IES Abroad Paris – Studio Art, Dance & Music

Calling Paris a capital for the visual and performing arts is a massive understatement. Monet, Renoir, Degas, Matisse… The list of artists who have worked in Paris is nearly endless. Then there are the musicians who have called Paris home, such as Édith Piaf, Django Reinhardt, Sydney Bechet, and so many more.

Museums? How about the Louvre, the Pompidou Center, the Museum d’Orsay, and dozens of others. Paris is truly a great city to discover, appreciate, and study nearly any artistic pursuit.

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, music-- in one of the world’s major artistic centers.

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. While dancers can develop dance skills at the Paris Marais Dance School under highly respected professionals. Studio art students can develop their painting and drawing skills at the Villa Bastille. 

In order to participate in this program, two semesters of college-level French are required for Dance and Music, and four for Art.
