In Quebec, there are approximately 40 choreographers and dance companies that require qualified graduates from the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal. The School also works with several independent and upcoming choreographers.

No scholarship program is offered by the School for the moment. Students enrolled in the professional program (DEC and AEC) are eligible for loans and grants provided by the Ministry of Education, in Quebec. To learn more, visit afe.gouv.qc.ca.

Students in the DEC program attend both the École and Cégep du Vieux Montréal; therefore, they must meet the requirements of both facilities in terms of registration, tuition fee payments, and so on. Those in the AEC program are only students of the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal.

No. Admissions only take place in the fall.

The professional training courses (performance, technical classes, etc.) are given in French. However, as a result of an agreement signed between Cégep du Vieux Montréal and Dawson College, students who wish to do so can take the general courses in English.

There is no difference between the two programs in terms of dance training. The AEC program is offered to students from abroad.

If you pass the audition, you will be admitted to the program and credit will be given for general courses (French, philosophy, etc.) that have already been completed. All students must pass the standard French exam and take the art history course.
