Admission is contingent upon a favorable assessment by the Examining Committee of the applicant’s technical abilities.

The assessment will be based on a video produced by the applicant and an online motivational interview.

The video (12 minuts maximum) shall show the applicant executing:

- a brief dance sequence with the following floor steps: adagio, pirouettes, small jumps and grand allegro (women shall perform this en-pointe);

- a contemporary dance solo lasting a maximum of 2 minutes.

The video must clearly show the applicant but does not have to be of professional quality and it must be uploaded to the Office365 platform within August 31, 2025 at 11:59 pm (Italian time).

The interview will take place in Milan on September 3 or 4, 2025.

To submit your video for selection, please follow these steps:

1) Clic here below to access the upload platform (Office365)

2) Clic on select button “Seleziona file” and choose your video. The system will not allow you to change the name of the file, so we recommend that you prepare the video on your PC or phone already with a suitable name.

3) Once chosen your video, a new window will ask you to type the candidate’s name (“Nome”) and surname (“Cognome”). Then press the upload button “Carica”. The system will show you the uploading process and it will confirm the outcome at the end.

The Committee will not view videos sent in any other way or without details.
