​“BESEEN’s individualized tracks gave me the chance to really define what I wanted to work on, whether that was finding the best career/educational path for me, expanding my choreographic process, improving my improvisational and performance skills, or even self discovery. I entered the program knowing my long term goals in dance and life, and came out at the end of the year with a sustainable means of getting there.” - ALUM​
​
“There is newfound freedom I've experienced when I don't stick to my habits, liberation that comes from expanding my choices and knowing the possibilities are endless, and bravery to break out of any and all cages (physical, mental, emotional, societal) in order to be authentic, unafraid, able to listen to and trust my intuition, and to be grounded in the practice of being seen. These are all things Catie and I worked on throughout the semester and that were included in my final project and that I now tap into everyday.” - ALUM
What Makes BESEEN Different:
​
-
From External Approval to Internal Knowing: Learn to use your technical foundation as a springboard for personal expression, not just precise execution. Most dance programs train you to execute steps, but don't teach you how to develop your own creative voice and make independent artistic choices.
​
-
Strategic Career Development Beyond Prescribed Paths: Explore the full spectrum of dance career possibilities, from entrepreneurship to touring to commercial work. University programs often prepare you for traditional pathways without addressing the reality that most successful dancers create hybrid careers that don't fit neat categories.
​
-
Individual Mentorship Within Supportive Community: Receive personalized guidance tailored to your specific artistic goals and career interests while building lasting relationships with like-minded peers. Even in smaller programs, individual attention is limited and rarely focuses on your unique artistic development needs.
​
-
Industry Introductions & Real-World Preparation: Connect directly with working dance professionals and gain honest insights about dance career realities, from budgeting to contributing to a choreographic process. Most programs have limited industry connections and don't prepare you for the business side of building a dance career.
"The best part of this journey for me is how much more confident I have become in my dancing and creative decisions." - ALUM
