HOW?
Within the contemporary dance workshop, the artistic director Stefano Fardelli will select aspiring contemporary and urban dance students for a three years professional program, with internationally recognized diplomas, held by dance academies partnering with EurAsia Dance Project International Network in Europe.
The academy welcoming the EurAsia Students are:
Accademia Susanna Beltrami of Milan (Italy), DanceHaus Hip Hop Department of Milan (Italy), Padova Danza of Padua (Italy), CDSH – Contemporary Dance School Hamburg (Germany), and for the exchanges the Dansk Talent Akademi of Holstebro (Denmark), ARC – Advanced Dance Program of Lyon (France).
All the audition winners will be awarded with a 30% – 40% – 50% – 60% – 80% EurAsia Scholarship, granted for all the three years professional program, becoming part of the Network as EurAsia Students, followed by a Scholarship for one year master, after the diploma, and after turning from Students into EurAsia Dancers.
The total value of the scholarships, which will be brought to Brazil this 2026, amounts to 180.000,00€: Stefano Fardelli is not obliged to hand over all the scholarships, but will only award those students who are ready for this opportunity up to the maximum amount indicated here above.
In what parts of the world are the EurAsia Auditions held?
The EurAsia Auditions take place in various countries of the world, including Brazil, Mexico, Rwanda, Senegal, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, India and in other 20 countries of the world every year.
Why do other auditions limit the age to 22 years old and Eurasia Auditions don’t?
In Europe, most academic programs set an age limit between 23 and 25 years old. However, through the EurAsia Auditions on tour in the five continents, Stefano Fardelli has managed to extend the age of entry up to 29 years. This is because the network has highlighted the situation in the rest of the world where many artists start their professional career at a later age or after studying other university careers.
What does the scholarship I can obtain consist of?
Our audition process provides participants with access to study programs without the need to travel abroad. In addition, selected participants will receive educational scholarships covering up to 80% of the annual tuition costs over three years, followed by an extra Scholarship for a Master after the Diploma in the third year.
FOR THIS YEAR BRAZIL THE SCHOLARSHIPS WILL COME INTO EFFECT IN THE SCHOOL YEAR 2027/28.
This is to give selected individuals time to prepare for their trip and change of residence to Europe. Through the EurAsia Dance Project International Network, trades, guidance, and assistance will be provided for visa applications, allowing them to live, study, and work legally in Europe.
What other benefits do I get as a scholarship recipient?
Once in Europe, the EurAsia Dance Project International Network ETS provides economic incentives to outstanding dancers and facilitates collaboration in various school projects and residencies among schools and institutions associated with the Network. This offers them the opportunity to travel to different countries to participate in courses, competitions, and artistic production seasons in places like Poland, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, France, the United Kingdom and more.
