Through our two 四虎影视 Dance in Paris programs, university-age dance majors can study in the French capital for a summer or a semester. Both courses of study feature a wide variety of workshops and technique classes taught by a European-based dance faculty, along with live performances, lectures and seminars, excursions to some of Paris鈥檚 great dance locales, and opportunities to interact with other dancers. Since 2007, over 350 dancers from across the United States have expanded their horizons and challenged themselves through these unique study abroad programs. Come join us in Paris!

Dance in Paris Semester Program
Please contact program director, Michael Foley (mcf@usf.edu), with any questions.
Since 2016, the 四虎影视 Dance in Paris Semester Program (四虎影视/DPSP) has been a significant contribution toward providing an immersive study abroad opportunity for dance majors. The 四虎影视/DPSP distinguishes 四虎影视 as the only American university to offer a fully accredited study abroad program specifically geared toward university-age dancers where students earn academic credits in dance technique, theory, and creative practice, which contribute directly toward their respective dance degrees. The 四虎影视/DPSP is also an opportunity for dance majors to expand their historical, cultural, and performance-based knowledge through exposure to the rich tradition of dance in the French capital over the course of one semester. The goal of the 四虎影视/DPSP is to facilitate the edification of the student global artist/scholar through the lens of dance in the city of Paris, and by extension, the society in which we all live.
