The program is intended for young dancers who have already completed an intensive and professional training path. The group has limited places, and participation is based on selection.
To apply, applicants must send a CV, photographic material, and the registration form available at this link. Applications must be sent to info@opusballet.it with the subject line “Pulse Audition”.

The Pulse Program is a professional contemporary dance program that offers intensive training and artistic research opportunities. Through a broad and rich curriculum, participants will follow daily workshops and classes in contemporary technique, composition, improvisation, and somatic practices. Throughout the year, international choreographers will lead masterclasses and creative residencies, and numerous performances are scheduled to deepen engagement with the global choreographic scene.

The program also includes a mentoring pathway to help build one’s artistic profile, such as CV writing and the preparation of video material, enabling each participant to develop their own solo work during the year. Another key element is the internship with COB Opus Ballet Company, offering the experience of working within a professional company.

The program begins in September 2025 and ends in June 2026, with over 35 weeks of intensive training designed to provide you with a high-level professional experience!
