IES Abroad Paris – Studio Art, Dance & Music

The Studio Art, Dance & Music Program offers you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to concentrate on and advance your skills in art—painting, drawing, photography, music, or dance—at one of four prestigious institutions in Paris, one of the world’s major artistic centers.

Sharpen your photographic eye in the  beginner oradvanced courses at the Studio Vermès, where you’ll use the city of Paris to capture images around a given theme. Serious musicians can compose, practice, and perform at the École Normale de Musique de Paris/Alfred Cortot, a leading conservatory that prepares you for the rigors of life as a professional musician. Or develop your dance skills at the Paris Marais Dance School, where you’ll train in ballet or contemporary dance under highly respected professionals.

Why Paris?

You know what it's like to fall in love—but Paris won't break your heart. You'll want to spend all of your time admiring cultural icons like the Eiffel Tower. You'll get lost in the city's exquisite art scene. You'll want to savor the decadent French cuisine at local restaurants. You'll take long walks along the River Seine and wander aimlessly through the city streets for hours. All in the name of love. Je t'aime, Paris!
