*s in Berlin . Details about this workshop will be sent to you by e-mail after registration.
Participation in a recording workshop is mandatory. For registration please use the form below on this page.

Online Audition

This year we offer you the possibility of an online audition!
Application deadline: 25th June 2023

Here’s how it works:
  1.  You fill in the registration form on our website and type “online” as an audition date.
  2.  You will receive an e-mail with the information to transfer the processing fee of 25 €.
  3.  You submit the following videos online (Vimeo, YouTube, GoogleDrive):
    – two or more short videos (min. 1 minute each) in which you dance. Show your versatility and passion!
    – a short “self-interview video” in which you will tell you why you want to participate in the BASIS PROGRAM: your motivation, your goals, why exactly this program, etc.

Please upload your videos to a hosting service such as Vimeo, GoogleDrive, YouTube or other. Thank you for not sending video files or download links.

Nevertheless, participating in one of the audition workshops allows you to get to know us and the other applicants directly. Therefore, we recommend that you attend one of the two workshops if possible.
By the way, the processing fee of 25€ is the same for both options.
