Tuition fees for Master Danse are 250 EUR per year.

Master Danse is a two-year master's degree at Université Paris 8 - Vincennes - Saint-Denis, in St Denis Cedex, France, taught in French with an inferred September start and a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Dance studies as an academic discipline combine practical training in movement and choreography with theoretical study of dance history, aesthetics, and the analysis of performance. Students typically engage in studio-based practice alongside coursework examining dance from historical, cultural, and theoretical perspectives, including the study of different dance traditions and their development over time. Coursework often addresses choreographic composition, the analysis of movement, and the relationship between dance and other performing arts such as theater and music. Programs in this field also tend to cover the practical and administrative aspects of working in the performing arts, including production, arts management, and the ways dance is presented to audiences in different institutional settings. Because dance sits at the intersection of physical practice and academic research, students are generally expected to develop both performance or choreographic skills and the ability to write and think critically about dance as an art form and cultural practice. Research projects in this field may examine specific choreographers, movements, or periods in dance history, or explore questions about the body, identity, and culture through the lens of movement. Graduates of dance master's programs pursue careers as choreographers, dancers, and dance educators, as well as roles in arts administration and cultural programming for theaters, festivals, and performing arts organizations. Others move into research and teaching positions in higher education, or work in cultural policy and arts funding bodies that support the performing arts sector.
