Danshögskolan

Danshögskolan (or University College of Dance) is a Swedish institution offering higher education in the fields of dance education, folk dance, dance, dance therapy, historical dance, choreography and contemporary circus. Danshögskolan, which operates under the Ministry of Education, is the only independent University College of higher education for dance in Sweden. Danshögskolan is fully funded by the Government and therefore has no tuition fees.

Danshögskolan's neocircus program is the home of the circus school [http://www.cirkor.se Cirkus Cirkör] . Attendance at the circus schools is awarded on the basis of live auditions held in Stockholm, with tests of physical strength, flexibility, endurance and theatrical skill. In addition each applicant is required to give a demonstration of their own performance specialty.

The program, headed by Ivar Heckscher, trains students in acrobatics; equilibristics; aerial technique; and juggling. [http://www.danshogskolan.se/dh/english/programme_in_neo_circus.html] In addition, each student receives advanced training in at least one discipline. The neocircus program includes theoretical studies to complement each student's personal artistic development.

Until 2007 no Americans had ever been accepted into the neocircus program. In June, 2007, American juggler Wes Peden became one of 16 students chosen -- from 68 candidates, who were culled from 200 applicants. [http://www.airplayjugglers.com/peden2sweden.html]
